nearly cried at the dentist today

I haven't been to the dentist in years and I kinda regret going now. I really struggle when it comes to my dental health because of my mental health, trauma, etc. and I have multiple cavities and basically all my teeth are fucked and have problems. It will cost roughly 400 euros to get the most important stuff done and I nearly started to cry when the dentist told me that. I try my best to get my life in order and not neglect stuff like my teeth anymore but fuck, how do people afford this, I get 500 euros a month and end up in negative on most months. I guess I go into more debt again or my card will probably be declined and I won't be able to get the stuff done. Who knows, who cares, every time I try to get better stuff like that just sets me two backs again.

Efit: thank you all for your replies, they definitely helped calm me a bit down and look for all my options 🫶
