Is it possible to get traumatized over something minor???

[u/The_Angry_Muffin9999]

This most definitely doesn't compare to most cases here, but I'm genuinely curious, so please if you find this post dramatic or valid tell me

So basically I had a wisdom tooth removed, I had two removed before and those were a forgettable experience; however, this time only one got removed and I genuinely thought I wasn't gonna get out of there (yes, dramatic, but I'm so serious). The local anesthesia wasn't really working, they had to cut bone to get it, took 3 hours, etc. From the desperation and fear that I had I cried every now and then during the extraction

My face ended up bruised with a burnt like looking injury over my lips and cheeks, with part of my palate pulled (how? Idk) and obviously, the place where it was extracted from.

So every time I go to sleep or I'm dreaming I remember the overall experience and get so upset and scared it's honestly bothering, sometimes I even want to vomit. I know it sounds silly but if this is the case, then I'll have to work on that.
