I'm so sorry for your suffering. I have also lost teeth and it's traumatic. You are not alone!

Would you consider going to a hospital to check yourself in so that you are cared for, for awhile?

I think you really need to be in hospital for a bit so that your depression can be monitored and treated within a safe space.

It's also very challenging to advocate for yourself when feeling so down... is there anyone, like a social worker, who could accompany you? Call and ask your psychiatrist for a referral to hospital and to a social worker who can accompany you and check up on you once you're out of hospital again.

Make sure to tell your psychiatrist that you'd rather chemo with 8 months recovery than the depression you are dealing with now.

Also, mention that you sleep 18 hours a day and have difficulty performing daily activities, and give examples... (like not being able to wash, if that's the case, or cook, or eat etc.)

I really think you should be in hospital where they serve you 3 meals a day and where they can start tackling this horrid beast that is depression.

Please give us updates if you can...
