I'm so scared. I live alone and suffer from anxiety and depression, I wake up with anxiety very early in the morning, racing heart, feeling sweaty and uncomfortable and I worry about everything. Recently my teeth started falling out, I've lost two teeth in two weeks. The dentist suggested dentures because my remaining teeth are loose due to unchecked gum disease and need to be taken out. I haven't had dental insurance in over 20 years so I just kept putting off going to a dentist because of the cost. I'm so ashamed of myself and I don't even want to be seen in public, it's difficult enough going to work. All of this just makes my anxiety worse, it's all I think about and I feel more isolated. Please somebody help, I'm alone and just can't deal with this.

Sometimes Groupon has good dental deals- I don't have dental insurance and just get my cleanings by buying Groupons. I don't know if they have them for more advanced dental care but it's worth a try. Or maybe see if any dentists will work with a payment plan for you. Are you still on same meds, as when we were writing on your previous post or have you seen if tweaking them might help? I'm so scared too , its awful, still slowly working towards this major move to Colorado hoping for better mental health care over there, but it's a lot to think of a move when simple cleaning, doing groceries overwhelms me at times. I keep you in prayer, that you know His Peace that surpasses understanding. Blessings
