i am dealing with depression pretty heavily. i am trying to deal with my right index finger amputation 3 weeks ago.

hi sorry to hear that your suffering maybe its the realisation of having one less finger is getting you down hopefully its not hindering you in any way.i damaged my left index finger about 25 year ago and every now and then it flares up if i hurt it meaning days/weeks of pain its a finger i could easily go without if i could.

It’s a loss and it’s ok to feel depressed about such a thing. I’d be depressed too I hope you’re learning to manage without it. Give it some time.

My sister lost most of her thumb and a tip of a finger it does bother her but she learned to use her hand very well. She’s very pretty and has her moments about the loss and phantom pain but she takes it in stride she lost it as a child in a farm accident. She always had friends and boyfriends and jobs .. you’re going to be ok. Big hug

I am sorry that happened. It is a loss so let yourself mourn, I agree with everyone else. I just wanted to wish you well. Are you going to P T ?
