How are you doing llrrrpp? Are you feeling any better today? I hope you had a good night's rest.
I like to sleep my days away when I'm depressed. I think it's good that you're getting up everyday and going to bed at a specific time.
Having dental problems can be really stressful. I had a toothache last month for a week and it just wore me out. I was crying and it even triggered me to think my bad thoughts. I think it's good that you're planning on going to the dentist soon. The worse thing that could happen is that you'll lose that tooth. Teeth can be replaced, it's not the end of the world. It just costs a bunch to get it replaced.
You feel bad enough already, but now you feel worse because you think you made your husband feel bad. It's okay, I'm sure your husband understands. Does he know how depressed you are? Can you call him when you feel lonely?
I think it's very important that you find ways to stay safe. You're thinking about ways to harm yourself and that's not okay. I used to think those thoughts a lot, so much so that I began to think they were normal, but they're not. Make sure your pdoc knows. Does she/he do psychotherapy with you? I think talking to someone about your thoughts can be very helpful for the here and now crises. Maybe call a crisis line if there isn't anyone.
Whenever you feel like hurting yourself, I think you should distract yourself. I find that distraction often helped me. Go to the store and buy some flowers, rearrange them, open a book, bake some cookies or butter tarts, anything, anything you like to do. Think about things that make you happy. I would think about Dr. Bob. Can you think about the love you have for your husband?
I hope you're feeling better today.
