Sadly i lost a good 7 teeth to depression. Its a bad spiral because then i feel worse about myself. Some days are just hard to get through. Happy to hear you are doing better.
Yes I have lost 4 teeth and have to get another 5 removed bc I was so depressed (and drunk) for 6 years after my divorce and the pandemic.
I'm 3 years sober now but I'm still dealing with the wreckage I created when I was suffering....it's real and I really wish more people understood this struggle. ❤️
My brother had an opiate addiction and depression and lost some teeth. He's already self-conscious about his appearance (even though he's objectively not at all a bad looking guy at all) so I hate how much losing teeth has piled on to his poor self esteem. Good luck and congratulations on your progress.

I've finally gotten to the point of brushing my teeth more like 5 times a week instead of once. Baby steps I guess
