it's just one of those depressing times...

You do sound depressed...You must do something about that tooth LetranKnight because being in pain does nothing for the morale! You may need to have the tooth pulled out...The other thing you require is more sleep, have you considered seeing your doctor in regards to insomnia if that is your problem. If you take care of those two issues first may provide some relief and you may feel better. Why don’t you try and let us know how you feel after that.

dear Letran, Oh my dear little brother having toothache Brush your teeth properly ok and avoid too much candies (hehehe) Seriously my dear,depression comes from many reasons. And being contented with our lives doesn't mean stop working or just staying home and sleep and eat all the day. Contentment is when we consider our life as the greatest gift and live our life with happiness. Have a great Monday

hi letran wow you are really depressed and I do think its the constand nagging pain of that tooth thats really tearing at you.Now quit beating yourself up because you are not working as that will not help get out of your depression. You are not data so you are going to have to find out how to unstress. First I would see my dentist again for help from that tooth as I know theres ways to make the darned tooth stop hurting and if the infection is really bad maybe you need a different dentist as this has been bugging you too long. I think most if not all of your depression is because of the pain and the infection, clear that all up you will feel like a new person. I know that nothing except maybe childbirth hurts worst than an infected tooth, so get on your dentist to heal your or refer you to a dentist who can.This makes my teeth ache for you just thinking about it. It takes me back to a bad tooth I had that needed a root canal and the asian woman dentist who refused to give me more pain killer while she drilled out the rotten part of my tooth. Outside of child birth I had never felt such pain it was only when she deadened the nerve of the tooth that it stopped. I had been to a different lady dentist before and I had never suffered any pain when she filled my teeth.So you go get more dental help and get that hurting stopped, I guarantee four fifths of your depression will be gone. let us know what happens. good luck and God bless.

It's easy to give advice, hard to take it.... Sorry about the toothache. When I was a teenager, I felt much the same way, except Data didn't exist, it was Spock. I did make a HUGE effort to keep my emotions where nobody could see them. But what I found is that if you suppress the bad emotions, you suppress the good ones too. Not a good thing.
