5 days post full mouth extraction - depressed

The swelling has largely subsided. My face is bruised from my eyes down to my chin. My bottom gum and cheeks still have a small amount of swelling. Not much pain but it’s uncomfortable for sure.

I can’t talk. I can’t hardly eat. My teeth don’t fit in my mouth so I’m still just sustaining on soup and stuff. I tried to put the teeth in yesterday and it made me bleed so I don’t wanna do that again.

I need this to get better. I don’t recognise myself in the mirror. I know I’ll be worth it in the end but right now I’m struggling so bad, I feel myself getting depressed. My mother is leaving Monday so I’ll be here by myself with my 4 year old and back to normal and that’s going to be so hard.
