i have a dentist appointment today. i have severe depression and obviously very bad hygiene. i havent brushed my teeth in a long time apart from today and i have severe bleeding gums as well as multiple cavities.

i know that the dentist is going to lecture me and ask how many times im brushing etc. and i really cant deal with that rn i already feel really horrible about my self hygiene already.

how do i go about this? i cant straight up tell the dentist im depressed but i cant say that i havent brushed them in months either..
