I’ve been using Kindles for years, and don’t remember having this issue until recently.

I have a PW11, and have been reading a lot on it. When my mind wanders, I install books I hope to read soon.

A couple of weeks ago, I went to install a couple, and found that it wasn’t working right. The books would seemingly install, but then wouldn’t show the icon representing percentage read or the checkmark. If I clicked to install them again, it would stay on queued.

I reset my Kindle back then, but it’s happening again today.

Any idea what the cause is, or how to fix it? I’d assumed that it was just an Amazon issue.

I’m just wondering how the dental office at CAMH works, and if anyone has experience. I’ve done some searching, but have been too nervous to call.

I know that it’s for patients only, but is it covered by OHIP or insurance?

How do appointments work?

I’ve had severe mental health issues almost my entire life, and have been living with really bad OCD for decades. I developed depression when I was in college, and it got worse when I graduated, couldn’t find work despite graduating early and with honours, and then my mom got sick with cancer. I looked after her for several years, but was severely depressed and have had suicidal thoughts often for many years.

The depression is a bit better, or was, but I didn’t take good care of myself and was afraid to go to the dentist. I slept too much, drank too much pop and didn’t brush enough. Then I got afraid to go as I didn’t have benefits, or just had basic.

I broke parts of two teeth over a month ago, and have gone to the dentist twice (April 16 and 29th). I had procedures done, but they aren’t finished, and they say that I may lose the teeth. I still also need to get a full check up, a potential partial denture and am terrified. They also recommended implants, but those are very expensive.

I somehow went to those appointments, but I couldn’t sleep for days before, tossed and turned on the couch all day and had no peace of mind. My next appointment is a month away and it’s all I can think about. I’ll likely be a mess before it.

Before my other appointments I’d be shaking from anxiety while trying to sleep, or wake up in the middle of the night and do that. It was awful.

The dentist said she was really proud of me (my friend’s daughter works there and talked to her about me), and they complimented me on being a good patient despite my nerves. However, I wasn’t expecting the potentially bad news after being told they were salvageable.

When she told me the potential issues at the start of the appointment, I started to shake from nerves. I couldn’t stop shaking for the 2.5 hour appointment. I believe that I also almost had my first panic attack while she was working on my mouth, but I managed to stop it as it came on.

I’m looking for best options for myself, and am going to look into sleep dentistry too.

However, given how awful my mental health has been, and how bad I fear it may get before the next appointment (given how bad the last one was), I am considering going to CAMH emergency. I’ve taken someone else there a couple of times, but even at my worst, nobody took me. I suffered a lot, and the consequences are scary.

I can’t stop obsessing over this, fearing the worst, and catastrophizing. I don’t have peace of mind, and it’s making me want to die in my sleep or somehow else.

Note: I truly feel like there were times I should have been taken for help at a place like this. However, I just tried to sleep. I’ve done numerous day programs, including at other hospitals, tried many meds (I seem to be treatment resistant), have attended round table support groups for years, talked to 4 psychiatrists, participated in research studies, did counselling, did grief therapy, got denied from one of those online things because I was too severe, talked to a student psychologist, and more.
