haven’t been to dentist in 6 years almost. Been severely depressed for past year so i wasn’t really brushing daily. would sometimes use floss picks. but now im gaining awareness of how i neglected myself. can a dentist please tell me how bad this is? i am so scared i cant sleep. i’ve also been on doxycycline for my skin the past year if that makes any difference. never done drugs, smoked , or done zyns if that helps. i’m committed to re stabilizing this if it’s not late

From those photos it's not bad at all. Small amount of tartar to clean up and that's about it. The doxycycline is pretty good at suppressing periodontal (gum) disease, so that's been a help to you.
 
@Gordon Thank you for your response!!!
