Depression since accident

I had an accident about 6 weeks ago. I had some nasty facial injuries. I've mostly healed on the outside. But there are some things that are different, including my Cupid's bow (philtrum) and I think that's a lifelong change. I'm finding it very difficult to come to terms with, and it's getting me badly down. I had stitches there, which I think we're in too long, and it got infected, and just looks a bit different from before.
I had mental health problems to begin with.
The medical treatment was traumatic, and I honestly wish I hadn't had stitches as it made it worse I think. I didn't want them but gave in due to fear it'd make it worse if I didn't.
I just feel so sad about it all 😔
Has anyone else had post-accident depression?
