I was also told I was brushing too harshly, and it was starting to cause receding gums.

That's not a thing. That's what the internet tells people is a thing to let them believe they can fix the problem without professional assistance.

That's gingivitis or periodontitis, brotha

Go to a real dentist, get some xrays, get your gums probe depthed, have a four quadrant scaling/root planing, and do a follow up 6 months to a year from that

Don't lose your damn teeth
