I need a tomato plant doctor please

Please give me a prescription for this poor tomato plant. She is about 3 months old and is not thriving. Here is her neighbor plant as well. Thanks kindly friends!

I think there are many people here who will help you in any way possible. However those pictures are microscopic. Can you please post large photos, especially a close up of diseased leaves?

I am so sorry to push, but can someone please tell me what I can do to help my tomato plants? I am just learning and my weekend is over tomorrow, so I need some advice please.
Thanks kindly,
Wendy

That looks just like a generally unheathly overwatered tomato plant.

Some questions:

What is the soil like? Does it drain well?

How much sun does it get?

How much water are you giving it?

How depressing.

How depressing is right.

I do appreciate your advice though. I am afraid it has already spread to many of my plants. I will tear them out. Thanks for your help and I will look forward to chatting here on the board again soon!

KCTomato,
Thanks so much for your teaching me! I love learning about this stuff. I just learned about "damping off" I was so encouraged to know, it wasn't just me that that happened to! Also, I looked at your profile. My son was diagnosed autistic about 6 months ago. He is 2. Would love to chat with you more....
