I can’t cope

I can’t cope

Hi. I’m new and have never been in anything like this before.
I’m really struggling with depression at the moment and just need a place to vent.
there is no reason as to why I feel this way. I just hate myself and feel like I’m an unworthy and useless person. I don’t have a partner or many friends. I feel like I keep pushing them away when I’m down. I’m just not worthy of them. I hate life and just wish I would go to sleep and not wake up. I feel so much emotional pain inside but numb at the same time. None of this makes any sense but it just how I feel.

Hi @lavenderhaze

He is only 7 months old! I am blaming myself.

Im hoping fixing it now (while the vet is still there) helps him in the future and that he doesn’t develop arthritis or anything

Re: I can’t cope

Animals can be pretty rough eh @Captain24 our dog isn’t too bad, but she’s on her own, no other dog to run around with. But the cats full on attack each other. They are both as bad as each other though. I watch them and see how savage they can be, biting full on and they seem to know to go for the neck!

if you can afford pet insurance it might be worth it. Pretty sure they don’t cover any pre existing conditions though. Operations are always so expensive no matter what they are. Plus all the tests and medications. I was quoted $700 for an ultrasound for one of my cats. Thankfully he didn’t end up needing it. And he was on a medication that I also take but it cost me $70 for him!

hopefully you can get him in for this Friday then, will certain give you peace of mind being around while he recovers.

How're you going @Bow?

@Captain24 I don't think this was something that you could have controlled, though; sometimes things happen that we could not have predicted or prevented. Be kind to yourself ❤️

Re: I can’t cope

Is the breed prone to these types of things @Captain24 ?

I always get male cats. They are cheaper to desex! lol that’s mostly the reason. But then I find out that they are also prone to urinary issues- I’ve had 2 of my boys have urinary issues.

Hope your maybe sleeping @Captain24

@lavenderhaze im just trying to get through the day. Curled up in bed watching tv with a cuppa.
how r u?

Re: I can’t cope

Yes it’s the breed @Bow. Pixies knee occasionally does the same thing. But hers doesn’t require surgery as her knee cap will go back in. Jetts won’t.

Input my phone in the other side of the room and managed to get 1 1/2 hrs.

I hope you are doing as well as you can be

@Bow @Captain24 it’s not easy when a fur baby isn’t doing well.

@Captain24 it’s not your fault, sometimes pets get sick no matter how good of a parent you are to them. I hope your dog starts to feel better soon 💖
