My Minds a mess

My Minds a mess

I wish I had an off button where I don't have to think or feel anything, everything is so stressful and overwhelming, my minds reeling and like a hornets nest, my emotions are all over the place, I just wish I could be a robot where I could just shut down, or do as I'm told without thinking or feeling, I just don't want to feel at all.

I hate having to move, the only living option we have is to live in caravans, but I don't want to, I need space where I can keep an eye one My cat and not have to worry, I tried to talk to my dad about other options but he just won't listen, I know it the only thing we can afford, but I just don't like it, I just don't want to think any more.

Hi @Cats101

I'm sorry to hear that you're facing a move. Relocating, especially when it involves unstable housing or leaving your support network, can be incredibly stressful and overwhelming.

Thank you for sharing the challenges you're navigating right now. I can see how much love and care your have for your cat, and it's beautiful that their wellbeing remains such a priority for you during this difficult time.

As a fellow cat lover (with three mischievous kitties of my own), I truly understand the comfort and grounding that our furry companions bring, especially when life feels uncertain.

It makes sense that your'e feeling powerless and overwhelmed, that's such a heavy weight to carry. Please know you're not alone in this, and I hope your find a stable, peaceful housing solution soon that supports both you and your beloved cat.

Sending you all the best.

Your fellow crazy cat lady!

Alisse
