Re: rough time
I think @Bunniekins is right in saying the feeling of guilt can come from caring. Guilt is so tricky. Sometimes it motivates us to do better but other times it ties us up in knots.
@ethHope your day is good.
@Former-MemberGo easier on yourself, guiltwise. You are doing your best in a tought situation.
One of my worst times with animals was when my sister gave a baby rabbit to my daughter when I was almost crippled with neck pain. Sister enjoyed the big splashy fun birthday gift, but in the end it got myxo ... and had to be put down. I blamed myself for that for a long time. I wish she would have asked me if it was alright to give it ... I could not possibly take on more ... we had a cat and a dog anyway.

Re: rough time
Thanks for tagging me here @Bunniekins and @Appleblossom. Hope you are having good days too.
Mine is very quiet, got my dishes done and floor swept and outside area tidied up but that's about all. Have been snoozing and reading since then.
Will follow along here for a while and probably join in once I've got a sense of what people are talking about here.

Re: rough time
Hi @Appleblossom had the exact same experience with a gifted rabbit to my child also. My sister said it could be housetrained ........ it was vicious, we couldn't even touch it! One day I was looking out my kitchen window and saw rabbit "Miss Milkshake" just roll over and die. So my child said we had to have 2 cats after that, just in case one died.
Hungarian goulash sounds great. If you can be bothered I'd love the recipe.

Re: rough time
Did you always have 2 cats then?
The zoo keepers are good at reminding me of the darker side of animal natures when I get too soft and fluffly about them.
I chose to have 2 kittens from same litter, my son insisted that we not replace the one who died recently, but just keep the surviving one as long as he lasts...
I dont have a proper recipe ... a throw it togetherbasic ingredients and gravy beef in the slow cook ...that will be for tomorrow now.
Lamb and couscous tonight ... changed me mind .. forgot to get the sour cream.

Re: rough time
Thanks @outlander but wonder if hospital for mh is any more better than the doctors.At the end of the day,there is a massive negative attitude towards anyone who gets help for mh.Not only in my W****** mental health nurse who conclusion was I lacked" intimate relationships",which while is a good observation is a pretty narrow insight into my mh eg: ignoring trauma.
Have to take my mother for a scan on Monday and a trip for a mammogram on Wednesday,so I have to put me last as usual.Have to get back into walking everyday @outlander for both mental and physical health.Havent caught up on how everyone else is going.Be busy for a few hours.

Re: rough time
Whatever you do @Former-Member i respect. It has to be the right choice for you. The option is there if you choose as well as other types of therapy thst you dont have to talk about your traumas in.
Sounds like a busy week try and schedule some you time in as well. Walking and gardening and spending time with your cat too the things that you like to do....
