Feels like I'm drowning

[IheartDogs]

Not even sure what to say at this point. My pet was not well today and had to take her to the vet ER. I was so physically exhausted from the emotional stress that I could not go to work today. Now I'm even more stressed about about calling in to work and still worrying about my pet. And this is all on top of my regular everyday depression and dealing with life. Just needed to vent here.

I'm sorry, IheartDogs. I love animals, too and our pets are so dear to us that we hurt when they hurt. Vent away if you need and we will be there for you. Thinking of you & your dear little pet.

I empathize. In the ER with daughter 2 days ago and I’m still emotionally drained. Very anxious. I took today through Friday off because I NEEDED it! Felt bad for a minute about missing work but then I realized my health comes 1st! Good luck

I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter but hope that she and you are having a better day today 💖

You have my empathy. I always think life is so hard anyway with depression that anything else on top is a nightmare and make it that much more difficult to cope. I hope your pet is ok and try and get a good nights sleep and not to worry too much about work. I am sure if you tell them about your pet they will understand. You can offer to make the time up. x

Thanks hypercat. As for work, my boss is the most uncompassionate person. I try and ignore as much as possible. I'm so drained, will definitely sleep well tonight. I hope you had a good day today 💖

So sorry to hear this. As I am writing this, my GSP, Germany Short-Haired Pointer, is sleeping next to me. Our pets take the edge off of life...mine gives me warm and unconditional love and I love it, as it sounds you do, too. Pets, family, and faith help me to fight depression. Hope your pet is feeling better and you, too. Please keep posting.
