Sorry to hear you are having problems with your depression and anxiety maybe your husband is ignorant of how this is affecting you! I'm sorry but he sounds like a cold sort of person went you really need him he should be there in sickness and in health. My wife's been there for me as I've had bad depression and anxiety for years I had a brain haemorrhage 6 years ago and it made my depression worse it was amazing the amount of help I received which meant a difference! I would think getting a dog would help you as there not called man's best friend for nothing try again and explain to him the reasons if put to you! Please take care david

Sorry to hear about your dog. It took me a long time to get over the death of my first dog. For a long time, I just couldn't bear to think about "replacing" her, but years later I was living on my own and feeling lonely, so I finally ended up getting another dog. He's my "fur baby" now, so I know I'm destined to be devastated one day. I hope it's a long time off, but that's just how it is with pets, whose lives are much shorter than ours. We just have to enjoy them while we have them, and give them all the love and attention we can. If you can't get another dog but you already have other dogs, maybe you could try focusing your attention on them.

Losing a pet is one of the worst things that can happen to someone. I lost my dog just over a year ago and my kids desperately want me to get another one. The caveat is I have to take care of it. I can't bear the thought of taking another pet to be euthanized. With that being said, these negative feelings pop up from time to time and its all about managing them. When they happen, do you have coping mechanisms? I think you are ok since it doesn't happen all the time. I manage all of my issues well but I just came off of four bad days in a row. They will happen; recognize it, manage it, wait for it to pass, and move on.
