Need support. Please

[NiBa5]

I've been suffering from antidepressant withdrawal that caused me a brain trauma for years. I'm getting better but not ok yet.

Then......my cat is dying now. He has FIV (cat AIDS). All of a sudden his health deteriorated yesterday. He vomited blood this morning. He looks too weak to put up with a trip to a vet. This friendly people's cat has been my savior. I cannot stop crying. It's absolutely too much.

I'm alone....I need support.

PS

My beloved cat passed away in the morning....I don't know how to cope with my imperfect brain.

I hear what you are saying and my heart goes out to you and your cat You can get well from antidepressant withdrawal I will post advice for that later meanwhile look after yourself and your cat just make sure your cat is comfortable

[NiBa5 in reply to lillyofthevalley37]

Thank you for reaching out. I couldn't sleep last night and I cannot eat right now. I pushed a piece of bread into my mouth right now. I just keep crying.

I'm getting better but if you can give me advice, it'll be greatly helpful. Hugs

[lillyofthevalley37 in reply to NiBa5]

My advice is to make yourself a warm drink and a piece of toast or a snack , make sure your cat has water nearby and is comfortable, just sit by your cat and have your drink , that's all you can do for now , just let nature take its course , I am here for you, hugs

[NiBa5 in reply to lillyofthevalley37]

My cat died an hour ago relatively peacefully. I'm just crying badly right now. He was the sweetest cat I've ever had.

I'm not totally recovered from my brain trauma....so its do hard right now.

[lillyofthevalley37 in reply to NiBa5]

You did a good job looking after your cat he is in a wonderful place now and you will meet him again one day , I will let you grieve but will catch up with you later to talk about your issues , sorry for your loss, hugs

[NiBa5 in reply to lillyofthevalley37]

Thank you for reaching out. I'm a mental health care professional but I cannot help myself with my recovering imperfect brain. Again thank you for your support. Talk to you later

[lillyofthevalley37 in reply to NiBa5]

I was looking at some of your recent posts and it seems you have been improving lately ?

Are you on another antidepressant?

[NiBa5 in reply to lillyofthevalley37]

Yes I'm improving but not ok yet. I started Prozac 40mg 13 months ago. I think it started working 8 or 9 months after I started it.

Sorry for your loss, we lost our lovely cat, she was a rescue cat. We had her for 12 years and she was 5 when we got her, my dog was her best friend. He spent weeks looking everywhere in the garden for her. I hope you feel better soon.

[NiBa5 in reply to san_ray70]

Thsnk you for reaching out and support me..

I rescued my cat too. We did feed him when he started visiting us at our office then I brought him home when I found he had FIV. He was 4 or so when i brought him home 5 years ago. I just feel so sad since his life was so short. I miss him so much.

I can imagine how much your dog has missed her. My other cat is looking for his buddy too....I can see him stressed out today.

I hope you're doing well. Hugs

Thank you so much.

[Lenamurzinajoy]

NiBa5, that's all called the peak-hour of circumstances. Try to rule them out, administrate or just a sleep for a while. You never longer the day when the same comes to us. Live well.

[NiBa5 in reply to Lenamurzinajoy]

Tbank you for your response

[swordfishll]

[NiBa5 in reply to swordfishll]

Thank you so much for reaching out and support. It helps me a lot. I miss him.so much....(((hugs))) to you too.

Hi, my cat died just before the holidays. He was such a nice cat and we miss him. I know how you feel. I will rescue another one soon because they give such love and we give them love back. You will be feeling stronger in a little while. Be good to yourself and take some "me time". God bless.

[NiBa5 in reply to Pel3749]

Thank you for reaching out and support. I feel you too. Yeah, they are family. I miss him too much since he was the affectionate and friendly cat. He helped me a lot when my withdrawal was terribly bad. He was my savior. I have one more cat but he's not affectionate. Hope you're doing ok. And I also hope you can get another one!!!

I’m sorry to hear abt losing your cat. I took my late friend’s cat in to live a us when my friend passed away. I do not know a lot about cats , but I do know her cat was such a help to when my friend passed. So. I can understand your cat most likely was deaf to you. I’m sorry for your loss of your cat.

As fat as your physical health or your antidepressants I can’t comment. But I hope you feel better physically as well as emotionally.
