I worry about the homeless animals in my home country Bulgaria. Although I go there each summer and when I come back to Canada where I currently live, I can not sleep now every night because I am trying to find home remotely for some abandoned stray puppies and their mom I found when I was back home. I am so worried and I constantly cry and so worried. I cant eat or sleep. Not sure what to do. 🥺 I found home for 4 and 2 more are left. People in Bulgaria are in general bad with animals and not responsible. I ve been worried about animals all my life.

I worry about the animals all over the world that are being abused and are suffering, it truly breaks my heart and start crying thinking about it. There is so much being shown on the internet and tv commercials. I have to walk out of the room, I can't watch it. Now with the economy and inflation they are raising dog food and people are abandoning there pets, that makes me so mad. Your pet is part of the family, I don't know why people get pets when they don't want to be loyal to them.

as a dog lover and lover of animals in general it`s upsetting at the way countries treat them but thankfully people like you are around to provide some love for them.

I can sympathize with you because I have a very similar problem. I am fine and then all of a sudden a thought will enter my head of an animal suffering somewhere in my community or in another country. It is more than just compassion for animals that I feel, it makes me cry, and it makes me unable to deal with the rest of my day. I have often wondered if this happens to other people when it comes to animals. My empathy for animals is so much that it's difficult for me to handle life. I can't watch the news or see commercials because they may remind me of animals suffering. I wish I could take care of so many dogs. I give so much to charity. The emails that are sent to you for donations, always make me burst into tears. I don't know how to help this or how to explain it to other people because they are so cold. I wish that I wasn't so sad all of the time. The only medicine I have for anxiety is Clonidine which takes a while to work but whenever a thought of an animal enters my head I take one right away. Not much more I can do except try to help animals in any way that I can. Thank you for sharing your post.
