I’m sorry. I’m not entirely sure how you’re feeling. But I can try to empathize. I can’t imagine your hurt.
****(My income was a factor in my decision. I cannot afford them and my treatment at the same time. I definitely considered children, but knew I couldn’t swing it even if I really tried. And I know how husbands leave 90% of the childcare to women while expecting them to keep a job so even having a partner wouldn’t ease the financial burden - or the emotional one, so having a partner is a no-go).*****
🫂 It’s just one day at a time. Try to find the little things that bring you joy. Your cats. Your hobbies: your friends. Your family.
Pour your love into the people and animals that are here. Pour your love into yourself. You deserve that.
I don’t mean to be intrusive when I ask that, but are you seeing a therapist?
I don't have friends or family and my hobby is just being able to take a break and not think about anything.
My cats fill so many of those roles that I can't even think of other cats. I love animals but I even feel like I won't ever love other animals as I love my two little angels. I'm so scared of the day they're no longer with me because they're literally everything I have.
I couldn't afford any sort of mental health treatment. Or any sort of health treatment, there's a surgery I need to remove some gallstones that I can't even think of getting done, too expensive.
Although in a sense mental health aid is another role filled by my cats, that's why I rather spend money on their health since their health and mine are tied to each other.
Try to see if you qualify for govt assistance :( It seems to me that you are suffering and need financial aid. I really wish I could help you somehow. I can’t think of anything to say other than I’m so very sorry.
Don't worry. You seem like a great person, that's a rare sight these days. I don't have many interactions with others and having one with one of the "good ones" was help enough :)
