I still and probably will have my not so strong days for the rest of my life but as always, it all could of been a lot fucking worse. I mean it was pretty bad but like....you get it.
So happy to hear from you @JulieLynn , You sound like you're doing great and being really strong with your boundaries and we love to hear that things are on an upswing
And I just want you all to know that I see your posts and I'm always sending good vibes your way in spirit. I just get quiet when shit is hitting the fan.
Idk where else to post about this but my parents have to put their dog down tomorrow and I’m not taking it so well. He’s 9 years old and I still lived with my parents for the first few years of his life and intermittently here and there when I had to move back home throughout the years due to my addiction problems. He had to have a kidney removed last year but had been doing great until last week he started drinking a lot of water and peeing all over the house, they took him to the vet Monday and his tests weren’t looking good I guess and after an X-ray or whatever today they must have found something bad, idk all the details yet but I’m gonna go over there tonight and spend a while with him for the last time. You guys have no idea this is the friendliest most cuddly dog of all time he’s a labradoodle and I know there’s never ever going to be another dog like him. I’ve been through this four times now in my life with family dogs having to be put down and each one is harder than the last to swallow, I’ve been a huge huge huge lover of animals my entire life and that’s only grown stronger through adulthood where I could never ever imagine a life without animals in it. This dog brought me so much joy and comfort throughout the absolute worst moments in my life and it will truly never be the same with him gone. Going to spend a good long while at my parents house tonight hanging out with him one last time. this is me and Percy about a month ago
Catching up on this thread but want to second this. I started taking Zoloft about a year ago and I can’t believe how well it’s worked. Of course it didn’t do it alone I had to put in the work too and go to regularly therapy and really answer some extremely hard questions about who I am and who I want to be but the zoloft help me face my reality in a way I’ve never been able to before and move on from my past that was eternally haunting me.
So sorry to hear this Jake. And as someone who has a black labradoodle who turns 8 in a few weeks, this hits so close to home. many, many years ago I made a comment to some friends like, “honestly, the only reason I wake up and keep going through the motions is because I’d be so sad to leave Tucker alone or have Tucker think I was gone and mad at him or something. Literally a dog is what keeps me kind of alive most days”. Tucker was a goldendoodle and the first dog I ever had and a few years later we got Stanley, the gentleman below. Remember all the good times you have had with Percy! There will be good days, bad days, and downright awful days and moments for the rest of your life with missing him but that’s how it goes and I always like to personally think any animal that passes is in the absolute best state of mind and having the greatest time ever. Helps a little.
Thank you so much we had to say goodbye to our 15 year old malti poo a few years ago so I like to imagine they’ll be reunited and he’ll get to meet our golden retriever we had before him and they’ll be happy together lol The hardest part is having to face the fact my cat is going to pass on one day and while that’s way down the road it still upsets me
I'm so sorry as well; I know I'm gonna be crushed when I lose my cat. I've never really lost a pet that way, my parents were shitty pet owners and always had some excuse to give our animals away after a while. I'm never gonna do that.
Been nearly a year since we had to put our cat down and I don’t think I’ve gotten through that yet emotionally.
People on this site need to pull out their birth certificates and remind themselves HOW OLD THEY FUCKING ARE. this isn't AP.net 2005. Also, saying shit like "now he won't get to seem me call him a fucking loser" is probably the most disgusting shit i've ever seen. I'm so mad right now after reading that. You don't say that to someone who is probably going through a really really reaaallllyyyy difficult time in their life right now. fuck this place sometimes.
I honestly don't have time to read every page of a fucking thread when I'm busy with my actual life and job and mental health. maybe be a grown up and message him and simply say "hey man, that was kinda not cool" and TALK ABOUT IT. Saying what you said knowing he has you blocked was kind of a dick move. why so you'd get a like or a laugh?
Please don't' speak to me like I'm a moron, thanks. I get it, ok? I just went back and saw it. 1. you're right, its not ok to joke about that, ever. 2. people say shit without thinking or whatever when they are not really doing so hot mentally 3. next time i'll either just keep my mouth shut when i see something like that again or i'll go back and read whatever was said. (big mistake not doing so) So, I'm sorry for ranting about that situation here or at all actually.
It was actually about the fall out boy lyrics. I don’t expect someone like you to understand, well, anything.
Oh. In your brain, words are the actual people. Interesting. Complete nonsense. But that’s interesting for you.
I know this wasn’t the intention, but don’t bring drama from another thread in here. This thread is supposed to be a safe place.
Well, I didn’t bring it up. I made one dumb joke and it was okay for this thread to not be safe for me anymore. Cool.
I am aware. My post is questioning the timing of your post. When I was being talked about, nothing. When I reply, let’s shut it down. Whatever. I’ll leave.
