    I’m not okay. My 14 year old doggy just died in my arms on Friday. She was my little best friend, had her since she was 3 months old when we adopted her from a shelter. My old girl was tough as nails, got diabetes the beginning of 2021, gradually went blind. I took care of her and now I don’t know what to do with myself. I’m a little darker than usual on the inside now. I miss her.

      Hey friend, I know this doesn’t exactly help, but it will get better eventually. I lost my void of 19 years a few of years ago, and that was harder than losing blood family.

      If you can stomach it, (and if not, wait for the initial hurt to pass then) try to have pictures of your girl or stuff you associate with her around you. It took me close to two years to come to terms with losing my old girl, but I can finally do this without immediately bursting into tears, and I’m so much happier now that I can. It’s only the paw imprint, but it means a lot more to me.

      Take care, and I hope you’re doing well

    I’m really angry. My oldest son’s school sent me an email this afternoon lecturing me on his attendance and how it affects his grades and how it makes the school look bad, etc…

    We had a few weeks off earlier this year when my grandfather and my mother-in-law died (both suddenly and unexpectedly) within two weeks of each other.

    My younger son’s school offered assistance, counselling and anything else that they could think of to offer. They were very supportive. My older son’s school has just berated us for grieving and supporting each other, our friends and our family. I’m so fucking angry. They know that bereavement was the reason for his absence. Cunts.

    Today I’m anxious, exhausted, and struggling with my self-worth. Honestly might just go to bed early and try to sleep it off

    Stagnation on my personal goals is a blight on my mood, but I’m otherwise okay. 75% okay is pretty good for me.

    Personally I’m alright. Trying to not get too affected by the world falling apart. I have mixed feelings about my relationship with my gf. Work is going pretty well but I kinda feel like my career is stagnating. Could be better, could be a lot worse.

    Not good. Pretty sure I’ve lost my social circle. It’s my fault, for the most part. I think I’m better off alone, as far as having friends goes. I still have my son, who lives with me, so I’m not totally alone. As long as I have him, that’s all I need.

    I asked for the dose of one of my meds to be increased. We’ll see if that will help things at all. Probably not. It would be nice to not really feel things, or at least feel them less. Like tranquilized in a way.
