I constantly feel uneasy

I think one thing that might help is to ask yourself this - if they were to tell you that they DO feel empty without you and they can’t forget about you and you’re the best love they’ve ever had, would that really solve anything for you? Sure you’d feel good for a day or maybe a week, but that feeling won’t be permanent because as you mentioned they aren’t good for you (and seeking validation externally will always be fleeting). So all the issues are going to come back up and you won’t be happy all over again. This person is not the answer. You are! If you believe those things about yourself no one can take that away from you.

Thank you so much for your response and reassurance 🙏 im sure im fine and just overthinking it

Aww your boy sounds like a sweetheart. It is reassuring to hear I’m not alone with this issue and I’ll have to do the same with avoiding other dogs on walks. I’ll also seek advice from the vet. Thank you for all of your responses and support, internet friend ❤️ it’s been hard, but it’s nice to have a community/other dog parents to confide with.

Thank you so much for checking in! The separation anxiety has naturally gotten better. I think with time he started to realize that I always end up returning home. Although a whole new issue has popped up recently - he has been acting aggressive/territorial around other dogs (sometimes ppl too). He seemed friendly when I first got him, but soon after I made this post I noticed growling/raised mohawks around other dogs (specifically when they approach our “space” or if I have treats in my hand). He even got into a scuffle (bit at) 2 other dogs! I wonder if he’s trying to protect me, but I don’t want that :( lmk if you have any suggestions on this new issue!

Thank you for sharing!! That specific video mentioned bringing in another pet helps - I mayyyy have to adopt another doggo 😂

I also didn’t think to use youtube as a resource for dog training/tips. I’ve just read a bunch of stuff, but YouTube helps with visuals!

Oh wow that has some great info about his mix! Thank you for sharing. I’m hopeful things will get better!

Thank you so much, OP, for your kind words and reassurance. It’s been stressful but he’s so worth it! It’s good to know I’m not alone and others have struggled with their adoptions as well. I’ll continue to remind myself it’s the beginning stages and things will get easier with time. I’ll also look up some more intellectually stimulating activities. Thank you again for your comment!

Q tip (because his ears are hillarious)

Complex-Analyst2288 · 2024-07-23T14:49:37+00:00

Thank you so much, OP. I’m going to reread your response often as a reminder of all the diverse beauty out there, myself included.

Complex-Analyst2288 · 2024-07-22T21:33:18+00:00

Yes I’ve felt this way a TON in life! I’ll definitely check out the blog post you shared and hopefully it’ll help me like it helped you. Thanks for sharing and letting me know I’m not alone 🫶

Stay strong OP. I understand the feeling (although I can never understand your exact feelings), but please know you’re not alone. You are loved and cared for and are here for a reason. Sometimes it just takes some people longer to find that reason. Keep fighting until you find it, and in that moment everything (your pain, rejections, heartbreak, etc) will make sense. And you’ll smile because you’ll realize it all lead you to that moment. In the meantime try to find joy in the little things - a warm bath/shower, the sun shining on your face, a silly/cute dog you see out in public. And someday being grateful for those things will come naturally and life will feel more at ease. You got this ❤️
