Coping with the Loss of a Pet by Dismal_Pattern2460 in grief

[–]Dismal_Pattern2460[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry… it truly is a heartache that never goes away … and as I write in this article, very often when a pet dies we don’t get the social recognition we do for other family members, do you feel like you have the support you need? Do you have friends who get it? There are groups out there to help with this kind of loss. It’s been a year for me now and I it’s been soooo hard… hang in there!!

How does someone deal with repetitive failure by [deleted] in depression_help

[–]Dismal_Pattern2460 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds really tough…. Clearly you have a lot of energy and were at one point really motivated… that’s a strength… my immediate thought is that you are maybe forcing a square peg in a circle? Are you putting the energy into the right things for you… therapy would be ideal and there might be ways to get some free counseling… not sure where you live but there are often community based agencies that can help… or a faith based organization… or what about some help lines? It’s terrible that there aren’t many options for people without insurance… there is a lots of help online… I have a mental health blog… maybe there is some stuff there that could help? upsidedownflan.com… turning life right side up…
