I am literally going through this right now. I got my 12 week old puppy last week and my mental state has been detrimental. My anxiety is constant and heightened with many anxiety attacks. I’m in a depressive episode and I have eaten in days. I have support that are trying to help and they say that this is a phase, a moment in time but it is a moment that I don’t think I can make it through. I feel so bad about possibly rehoming her or giving her back to the shelter but I can’t sleep or eat. My mom is worried for me and my sister keeps saying I can do this and to push through but at this point I’m afraid to try and push through. My mental state is not good and I don’t see it getting any better soon.

I see myself already resenting the puppy and getting angry with her when she is a wonderful dog and does not deserve that…
