There was a girl whom I loved with all my heart. So much so that I made plans for our lives and changed my career towards that direction. But unfortunately it did not workout and she left me. I don't want to mention why because I respect her privacy. The pain was unbelievable. It felt like my whole world was crushed. I literally did not have a reason to wake up or do anything in my life. For the next 6 month I mental and physical health was in shambles.
Then my friend told me that his German spitz has given birth to 4 puppies and would I like to have one. He did not have the space and he was giving them away. I was not sure but I went to his to check them out. A little fur ball came to me as I entered his apartment and started sniffing me. He followed me through out the whole time. She chose me. I did not choose her. I took her home with me.
Honestly, she saved my life. She saved me from myself. All I am, my excellent results in the University, my excellent physical condition is completely because of her. She made me happy. Everything just followed.
Her name is 'Pushy Pushy' because she rubs her nose on my chest everyday on the couch before she falls asleep in my arms.
Dog is man's best friend. This is God's honest truth.

Been diagnosed with GAD, Severe Depression, and PTSD. I currently live with my mom and pay all of my bills on time and sometimes early. I currently struggle with finding employment despite going back to school to get an education. Because I can't find work for what I went to school for I do DoorDash to pay for everything. I can not do manual labor anymore because of my joint condition and causes me chronic pain. I just really want a pet so I don't feel so lonely anymore and that it doesn't feel like its me against the world. I would love to talk with my dog and not feel like they're judging me for what I did or had to go through. I hate being stuck in my own head focusing on the negatives that is going on in my life.

my papa said that when we get our new house, we will adopt a dog! hes not a rlly big fan of dogs, or any animal in general, so this means a lot to me. my mental health isnt at its best rn, aswell my physical health. im pretty sure my papa knows that, and he doesnt yell at me as much as he used to. ofc, he still disciplines me, but he used to yell at me for the smallest things. and now he doesnt, which makes me super happy. idk which breed i want yet, my little bro wants a pug, and my baby sister wants a poodle. i want a german sheppard, even a maltese would be fine. anyway, im super excited to get a dog!

I watched this, and I bought a dog. For 5 months I neglected that dog, who I loved more than anything, but not enough to feed it. I was straight up too depressed to take care of him.
I was too depressed to feed him regularly, or get up to buy food for them.
He was amazing, but I didn't feel any less lonely.
To this day I'm ashamed of how I treated that boy.
I sent him to a farm. So he's happier than any day I could ever give him.
I'm sorry for what I've done.

Um. I need an answer for this.
I can feel the emotions of almost everything that has a soul, an that includes animals.
But I have been detecting less happiness in both my dog and my cat.
Instead, I feel some type of despair.
And it's not me because I have felt the happiness of one dog my dad adopted and it has the happiness higher.
I fear that maybe I had made my pets fall into despair accidentally.

fun fact: Gold fish have crap memory so talking to it about your feelings and expecting it to listen and remember is like driving around for five minutes with someone in the car and then hoping they paid enough attention to drive them selves around with out getting pulled over or getting in a car crash

hey! Dont know if youll reply for this; but I struggle with anxiety and depression. My house isnt so big that I can have a dog because our garden is quite small; and wouldnt be fair for it!
My dad is unfortunately allergic to cats, so thats a no go.
Do you have any small pet ideas?

I have been researching many cultures/systems/religions for a few years now and I am noticing the more spiritually advanced among them see the need for pets/animals and possession of them to be a sign of mental health issues. As it perpetuates the feelings of attachment

I adopted a senior cat a few weeks ago. She's already brought structure and a reason to get out of bed to my day. Senior cats are amazingly patient and wise creatures. She loves her food, her sock of nip, her window view, and chin scratches. I love her a lot.

I have 4 parakeets, I try my best to connect with them but I don't think they trust me enough yet. It took 2 years to finally get the main parakeet (the alpha) to eat seeds from my hand, 2 years because I didn't try to interact with them enough.

Pets also help to keep you happy and smiling.
Pets (often cats and dogs) are super silly and unintentionally funny. Just seeing them roll on the floor or scratch the wall can keep you laughing.
My dog is definitely my happy pill!

Tbh my dog is sole reason why I didnt kill myself when I was very depressed and suicidal. Even though he has people who would take good care of him, I couldnt imagine just leaving and him not being able to understand what happened.

After I moved away, I've been doing great at my job. However, outside of work, I feel like I might be mildly depressed. I find it harder to shower and brush my teeth regularly. I'm wondering if it's because I don't have a cat anymore.

As someone that has suffered with depression anxiety for the longest time, pets really have eased my symptoms and I appreciate the love they show me. They kinda give me the will to continue on no matter how hopeless i get

My dog died from cancer and old age last summer in June 2020, and I still miss him. But if he wants me to be happy, then I'll try to get a new pet and take good care of it.
