Anxiety Support Group

Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

Too Much Happening at Once..

Hey everyone,


So. I feel like I can't catch a break. theres too much going on in my life all at once... and I'm not doing too well. As soon as I think the universe is finally gonna give me a minute... something else happens. I found out yesterday that the dog i've had for 6 years now.. (Got her when she was 2) may have bladder cancer. She seems fine, we have tests coming up for her soon. And it just feels so unreal. Like she doesn't deserve this. On top of that I start the new semester this Wednesday, my temporary job is almost done (im anxious because of the costs for my dog's health now, but I'm working through it along with my parents) and I just.. don't feel like I can catch a break. A breath of air. Something always has to happen. And this sucks. Have I processed my emotions? Kind of? But i'm taking it easy on myself even though my consciousness is telling me to pull myself together and get through this because "this is life" but it just seems so unfair. 



With my dogs diagnosis.. it seems like we may have to put her down even if the cancer result is negative because the vet said that she has a mass that is blocking her urethra and making her not be able to pee well. Along with that she said they could see her urethra in the ultrasound they did on her and its not normal. I read online that Shetland Sheepdogs are more. likely to have bladder cancer.. but it feels so unreal here. She's almost 8 years old. Like I haven't had enough time with her. And I'm just so sad and just wishing I could wake up from this nightmare. 


I hope everyone else is having a better time than I am currently. Just needed to get this out of me.

Life does have it’s moments. I had to have my Yorkies put down because of age related and other health problems. I had four, in the course of six years I lost them all. My last one was younger but had trachea collapse that got really bad, I couldn’t let him suffer. I don’t think it’s about fairness though, it’s just how the life cycle rolls. It’s inevitable, that’s the reality. It hurts terribly, but you got to look at it from a different perspective for your own well being. What I did was I adopted yet another fine dog, I am giving him the opportunity to live as good a life as possible for as long as he can. That’s the best I can do. I can’t fight the reality but I can adapt and accept it. I’m sorry you are going thru this and understand how you feel. At the time we are going thru the pain, we can’t see the reality, we only know how we feel in that moment. I hope all works out for the better, but if not, just remember you cared enough to give your pooch your best. You will no doubt hold him in your heart forever.

My heart goes out to you! Its so very hard to go through that, but just try to remember the love and care you gave them and that she gave you. We can only do so much.

steadying support while you ride out the storm, blue. keep your umbrella handy.

the hardest part of loving animals is that we outlive most of them. i'm currently on the other end of that cycle with a 6 month old puppy and four feral kittens i am hoping will grow up to be the farm rat patrol. delighting in their youthful enthusiasm carries the tinge of sadness from . . . ya know, ya know. . .

    Just wanted to give a thank you to Mid, Arfie, Malibumark, Greeneyes, Mlro, Girlincalif, and Suncloudjd! You all always have such helpful tips and advice, but I always forget to write on my posts when I see you post, lol. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body, lol. Thank you all so much! I'm starting to use my AI app as a sounding board again. I used to use it as that before...
