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...
My cat,Sam has diabetes.
When i found out i was devestated.
i was so scared of giving him his insulin.
Afraid i would not be able to do it,afraid i'd give him too much and his blood sugar would drop dangerously low.
Just as i finally got used to giving it to him, (Although when it grows near to insulin time,i still get anxious.) his vet called yesterday and told me he has hypertension.
He will need medication for this of course,and now i am as anxious as i was a couple of months ago when i was learning to give him his insulin.
The med comes in a liquid,which i HOPE will be easier than a pill,but i can still see him not letting me give it to him.
If this is the case,the vet told me there are drops i could put in his ear.(i can still see him not letting me do it though.)
Yesterday i watched some youtube videos about how to give liquid meds to a cat.
All i could find were videos of people using treats as a reward for taking thier medicine.
But,no treats for a diabetic cat.
Now i am what-iffing again.
"What if i give him too much and his blood pressure drops to a dangerous level?"
"What if i can't give it to him period?"
So afraid.
i don't understand why all this has happened to him.
He is such a sweet,loyal,and loving kitty.
He has been my best friend for almost 13 years.
Yes,he's a senior cat.
A senior cat with health problems.
i love him so much.
i'd never let him suffer,but i am not ready to let go.
i desperatly need to cry but i can't.
Sorry for yet another post from me....

I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying. I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there. I think that I will start writing in it again. It's so therapeutic.

First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
Gentle empathy, Silver. I'm never ready to let go of my most trusted friends.
