I noticed a lot of people post a photo of pets for their profile photo...how many of you have pets ??? and what are they and what are their names and does having a pet help you de-stress ???
I have 6 cats (all rescue cats)...Pretty...Jake...Gino...Alley...Jewles and Teddy.....and YES...they help me a lot to de-stress. Plus they give unconditional love.

I have a cat, her name is Aaby (that is the proper spelling) I named her after Soren Aaby Kierkegaard. He is the father of existentialism which espouses the idea that we are all alone, truly alone. Any way I found her when she was about two weeks old in 1996 the same month I was first Dx. She has been with me ever since. I love her and she loves me...

I have 2 dogs, Scootie and Bella and 2 cats ( the ex and I are fighting over) Pad and Sir Raven. They are all that I have as far as family goes. Unlike asshole people, they accept and love me unconditionally!

I have a chocolate point siames cat named Lucy and a chocolate lab named Duke. I love them so much and they are my best companions. Lucy is alway lying in my lap or next to me and Duke is always at my feet.They both give me so much joy.

I have a golden named jenny. She's a rescue dog and she was abused for the first three years of her life. She's only recently become less nutty than me.

I have a cat named Poe, as in Edgar Allen. He is almost 4 yrs. old and gives me a reason to get up every morning because he is hungry. Lately he has been peeing in the bathroom sink! Don't know what that's about but do know that sometimes he's as wacky as me! lol.

I just think having a pet is such a blessing....they help me cope with live and give me such joy....sometimes I have to admit...I would rather be with my pets than with most people.

i made this account because i hope this reaches someone who can understand. I feel immense shame and guilt over my past behavior while manic. I have ruined relationships with friends and family members, gotten tattoos that i dont want, done things that make me cringe. The weight of the self hatred gets to be too much sometimes. I feel like a burden. Nobody understands. I hate myself today.
