TW Functional depression, suicidalityWell, I’ve reported the trees in case they fuck up my house. Now to wait and see if I’m once more subjected to crazy aggressive behaviour in retaliation 😔

Melbcat is medicated and fed and resting her sore little self. She’s due her arthritis shot soon. I’m begging for her to perk up because this is scaring me.

Life really kind of sucks and it feels permanent. I can’t even do my hobbies despite the desire to. It’s not even living. All I ever seem to do is struggle and suffer.

Watching someone so important to you as they get closer to the inevitable is the absolute toughest thing. Sending kindness and grace down the interwebs. Lean into the cuddles and the good bits. We are here for you.

Thanks. She’s genuinely like my child so it’s really hard to think about. I don’t think she’s there yet as she’s still walking to her bowls and eating but she’s not her usual self.
