Hello everyone

[dlewin]

Hi my name is Dee I suffer from depression bipolar and anxiety disorder. I joined because i am having trouble forgiving my self. my cat got hit by a car and died. :hissyfit: I keep blaming myself and I know its not my fault but my mind does not thing that way.

I am taking it really hard sleeping all the time and not eating much. I wrote it down what happened and it helped a bit but I think I just need to talk to someone about it. no one in my family wants to talk about it and that's whats hurting me. I always connected to animals more then humans. I breed birds for a hobby as i am on disability.

I am mom to two daughters one lives with me and the other was adopted out. I have a wonderful husband but he does not want to talk about it either as he is having a hard time to with it. I am the one who found him so that's why i think I'm taking it so bad. I just want to get along with my life as I have baby birds to take care of 4 new baby cockatiels.

anyway nice to meet you all and I hope to get to know you all.

Hi D,

Welcome to psychlinks. And I'm really sorry for your loss. I'll apologize ahead of time - I'm a real animal lover and I'm not good at expressing myself. But I do understand your grief...

I hope that you can find the support you need on Psychlinks - it's been a real sanctuary for me.

For tonight, I'll express my condolences through :flowers:

Hello Dee, and welcome to the fold.

I'm so sorry to hear what happened! It sounds like we have something in common; I'm closer with my feline friends than with most people. It breaks my heart to lose one of my babies-- you have my total sympathy.

I'm glad that you do realize that it's not your fault, and I also understand that it can be difficult for your head to get that point across to your heart. Feel free to lean on me and the rest of us here at the forum while you're feeling badly!

Take care,
Charity

...He's beautiful Dee. And I'll echo what Charity's already said - it wasn't your fault....I appreciate that there isn't anything I can say to make you feel better. there are a number of animal lovers on this site. I doubt that any of us would fault you in any way- but we would reach out and extend our warmest hugs to you....

Hi Dee,

Welcome to Psychlinks.

I'm sorry about your cat. The loss of a pet is never easy, no matter what the circumstances are. I hope in time you will be able to think of him and smile.

Hi D,
Welcome to this site! I am saddened to hear about your baby kitty. I have 2 cats and they are my babies. I can't imagine losing one of them. They are so important to me, so my thoughts are with you.
I hope that you find the support and comfort on this site that I have.
It isn't your fault, what happened, but it doesn't make the lose any easier to cope with.
Take care,
Simplyred.

Hi Dee,

I'm so very sorry to read of the loss of your cat. And I do understand how you feel as it is almost a year since my dog of 15 years, that was born here with us, was run over in my driveway and killed instantly.

I also felt like it was my fault as well.

It is always easy to blame ourselves when something like this happens. And even though as you said, your mind knows that it wasn't, it is your heart that needs to heal to know that you could not have done anything to prevent it.

As someone else stated above, remember the great times that you shared with your kitty, it helps. I'm glad that you posted a photo.

Hi Dee. Welcome to a very wonderful family. I am sorry to hear about your cat. I lost my dog last October, and I swear, I still listen for her to bark when I open the door. I understand your feelings. They become family, not just pets. Something that helped me, and it will sound corny, but, I lit a candle for her that terrible day, and I still talk to her, tell her about my day, and what the kids have been up to and that we miss her something fierce. I truly believe that they may be gone in the tangible sense, but they stay with us, and that gives me comfort.
Please know I am thinking of you and sending bunches of hugs your way.
