Mental Health Support

and am also glad we all have each other to share with here.

Animals are a great help. I have a semi feral cat who lives in a shed outdoors who I was able to get spayed through a TNR program. I have it filled with straw so she has a warm space to sleep and I feed and water her everyday. She is not completely tame enough to bring inside but she has come to let me pet her and purrs when I do it. She does not let me pick her up though.

I also have a German Shepherd who is nearly five. He's in the house with me, and though he's not a trained therapy dog he acts like one a lot of times. I tell myself I have to keep battling the anxiety and depression for them because they need me, and for my older sister!

I also listen to audio books and play games on my phone for distraction.
