I feel so overwhelmed and guilty πŸ˜”

How do you deal with guilt πŸ˜”? Especially when it involves your furry friend. I would advise against looking up the symptoms  on google that your furry friend is exhibiting. Doing so can certainly cause more worry than necessary. Especially if you are an excessive worrier or have a lot of anxiety.

Also, when you have chronic pain, stress seems to make things a lot worse and the pain a lot stronger.

    I have a cat tree upstairs that overlooks the driveway. I always feel badly if one of the cats is watching when I leave.

      How many kitties 😸 do you have πŸ˜€ I haven’t felt like writing the last few days. I feel bad about not recognizing some possible symptoms that Max has had. But he is going to the vet Friday. Hopefully he will be fine. I do the best I can.

        We have 5. Three of them moved in when my daughter left her abusive husband and came back home with her two toddlers. The cats all know I’m a pushover. Good luck with the vet! And don’t worry about not writing when you’re not up to it. You have to take care of yourself first. Then Max

    Thank you for subscribing to me. I see your photo. I have a male cat too. His name is Ephraim. Ephraim is Joseph’s son in the Holy Bible. Ephraim was a city in the Holy Bible. Tell me how your cat got his name. I can’t wait to hear from you again because I love talking about other people’s cats.

        Ephraim is my baby boy because he is my first cat that I got from the pound, he scratches me, he bites me, he plays with me, I don’t love rough play from animals, animals are so cute, I love animals, and I have two dogs at home too.

        Hi Jessica oh that’s such a sweet thing about rescuing your kitty from the pound. How old is the cat. What does he look like? I have never had dogs myself. I have been reading some of your posts. I am 48. how old are you.

        My baby boy is a big boy, now. He is still my baby. He is my buddy. Ephraim is a good boy, but he likes to play with me like I am a cat. I hate playing rough with animals. He is a Tuxedo cat. Dogs are difficult sometimes when they kill every animal that is in the yard. I hope you have a good weekend.

    Stoicism helps me because it reminds me to accept things as they are and that worrying doesn’t change anything. Stoic exercises like negative visualisation are also really helpful for some but they’re not everyone’s cup of tea since it can end up making some people feel worse. I find them pretty helpful though.

        You’re most welcome and that’s really interesting, I think Stoicism has gained a bit more popularity these days which is great. It can be really helpful 😊
