I am super glad to hear you are feeling a little bit better this evening @CheerBear. I super hope you feel a LOT better in the morning.
I super love the thought of you walking through the shops with a unicorn. Did you feel like everyone was looking at you? If you wander around with a soft toy often enough, you get over that.
The being totally alone in the world thing is definitely tricky. I received the intake form from the peanut practice manager today. On the form I need to list a next of kin. Hopefully they will cope with the fact that I don't have one. Otherwise, I may have to list CheerBear c/o Forum Land.
@Former-Member I have heard of services that are particularly focused on supporting people with mental health issues regarding their pets. It has been on my to-do list for ages to suss them out. It is definitely a big issue. Once when the police were dragging me out of my unit, M ran out the door. I kept asking the police to just let me put him back inside, but they threw me in the back of the police truck. I was totally hysterical. Thankfully one of my neighbours was able to get M and assure me he was safely locked in my unit before I got taken to the hospital. Another time, M was barking and carrying on when the police stormed into the unit and they threatened to shoot him. He was a 7kg terrier! And people wonder why I don't "reach out for support" and why the phrase "to help keep you safe" is a major trigger for me.
