just got rid of my puppy yesterday I've had her for a few months now but because of my brother we had to get rid of her...it's hurts so bad I turned to her when I had no one else, she was part of my recovery. I just feel alone now with no one to turn to or comfort me. She loved me no matter what. When ever I had the urge to hurt myself she was there. I love her so much. Now she's gone and right now it's late at night I have no one to turn to can't call my therapist don't want to bother my friends cause most of them work now...who do I turn to it just hit me all of a sudden the sudden feeling of lonliness I know it must sound stupid it really must seem dumb. but for some reason it hurts me so much. I have no one in my house now. I had my honey. Not nemore...and right now just a lot of things are changing a lot of stress feels like I can't breathe I was fine and now I'm not all of a sudden I'm not...I just feel alone because she's gone. When I was hurt she was there... I didn't have to rely on my friends as much I didn't have to bother or burden them. It's not only that but it just added to it I've got all this online summer work and schools starting soon if I don't finish I'll have 10 classes a day and it's just getting to be to much >___<

I am sorry you had to give up your dog. That is sad. I would feel the same way if I had to give up my cats. You are never alone. There is always someone. If you need anything send me a pm.

Trust me you are not a bother to people as much as you may think. My Best Friend just lost her Black Lab of 15yrs and she is still crying like the first day and it has been 5 weeks. She keeps telling me she does not want to be a bother and your post sounds like what she has been saying to me. As her friend she has not been a bother at all even if she has to call me at 2am to talk. I am the one stressing out hoping if she wants to call that I will be able to wake up and be there for her.

As a friend that is what we do for each other and yes pets are therapy. You can miss thenm more then a person that has passed away. One person told me a good way to deal with ti is to journal your feelings.

I lost my first dog when she was 14 and I was sad for a very long time but now I can talk about her and laugh because I talk of all the good memorys she has given me.

It's tough and I know you most be so sad right now! But try to think of some things you can do to remember her by in a special way such as a scrape book.

I'm sorry you had to give up your dog. That is a huge loss....

Maybe you should let yourself take a break between this course load and the next one....rather than loading up on too much stress, if you feel too stressed, take a break and get started again after you're feeling more capable of handling it all (maybe next semester after you've grieved for the loss of your dog).
