- In NO way am I trying to downplay what might be regrets on your part, or real worries... as you will need to "sit down with yourself" (with your kitty nearby) to figure out if you are ready for giving your kitty a forever home.
But please know that ANY time a person has just even 2-3 nights of very little sleep, it can really make you feel anxious and worried and edgy. Some people can't even get along well with just one night of tossing and turning and sleeplessness... their brain and heart goes "haywire". A lot of your anxiousness may just be because of lack of sleep, or not letting yourself relax.
If there is any way you can set aside time in the coming week to do breathing exercises, 15 minutes here and there of calming thoughts and trusting thoughts, you might feel more centered. AND YOU NEED SOME SOLID SLEEP! I personally believe that it is in dreaming time (REM sleep) that our brains work out what most worries and hinders us. We grapple with problems and figure out our heart's goals during dream sleeping. And you need several hours to really get that during the nighttime.
