Not sure if this is in the right section, but here goes.
I made a post last September about my cat's passing, and despite it being over a year later, I still can't seem to move on and get over her passing. To add more to the problem, I've been unbearably longing to get a kitten, but can't due to certain circumstances. My cat greatly helped with my depression, but without my cat (or a cat) I feel more lonely, and feel as if I don't have much of a purpose anymore to carry on while enduring my illness. I miss her, every day. And sometimes I would even have dreams about cats or getting another cat. I don't think I'll be able to get a kitten any time soon. I can understand why I'm not able to, but because of my illness, the selfish part of me wishes I wouldn't have to sacrifice my needs for someone else's. It really hurts on some days so much, and I wish my family could understand that.
