Am I the only one that is more stressed out when having animals? I'm not even able to find the right medication for all the stress and anxiety I have caring for my indoor cat and my small feral colony of cats. I have always been a depressed person with bad anxiety but it has gotten so bad since dealing with the cats. I have lost any friends I had and family members stay far away from me.
I feel so alone and cry all the time because my group of cats have so many issues and I can't help them. My own indoor cat has so many health issues, she's allergic to just about everything and has IBD. I don't have one feral cat that isn't either scratching all the fur off or have swollen bottom lips. All this stress is getting to me and all I do every night is pray I go to sleep and never wake up.
It is so cold outside and the feral group has bald spots and thinning fur unlike most that are outside should have a nice thick winter coat right now. My indoor cat is scratching her face until it bleeds.
It's just never ending and I just want to stop having constant panic attacks and worrying so much. I would like to be like most people and have animals around that do reduce stress. I want to go back to being happy and smile like I used too. I love these cats but caring for them has made me so miserable.
Sorry, just having a meltdown right now and nobody to talk too.
