Open Forum: I Just Need A Minute

August 20, 2021 by tamaratattles 70 Comments

Y’all. I am really trying but my depression is really bad at the moment. Banjo, the only dog who has ever rescued me is unwell  and that is where my attention has to go. We all have life issues. I hope you can deal without my recaps for a bit. I will try to get back with more recaps soon. But right now I just need a moment. My focus is on my dog. And spending as much time with him as I can. I hope you will all stick around.  But I need to be with him. And I may be able to recap again soon. But, I just need the weekend to get my shit together. Please talk amongst yourselves. I love you all. I am fine. I do not want to talk about it. I will be back to normal soon.

 

I am fine I just need a bit of space. I’m sleeping for like many hours a day. I am not responding to my Source. I’m a bit shut down about work stuff. So if you could still keep coming and reading the site and supporting it that would help A LOT.  I’ll get it together soonish.

      Animals are special. Banjo is your special pal….you love for him is evident and that’s why you feel the ick of depression. It’s your body trying to help you (in a twisted way). Sleep, take walks, cry, it’s ok to love and it’s hard when an animal is sick/old etc. our pain is ours, he is ok, his brain love you, he’s not complicated like humans.

      I’ll even click all the rando recaps I don’t care for….honestly, I like you and the writing style. Be as well as you can, my friend. You have lots of virtual hugs.

    Hi, been in your shoes too many times and the only thing that kept me sane is this sentence… “We have to suffer now so they don’t have to anymore.” I still felt like my heart was ripped out but it made sense to me. I prefer animals to people. They are angels sent to us from God. We love them, they CURE us!! Prayers for you and Banjo!

    Thanks for all the love you guys. Banjo is actually doing better than I am, but we will be out of predinose soon and that is what helps him to walk. He’s still eating and drinking, but has to go when he has to go so there are lots of accidents. I’ll be back on Sunday night to recap.

    I appreciate you all so much, but I am not answering the phone that rings from morning to midnight. We are both sleeping a lot and we are getting used to the constant ringing at this point. We are both fine. I’m just trying to spend time with him while I have it. Thank you for all of your kind offers. But I’ve got this. We are good over here.

      Thanks so much, Dana. We are okay for now. He’s not in pain. He’s actually kind of rebounding. I am trying to be here for him. That is all. I’m just making the most out of the time we have left. He’s still eating and drinking and able to go out in the yard. I just need to be here for him right now. Maybe we have a few more months. But I think if I can’t get him more prednisone he won’t be able to walk for much longer.
