@The Albatross, I would never choose to stop seeing her voluntarily. It took a very long time to find someone like her.

@NovemberStar, Nylah squeaks more than meows too. She is very vocal like Tai was. @SweetLullaby, "dog" is Chelsea she's a 10 or 11 year old lab I rescued in January. Nylah just finished licking my eyelids after eating her dinner.

@The Albatross, thank you. My username was after my cat that I just lost Tai. Nylah is such a lover, and what better way to confuse a kitten than by calling him Moose.@macbeth, I think I like my pets (and other people's pets) more than I like people. Pets don't betray you, love you...

Getting her today instantly helped my suicidal thoughts lessen, I feel more present, my heart hurts a little less (but more at the same time - I miss my little dude so much). I bring Nylah with me on Monday to meet Moose (the little male kitten who's a runt), as long as they get along and I feel...

So some of you know that I had to put my cat down on Wednesday night. I will link the thread about what happened below. But in that thread I was contemplating adopting a kitten to help fill that void...

My T is back from vacation, I made it the whole time without emailing her. I know people here suggested I email her anyways based on all the things that were happening even before my cat was attacked and had to be put down. Even though I wanted to talk to her really badly at certain points, I...

I feel like a horrible human being for feeling this way. But my heart hurts so much, and feels so empty without my cuddle buddy. I contacted the rescue that associates with my vet (many volunteers from the rescue know me), and I'm looking at adopting a male kitten. They contacted me moments ago...

Honestly the only thing I could possibly wish for is to have my little man back. I raised him from 4 weeks of age, he was only 5.5 years old and had zero health issues. He was a one of a kind cat, he acted more like a dog than a cat sometimes. Reality still hasn't really set in yet, I've been...

@arfie, I'm a dog person too. My dog and my cat slept together all the time. My dog let him steal her food and take her big bed.

If you aren't a pet person you won't get this. But tonight my housemate text me to say that my cat had slipped upstairs when they came into the house and they didn't notice. She said the dogs really scared him, but she picked him up and took him back downstairs and stayed with him until he...

@SweetLullaby, I will have to watch out for that feeling in relation to when I take the Cipralex. @Justmehere and @TimeToHeal, glad the hangover feeling got better for you guys. I will try to tough it out in hopes it eases up in the next week.

The psych doctor just upped my dose of Cipralex to 20mg, I've been on this dose before but that was before I overdosed. He also started me on 100mg of Trazodone for sleep. The Trazodone does help with sleep, it makes me tired so I can fall asleep, and I'm not waking up multiple times through the...

Not sure where to put this because it touches on a few different things, but the main issue is being let down by my new social worker. Some of you know that my T has been on vacation, she's back next week and I see her Thursday. While she's been gone I was introduced to a new social worker (one...

@Echo, I'm unable to contact the lady from the hospital because I don't have her contact information. She has mine, but I don't have hers. Not unpacked yet. It's going to take some time. The animals are all settled in now.

@Ryn, the lady called me once after I left the hospital but I haven't heard from her since. I wish she would have stayed in contact with me. @Echo, no my T is still gone for another week and a bit.

Just a brief low down on what's going on in case you haven't seen my other posts. I reported to recent incidents to the police from this past month (not sexual assault this time - only physical). This past week on Tuesday I had a video interview with them, which I went into thinking that it was...

Yes. Thank you. My feelings exactly, I wish the police understood this - and additionally for me it is about feeling safe. A sentence doesn't keep you safe long term, it doesn't stop the hurt. Knowing you're safe and believed does wonders though.

I was told that in my province sentences tend to only run 3 to 6 months (social worker told me). Not that I will ever know from experiencing it in my own assault cases.

I've experienced it a few times at my T's office, she brought me a garbage bag to puke in if it got that far. But for me I was able to control it myself and breathe through it although I felt on the verge of puking for hours after. My T was really nice about it, she said that sometimes that...

@greenleaf, I don't live in the UK - but I guess the issues are similar everywhere in the world. I'm sure they would love new toys, but they are spoiled enough. The cat is content to explore the new areas, my dog loves that she has a backyard and two new playmates now. @Echo, I hate to assume...

@Echo, they only took his DNA right before Easter I believe, so it actually hasn't been that long - only a few weeks. They haven't given me anything to help me sleep. I haven't been able to get in to see my psych doctor because his secretary won't return my phone calls to book an appointment...

@Echo, they did provide a timescale of sorts... just that it will take a few months before they even get to it to test the two samples. I talked to the social worker on the phone at lunch and she asked how did last night, how much sleep I got, if I had nightmares. She asked me to rate how...

@Echo, I'm doubting myself so much now. What if the DNA results come back that it wasn't him? That it was someone else and I had another flashback? They know they were able to collect DNA but now I have to wait until they test it. They aren't saying it will take months to test it, just that it...

@greenleaf, they've labelled me as someone who makes false accusations. They said they don't deny that something must have happened at least when I was younger, but they think that I just continue to "make up" new incidents to try and see justice for something that happened in the past. They...

@greenleaf, this is a new police department than I dealt with before. I honestly felt like they really tried their best and worked hard to help me. No they haven't provided me with any photographic evidence. There was none that showed the areas I was in. I don't feel like they were being lazy at...
