HI. I’m new here. I don’t really know how to open up just yet. The only thing keeping me fro killing myself, I’ll be honest, is my dog. My depression is a daily thing. I hate myself. I don’t believe it when someone compliments me. I’m tired. Of everything. I wish the ground could swallow me up. I don’t know what to do anymore. No one understands.

hi z.m… I understand how important your dog is. If I had a dog, I would probably be feeling the exact same way. A lot of us are struggling with some of the same situations that you’re struggling with. Like ellachristina said, we’re here when you’re ready to talk. You’ll find good listeners and people will help the best they can.
thanks
I certainly understand – I have 4 dogs that give me purpose … they seem to be the only sane and rational thing. although, I would say that if someone compliments you without ulterior motives, take at face value
all the best,
dog’s dawg
my dog loves me unconditionally. The nice thing is, he scares people away. He’s huge. I pitbull mastiff mix. He is grateful for everything I give to him. Doesn’t ask for what i don’t have or can’t give.
They don’t judge either and they ALWAYS forgive if you make a mistake. Several people on this site know me … I take in handicapped/damaged dogs and try to make them adoptable … I lost two last month one to severe illness the other to very old age (I had both put down – never an easy chore) … but the rescue sent me two new ones … both victims of a hoarder and heart worm positive so, they are my current mission. One is loving all the attention … the other is still fearful but he trusts me a wee little more each day … still can’t get him to eat out of my hand … like what dog wouldn’t take chicken?!? He’s one of the hardest cases I’ve ever had … most that I get are blind or deaf or are recovering from an injury but are generally sound mentally.
One of the guys I lost was mister Boo – an American Bulldog – I have a thread with a picture on here somewhere – just do a post search for “dawg” or “Mister Boo” 😉
psyke dawg
Gotta love dogs…
