I had a good session with my psychologist today and I figured I'd share at least the breakthrough we had.
See I was always a lonely kid, bullied constantly and generally treated like shit, good parents but my mother going through early menopause during early years really didn't help much when I needed help or advice, this continued well into my high school years and I became emotionless, I kind of shut down for awhile.
At some point this cat showed up here and I decided to keep her, she was also pregnant so we made her a little area to have her kitties, it was nice I finally found myself waking up to my emotions more, I had something to genuinely care about at least, I loved those cats, probably to much.
At one point one of them was poisoned, another was attacked and torn apart by dogs that some asshole let loose, I kinda went a bit apeshit after that in trying to protect the rest, I also became a bit to obsessed with them, ultimately I put to much of well being into them and it cost me, I lost my spark for a lot of things, I couldn't really enjoy much of anything purely because of just how much I put myself into those animals.
Caring for pets is all well and good but when that's all you focus on, well you turn that into your sole reason for living, well its hard to muster up the energy to do much of anything when they die, I often wondered why I would sometimes play games and feel depressed, after today I wonder no more, I just don't have that spark in me anymore because of the tragedies I've endured.
Perhaps after now after learning of this I can begin to heal in some capacity.
Why share this hear? Because I want you guys to be careful, don't put of yourself into something that while you might love, is all to fleeting, because eventually you'll be left without it and you'll more empty than usual, a tragedy is bad enough, a tragedy and feeling like nothing matters? Even worse.
