If having the letter would make you feel safer or less stressed about the future, then it could be worth asking for it. But if it feels overwhelming, it’s perfectly okay to wait or think about it a bit longer. You’ve clearly been thoughtful and self-aware about your decisions, and I hope you can give yourself some credit for that. The most important thing is that the choice feels right for you and helps you feel best supported, there is no wrong choice here. We hear you and are here to hold space for you and support you as you navigate this.
Thank you @Ech0, I had a lot of anxious energy going into the appointment. I didn’t get a lot of rest after the appointment but everything did go smoothly and I clicked with the person I met with.
Always appreciate you @Ech0 , I hope you're
ok ❤️
You’re not ungrateful for feeling this way and feeling hurt about what you wish you had received doesn’t make you wrong or selfish at all. It just means you have a heart that longs to be understood and shows how deeply you care and how much you want to feel close and connected. You deserve that kind of warmth and care just as much as anyone else.
You deserve to feel noticed, wanted, and valued. Even if the ones closest to you don’t show it in the way you need right now, that doesn’t change your worth or the fact that you bring so much value just by existing and being you. Even when it feels lonely, you’re not alone here and you are surrounded by people who care and are listening. You don’t have to hold all of this by yourself or figure it out on your own. We’re here for you, we’re listening, and you matter to us.
Aw I'm sorry you feel that way @eylah
You are so much more than these feelings, even if right now they feel like they’re taking over. You make a difference just by being you. The world is better with you in it, even if it’s hard to see that in this moment. People feel calmer, lighter, or simply more seen because you exist.
It’s okay to let yourself cry, to feel tired, to feel overwhelmed. You don’t have to hide it or push it away. Sometimes just allowing yourself to be is the bravest thing you can do. And even in these hard moments, you are growing, you are learning, and you are moving forward.
We are here for you, we care about you, and we believe in you. You are more than enough just as you are.
fine but numb
Aw I'm glad you're feeling better - please remember to take good care of yourself, you deserve it
Also this is off topic but @Nathan I'm really glad to see that duck again - every time I see it it looks like it's staring at me and makes me laugh 😂
I'm doing fine @Nemuritai, how are you doing?
I also completely agree with you that I like seeing @Nathan's previous pfp picture of the duck with a judgmental stare instead of that fat ass dictator.
I'm glad to hear that - I'm doing okay as well, thank you
I am so sorry, I can’t imagine how hard it must feel to go through a breakup and on top of that, to say goodbye to Teddy, who meant so much to you. Every photo you’ve shared shows just how loved he was and I can understand how special your bond is. Every memory, every photo, every little moment with him mattered, and they will continue to matter because the love you share with Teddy is real and beautiful.
You do not have to go through this alone. If you ever wish to share more stories about Teddy, talk about the moments you miss, or just sit quietly with your feelings, we are here to listen and support you with care and understanding. It’s okay to let it hurt, and it’s okay to take your time. Give yourself all the kindness, comfort, and patience you need in this moment.
I hope you can feel, even a little, the warmth of knowing that your sadness is seen and understood. I am sure Teddy was grateful to be surrounded by your affection and it made his life brighter and happier. Let yourself take all the time you need to think and remember because those memories are everlasting.
Teddy will always be keeping you company in a little piece of your heart, and that love will stay with you forever.
I'm genuinely so sorry to hear that, that must be really upsetting. Leaving both your boyfriend and teddy is a lot to handle all at once, and it makes sense you'd feel sad. I just want to remind you that everything you're feeling right now is completely valid, and it's okay to feel hurt.
Teddy truly is a special dog and I could tell you really loved him. To echo what @Ech0 said, teddy will always be with you in a way, in your heart and memories if not physically, and that will never change. I'm here for you if you ever need to talk or get anything off your chest, always. Sending you the biggest bear hug
It’s normal to not know what you want to be in life - knowing this doesn’t make it feel any less overwhelming but we are all here for you as you figure out what you want / need. And that absolutely isn’t something you have to decide overnight, you have time.
