@Dreamy very much agree with you. would be nice if there was a rule that every event/gathering required at least one animal to be present for emotional support 🐶

@rav3n trying hard to not draw attention to myself but I've got massive pain going through my chest on both sides, almost like it's all cramped up😞.

nooo chest pains sounds horrible @Dreamy are you able to hide somewhere like the bathroom to get some deep breaths in and ground yourself?

@rav3n i already did that for a bit. But can't stay in there forever. Why do I always fail at these things, I always let everyone down.

@Dreamy I know that feeling very well, but please keep hanging on.. I know, the world is tough and cruel towards us, that’s what being in such an awesome community like these forums are for, to connect and unite with one another and support each other through our struggles ❤️
Your existence in this world and even here in the forums means a whole lot to us, and you’re such an amazing and wonderful person. We are all here for you. ❤️

Thankyou @Blackcloud ❤️. It's just been a tough time lately and it's all hitting hard. Taking things minutes by minute, trying to pull myself through the darkness.

@rav3n off topic, but the image you’ve attached reminds me of my online friend saying to me “you can do anything” with a Pepe (Pepe frog) punching gif on it. Love it ❤️
