hey illegal toilet
last year i was you...what got me thru everything was helping with my dog rescue. i knew i had to get thru my commitments i had made with them. the hounds needed me to show up as well as the people. not a whole lot else mattered.
i don't work but i do have to count every penny as i am on a disability pension...so i get the feelings of watching every penny.
i made sure i did my trips to the dr's, my t & the stuff for the dogs. if i felt up to it i would go & hike so i could take some photo's...but there were many days it was hard to even think about doing that.
it helped having the dogs & knowing i had them depending on me...because i had to drive & pick them up or run them places, pick up food etc..& then the rescue would pay for gas/time...it wasn't much but it helped.plus it got me out of the house & out in the real world some.
i think ya do what you can do...it took some time for me to climb back out of my hole & be able to function again...now i still do the runs, fostering, etc but i am also able to much more.
it sucks..do what you are able to...some days it will be more than others...i wish you the best...it is hard...
