Hello ac: I see this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to PsychCentral! I hope you find the time you spend here to be of benefit.

From what you wrote, it sounds as though you've experienced quite a few life changes recently. Perhaps the cat is just one too many at the moment... kind-of the straw that broke the camel's back, as the saying goes. Here are links to some articles from PsychCentral's archives that may be of some interest:

I don't know, of course, if you're here simply seeking advice with regard to this particular concern or if you plan to continue posting. However, should you be planning to continue on (we hope you do)... may I suggest you introduce yourself over on PC's New Member Introductions forum? Here's a link:
