Trigger warning. Rant. I’m in pain (mentally and some physically too)

...................

Almost everywhere I go, people are talking about their dogs and cats. I like dogs and cats. I’m allergic to them

People say “I wouldn’t be alive if it wasn’t for my cat, and my meds ...”

I’m allergic to meds

People say inane things like “you are responsible for your own happiness”

If only it was so easy.

I do not like this harsh cruel world

On another board I was told “different things work for different people” - re skin allergies.

I know this.

It’s quite scary sometimes how so many people give unsolicted advice.

And I’ve found doctors in this forest irl to be the worst “offenders”

“Bad” paws

“Unpopular” paws

“Mad and sad” paws
