I am trying to understand the healing and acceptance process. I'm still so numb and emotionless. Every time I talk about it, it's like it wasn't me; all factual.
If anyone has any info I can read up on, pls mail me on sugahorse@gmail.com I just want to understand the general process, a vague timeline, how to cope... I cannot get onto the intwrnet much, so I'd really appreciate anyone to copy and paste some info for me I'm doing ok this AM, just feel like a zombie |

It sometimes takes time for things like this to hit us. It's great that you are coping so well.

Had a wobbly this morning, because my bf couldn't be there for me emotionally. He's my rock, the normally strong one. And now...? I'm trying to get some studying done, and have a friend coming round to study with me. May go shopping, want to buy myself a pet (Either 2 goldfish or a bird - not likely - or a chameleon). Any other realistic suggestions as I do live in an apartment.
i think the wheels are slowly coming off, but I see my T tomorrow - a week after the incident

Hang in there, Jackie.
Retail therapy of small proportions for creatures that can share your love is a good idea. When you go to a pet shop its called buyology. Goldfish are awesome. Not the brightest buttons on the planet, but they can cope with their own company for days if you need to go away, and they don't grumble about the cold weather or Eskom power outages. But a chameleon can walk on your shoulder, and a fish just feels funny to hug. Oh, whatever. I tell my fish jokes, and if I imagine hard enough, I can hear them laughing. |

Sounds like a good plan, doing some activities. On the furrier end of things, we live in a small apt. and enjoy our guinea pig very much. They definitely take up more space (especially if housed correctly... ie. a fair bit bigger space than the -expensive!- one sees in the stores) than the other pets you were thinking of. You know of course that it's all I can do right now not to go into the proper care and feeding of them and how to build an inexpensive, easy and properly-sized enclosure.. but I digress.
 Since you are so far ahead in time, maybe you have done your activities already(!) Glad you have a T appointment tomorrow.  Please keep us posted, ok?

Hey there,
Came home with 2 goldfish. Shop had no chameleon's (A bit tricky with government regulations), so I nearly got 2 hedgehogs! But damn pricey and not too cuddly. Wasn;t keen on some Gecko thing the guy was keen to send me hoem with. Rabbits and Guinea pigs were also options, but I wasn't kitted out to come home with one of those, and hadn't discussed it with my bf yet, lol. SO, I write an exam for my BCom this morning; so - I am not prepared. I just have to try. Not keep running away from things. And it's been a 'legal' excuse to be off work. I think I'm feeling ok this morning, so I'm hoping that my T app will in some way manage to evoke some emotions. Then I can go visit my horses. Thanks to all of you; you have been amazing and I've really benefitted from coming back to this thread and reading all your replies.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
