So I get it I'm down. Victoria's mad at me for ruining a homeless person's life. She won't come out of her room, even before this. She spent a ton of money and has none left for her bills. She's supposed to be searching for a job but isn't. I feel taken advantage of without being part of her life.
My husband is depressed so he's eating all my food. I no longer have anything in the house I can cook. Hopefully we can go shopping when he wakes up. I feel my sdit will have a better life with my parents.they're feeding her $90 a month food, taking her to the beach and adventures every day. We're as my dog gets $29 food for 3 months a bag. My big adventure is going to the store and laying in bed cuddling. Maybe the farmers market. But I don't have money for parking or gas to go on adventures daily. We use food banks how am I going to pay an extra $75 a month just on dog food. Even her fancy vet is a lot of money. When mine is $30 a month. I'd love having the money for her but even her training will be a stretch. I'm counting on her to give me a little independence. Plus her harness is $500. I'm not even coloring. I want to take these coloring classes but can't. I want to learn how to draw. I have a chance to apply for art school but have no idea how I'd pay to get there or the supplies. So that's on the back burner. I want to move but can't. I want a bath bench but afraid it will look stupid and be a waste of money. I want a wheelchair so I can go longer distances but even getting a handicap bus pass is taking forever. I feel trapped, unappreciated, and just down. Zoloft isn't working yet. __________________ Dx: Me- SzA Husband- Bipolar 1 Daughter- mood disorder+ Comfortable broken and happy "So I don't know why I'm tongue tied At the wrong time when I need this."- P!nk My blog |

@Victoria'smom sorry you are just scraping by with the food running low. Hope your husband takes you food shopping.
If you are interested there are many free digital art courses available by googling. CANDC [If you want me to see your reply to this post please include @CANDC in your message - not in requoting my message] __________________ Super Moderator Community Support Team "Things Take Time" |

I am sorry as I don’t know the history of your situation why you have a dog but I think you might want to rehome it. If all three of you are unwell and don’t work, supporting an animal might not be reasonable. Can someone take your dog?

I think her dog is a service animal.

This would have broke me this morning. It's a bit classest a but that's okay. I'm paying for food, vet, grooming, training when I get her and the extra $75 can go really far. I don't get her until summer she's my service dog. Currently my dog that lives with me is 14 years old. She's the one eating $30 food. So the sdit will be on $30 food. I'm really anxious about her adapting to my life over the life my parents have given her thus far. I needed reassurance not more doubt.

SDIT is a new term for me.
Does this sound about right? this is Google's experimental generative answer. "SDIT may refer to Service Dog in Training, which is a dog that is being trained to perform tasks related to its handler's disability. For example, a service dog might alert its handler to an upcoming seizure. Some people raise SDiTs to honor loved ones." __________________ Bipolar I w/psychotic features Last inpatient stay in 2018 Geodon 40 mg Seroquel 75 mg Gabapentin 1200 mg+Vitamin B-complex (against extrapyramidal side effects) Long term side effects from medications, some of them discontinued: - hypothyroidism - obesity BMI ~ 38 |

@divine1966 I don't have the resources or opportunities or lifestyle that my parents have. I'm on disability, I live in a city instead of a suburban, I'm not as active as them due to financial limits. So I feel bad this dog ( my service dog) has a life I could never give it for the first 2 years and now has to adjust. It doesn't mean it won't have a good life just different.
@Tart Cherry Jam yes sorry this dog will be my service dog for mobility and Sza. __________________ Dx: Me- SzA Husband- Bipolar 1 Daughter- mood disorder+ Comfortable broken and happy "So I don't know why I'm tongue tied At the wrong time when I need this."- P!nk My blog |

Well the encampment team hasn't come yet. We can't grill until they're gone. My husband went to pick up soda and juice. I'm still on the hunt for a vet. My mom wants everything to stay the same. I don't feel comfortable with her paying for things. So we'll see how this goes. I need to get better at handling money. Food is our real problem and parking tickets. I applied for discount bus today. I have 2 months before hearing back. I really need to accept we live here and embrace it. It's been almost a year and a half. We haven't fully moved in because the space is to small for art to be one space. So that's all packed up.

I will not be dependent on her. She's already done more than enough.

Think of it this way, the poor dog needs quality food to do his job. Also for his health. You are not dependent on her your poor dog is.

This dog wouldn't be on $90 food if it was up to me ever. That food is no better than my dog food. Honestly for $90 she could have quality home cooked, limited ingredients, grain free, and sensitive skin food. That kibble is not where I would spend my money but because it's not my money or my dog yet I don't have a say. food skyrocketed or that would be what she would go on. But you make a good point for homemade food.

So I found out I can speak to a nutritionist and see if I can get the needed vitamins and recipe from them for sensitive skin and joints to make the food. This may have worked out better for both dogs.

I understand you not wanting to depend on her and that’s why I said she could pay for dogs if they need something you can’t afford. That’s for them not for you. I deliberately say not paying your parking tickets. Maybe not even paying for your food. But dog’s. It wouldn’t make you dependent on her.
