Got a puppy a few weeks ago and he’s added so much love to our family. Go for it and hang in there. I know life can look bleak but things are cyclical; all will trend upwards soon.

Hi hi :) Sorry to hear that you have been having a tough anxiety riddled time, I was able to instantly relate. 'I have no fucking clue what I’m doing or what I want in life anymore and when I try to envision my future, it looks ominous.'- SAME. It's a day in and day out cycle of thought, that I need to force myself to take a break from. ALL I want to do is have breakfast for 5 hours a day and make a living wage from doing so. Dilly dallying and the like, of course. And write, and read, and buy boughie bedding as you so perfectly mentioned. I support getting a dog. It can be hell, but also lovely companionship. Glad to have found this :)

Caitlyn. I wish you nothing but happiness. I found your blog through a series of random events and your articles are an absolute dream. I'm 18 and I look up to you (no pressure!) and I trust that this hard time will pass. I pray that peace and stability come your way because that is what you deserve.

Get a dog. Even pretending to fall dramatically has my dog running in like a superheroine to save me.

Sorry to hear you're struggling with your anxiety Caitlyn - it's an absolute bitch at times, isn't it?

If I could figure out how to add a picture to the Substack comments I would share a picture of my goldie Biggell who has done wonders for my mental health, so instead I will just absolutely advocate for you getting a dog - they make everything better 🫶
