That there's been a bomb in Norway, you guys.

Gosh, and with all the earthquakes recently around the world, ugh I pray for everyone's safety.

Our senior dog got really hurt again on Tuesday. I should’ve checked her…
I did check her. On Thursday I finally saw how bad it was. No one’s taking her to the vet so I tried treating her wound as best I could.
My room smells like dog. I couldn’t get the smell of pus out of my head for two days and it wasn’t even strong. I should’ve checked her sooner but now I’m doing the best I can.
It wasn’t enough of course. She should’ve gone to the vet immediately and then maybe it wouldn’t have been as bad. But she did go to the vet finally. It was infected despite my efforts. I wonder when that started. If there was anything did wrong or if it was just too big to handle topically as I was trying to do because that was the only option. It doesn’t matter though. I could’ve let her stay outside, dirty, scratching it and stretching more, risking insects getting to it. But none of that happened and now I’m sitting next to her. She’s as energetic as she was every day i took care of her. She can’t be stopped. I used to say that she was living out of spite and would probably outlive us all but she’s living despite everything she’s gone through, most of which was by her own doing. Regardless she’s a fighter and even at 14* (*refers to the dogs' age) I knew she was strong enough but I’m just so relieved that she’s been treated now and i don’t have to deal with the daily highs and lows the weight of which is all stacked on top of me.

I was getting tired of it. I got nauseous a few times. I couldn’t sleep or eat thinking about how her last bandage looked and calculating when I needed to change it again every ten minutes. I guess i wasn’t strong enough. What if I had to do this for a person? Someone I was even more connected to? I would do it willing and faithfully like i did for Maya but I would be a sensitive nurse.

Okay. I’m alright with that actually. I don’t have to enjoy it because it’s an unfortunate and unpleasant experience for both beings. It would be nice if I was knowledgeable and I wasn’t before this but now I can say that I did indeed learn a lot. And I would do it again.

One more day of lazing around.
I'm making so many mistakes right now by doing nothing.

And yet again, I feel like I want to talk to Someone, but at the same time I'm fearful of change & being laughed at.
This is my fault, my responsiblity that I'm neglecting.

I wish this was over arleady. Maybe I'll just be a leech, then. I don't know, and probably never will, where I can start to change. I'm doomed to repeat doing the same things over and over again. My fault.

is it depression or a cycle

I know this sounds mean but I miss my bf having a fulltime job. Not because of how much he gets paid, he is doing great with freelance, but anytime i'm not at work he wants to hang out and do stuff together and I need time away from him. Before we had a few hours to hang out every day, but when he was at work I could be alone or play with other people and when I was at work he could be alone or hang out with other people. I thought we didn't have much time together but turns out it was absolutely perfect.
I wanted to break up so many times during the last month because i'm so tired of him bothering me 24/7
I love him but dear god I need space. I talked to him about it but he is like a border collie puppy who needs someone telling him what to do all the time and needs constant validation. Go eat, good boy. Go shower, good boy. Go do your loundry, good boy
For goodness sake please just exist without me. You know what needs to be done so just do it. Hanging out together is great in small doses
Anything over 5 hours every single day is way too much

I may be bored out of my mind, but I'm not "you can read my Bible if you want" bored. No offense of course but as a very deep in the closet gay transmasc, I'm not going to read the Bible at the suggestion of my "I don't love the choices of LGBT+ people" grandmother.

I knew she was gonna pull this "you should find comfort in God/Christianity" stuff and I do not know how to explain to her that I never have, and never will, align myself with any religion.

I just wish she'd stop preaching to me
