Does anyone else torture themselves like i do? For some reason I often find myself reading people's posts about losing their pets or having to put them to sleep and I just sit and SOB! like uncontrollably. I am sitting here completely wet-faced. A lot of it might have to do with my having lost my first yorkie after having her only a month when she got hit by a car. I dunno...I never let myself think about what I witnessed, and this might be my subconscious' way of getting the tears out that I don't let myself shed? Even though it's been a year and a half almost. |
I too get sad, that is why I avoid those threads, sometimes only titles bring tears to my eyes. I also try to avoid the illness threads, they make me totally paranoid and I start seeing symptoms on my girls :o |
I started a thread a while ago regarding the same issue. I now try to avoid threads that may be sad. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...es-go-vet.html |
I read all the threads and I do cry but I don't post often because it is to hard to express how I feel. When I first joined I lost one of my babies to a coyote and the replies did help me feel better. |
I too avoid anything sad. I am just not strong enough to read and/or watch sad things. Then that makes me feel bad for not supporting others in their time of need. |
These sad stories are very hard to read. They make me cry, too. But I am glad they are posted so we have a way to show our support to others. They also make us aware of the dangers out there for our little ones. Mine is ALWAYs on a leash outside and when we visit other people, too. She tags along by my side where I know she is safe. It might look cruel to some people, but she gets plenty of exercise and freedom at home. When we cry over sad stories, it is a way of getting out some feelings that we have hidden away down deep. Just don't read every single one, or you will become depressed. If anyone has saddness to express, you can always send me a PM and pour out your heart. I am sure there are many good listeners here on YT who would be there for you, too. Just have to ask. |
Believe me we are only human right? I think most of us feel the same. We don't reply to sad posts then feel guilty for not offering our support. Just the other day I was reading the one about "How do you know when its the right time to let go"? I got through 4 posts and couldn't read the rest through my tears, I was in a similiar situation in March with my dog. Please don't beat yourself up about it , we come on here for help and to feel good but there is always someone worse off than you. Thats life.:rolleyes: |
I feel the same as you, I lost my Molly 2 years ago Thanksgiving day after she had gone in to be fixed. She was only 2lbs, nine months old. I think it was too much for her. but everyday I think of her. I now have Sissie (3lbs) and just as precious, but she is having pancreas issues, so I am learning all I can on what to do for her. I love talking to yorkie people, because they get it...how special these little dogs are..I will now go wipe my tears... Lynn |
