I hope you are seeking help. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 1 point 10 months ago (1 child) Pets annoy the hell out me. I hate animals to a point where I became a vegetarian years ago. I'm not trolling, I'm 100% serious. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago (1 child) I don't hate animals, but pets are expensive. Just spent $225 yesterday on an ear infection. My cat has an allergy we cant figure out. We can't afford it. Recommending a pet to even a person who likes animals, but stuggles financially isn't good advice. This is my first pet, and I probably won't get another just because cost is high for vet care and food/litter. We have two cats and we spend probably $200 a month or more just for necessities before vet visits. Flea/tick meds are monthly and $100 just for the two of em. So make that $300 a month on necessities, aye.. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago I can't afford to love anything. permalink fedilink source parent [–] victorz@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 child) I'm glad you are open about it. That's a good thing. Are you open about it to anyone close to you in your life? Or not close to you? A therapist even? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 child) I've been out of work since April. Trump stop funding the government department that employed me. Instead he sends troops to cities. As an American I can't afford a therapist. Even if I had insurance I've had nothing but bad experience with therepy. I don't have family that will help me. I'm going hungry most days to stretch my budget. In a couple months I turn 40. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago I'm sorry this is happening to you. Maybe you could live with someone as a room mate until things turn around. How's job hunting? Are you active in that? I hope your birthday will be a good day, buddy.
