I’ve recently brought home a kitten from a shelter, it’s been a week now, after wanting one and looking into everything for over a year now. I thought I was prepared and really bonded with her when I met her at the shelter.
However, now she’s home with me I have extreme anxiety and depression. Like I have a constant pit in my stomach. At night I’ve been waking up multiple times and barely getting any sleep, so I’m also constantly tired.
I absolutely love her - she’s super well-behaved, adorable and pretty independent for a young kitten - and I’ve been following every recommendation bith the shelter and vet have given me - but I still feel as if I’ve made a mistake.
I can barely enjoy spending time with her because just being with her gives me really bad anxiety. I would feel horrible taking her back - the shelter is full as it is and I don’t even think they accept “returns” - but U really don’t know what to do at this point. It’s starting to really badly impact my personal life and mental health. I feel like I can’t do anything I enjoy because I’m constantly feeling worried or just exhausted.
