This is really hard for me to post so try to be nice in the comments. I have reptiles. 2 snakes and 2 lizards. I’ve had them all for over 3 years and this past year it’s been really difficult for me to find the energy and motivation to care for them. I have severe depression, anxiety, and ADHD and it’s almost like my symptoms have gotten worse lately and it’s impacting me more. I was in a really low place in highschool but when I got out I started feeling a lot better and that’s when I started getting my animals. But now I feel like I’m down that hole again to that low place and I hate myself everyday for not giving my animals the proper care they deserve. I thankfully still live with my parents and my mom helps feed them and make sure they have water but I feel like such a burden because she used to never have to help with that. And it’s not that I don’t love my animals because I do and I do so much that it hurts. I was thinking a little about how some people have to give up their animals when they can’t take care of them anymore and I really don’t want to have to do that because I love them so much and I would miss them way too much. I feel like rehoming them would be admitting defeat and just giving up and I don’t want to give up on them. I need to keep trying. Does anyone have any helpful tips on how to keep a consistent schedule and making it a priority even when I feel like I can’t do anything? Again, this is hard to post because it’s also kind of admitting that I need help with something I used to be able to do effortlessly. Please be kind in the comments and if you judge me, at least give me advice on what I can do while you’re at it..
