  • I was keen on a Marketplace item. It wasn’t much, $20, despite its value being far more than that. Was scheduled to meet up to collect, but as it got closer to time, the seller took an hour to confirm their address (they kept saying they had bad phone signal…but I’m not sure what that has to do with en able to confirm your own address), and then switched it up from them being there, to needing to collect from someone else, who’s number I was given to call when I arrived.

    As soon as I expressed concern, they got very defensive and angry. For me, that’s red flags all over so I noped out and blocked em.

    Did I overreact? What would you folks do?

    In the past I was very adverse to medication due to side effects, till I found a Dr that was willing to work with my concerns and we found a non-SSRI med that didn’t have the side effects I was worried about (Agomelatine/ Valdoxan). It may be worth broaching the topic with your GP to explore options.

    I also wonder if a commissioned soft toy of Melbcat would be comforting. It may also be safer than her Urn to sleep with. 🖤

    You are doing so well working through this grief. The first month is the hardest. Numbness seeps in a bit like a scab.

    I lost my dog a couple of years ago.

    **it was the hardest thing to bear. If I hadn’t have been in a relationship with someone else acting as a tether at the time, I’m not sure I’d still be here.

    For me the first year was a year of mourning, but it gets easier to remember all the good times, and how much they were loved. I have developed meaningful rituals on his birthday and anniversary of passing. He continues to be a part of my life as I continue to move on.

    I hope you gentle recovery and I hope this somewhat helps or consoles you. 🖤
