As you might have seen the thread about speedy and sunggles :'( I think I am depressed. I'm having flashbacks of that night wich is causing me to break down crying and i think it's all my fault . I find myself saying over again that I should have brought them in and Why didnt I lock up their cage sooner ? *As it was only around 5ish*

I think i'm depressed and it's causing me to end up having a emotinial break down :'( :'(

Any advice ?
 
Oh Patchy, I'm sorry to hear that! Grief affects us in many ways, denial, blaming yourself, unable to accept it etc etc. What you are going through is a normal process, none of this is your fault. I think talking is a good way of dealing with it, keeping how you feel in can sometimes make it worse. You can always talk to us here, some of us have been through similar.

Sending you hugs and they say time is a great healer, it is but its no comfort when you are going through the grief cycle.

Take care,

Louise

Honey its so hard to deal with. You cant blame your self. The pain will never go away but it will get easier to deal with. I have suffered terribly with depression and its not easy, still taking my tablets. The most important thing to remember is to never bottle things up even if you just cry them out to yourself you have to let them out somehow. I bottled things up and ended up taking an overdose, u must tell people if you feel hurt about something it will make it easier to live with.

Keep going honey.

Loaz of Hugs.

i hope you feel better soon, sometimes it helps to journal these things down and then either burn the papers or tear them up, should help to release some of that grief and sadness

try to stay strong, time is a great healer, things WILL get better and brighter for you so keep pushing on there

i remember when i had lost my hamsters i cried and moped around the house for days and didn;t want to do anything. it took some time but i did get over them course they are stilll very much in my heart that will never change,

i wish u the best of luck O0

I still re live the night/morning of Sully's rainbow bridge time.... i think we all still would wish to be able to help more... i wish i could have but there was nothing i could do... do you think that might be the same for you...?
pm me and i'll work it out with you..... there's many of us who have been thru this, please chat to one of us we totally understand what's happening... but also realise the pain your going thru :'( :'(
Take care love, hey any time send me a pm, if i can't help i'll try to steer you to the right person or group :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
Awww... I dont know what to say. What happened to your little guineas was terrible and must've been such a shock. I agree and empathise with what Amy has said. Its also good to vent your feelings with a pen and piece of paper as BlueRose said. Clears your head a bit. O0

It'll take time but the raw emotion will get easier I promise. Ive lost pets in the past. Probably sounds quite corny but its better to have loved and lost them than never have had them at all in your life. You'll realise this one day if you dont think it now. Theres a lot of 'what if's' in life though - it doesnt bear thinking about cos they just rule your life. Its easier said than done though I know.

Chin up and take care

Thanks everyone.
I dont know what to say Exept I laughed today because I remember about this one time that snuggles got out and we were looking everywhere then we found he all snuggled under the cage!

Yeah great news that you are thinking of the funny things they used to do. I was thinking about this post earlier. I had a budgie called Joey, he was blue and named after my grandad. He was a delight and very funny! When he got old he lost his colour and turned white, I was only a young teen at the time and didn't realise but one day he had some kind of fit at the bottom of the cage. I thought he was dead but he got back up. He did it again the following day and this time he did pass away.

It took me a year to get over it fully, I kept having flashbacks and it was horrid. It does ease off and now I remember the good times when Joey used to talk to my Nan, he only ever tried to talk for her and when I'd wash my hair and put a towel on my head, he would go mad!

Just thought I'd share, even though my experience was very different from yours the process is the same, you aren't alone in how you have been feeling.

Hugs,

Louise
