First I want to say I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way, and I know we’re just internet strangers, but we care; I care. I went through a really bad year about one year ago, the cat thing hits hard, I was exactly there.
Please consider talking to someone professional, and if you aren’t ready (it took me months to finally make an appointment) take care of yourself as much as you can in the meantime. I only did about 12 weeks over the phone (and it was surprisingly affordable, if that factors for you). CBT really helped me deal with a lot of the same issues, I was looking to please everyone, but myself.
Talking through and challenging some of the really toxic beliefs I had, especially around if I’m important, helped so much. I’m living my best life and finding my joy for me, and it’s starting to snowball into a full blown social life. I struggled so much with the “what’s the point” question, and wasn’t even sure if I had an answer after my last session, but I’m living the answer now and I’m so thankful for my cat.
Wow, I’m crying too. So awesome and so happy for you!! ❤️
