@ENKELI It certainly has been a long journey. I suppose I put up with it for far too long. I should of had it investigated when I was working and had hospital cover. But I was busy working, then doing wedding photography on weekends as well as raising my daughter. So as people pleasers do, we put everyone's needs before our own.
When I realised that it was making my depression worse, I finally went to the GP who referred me to the hospital.
My cat is a girl and her name is Cindy. She is also my companion cat. She will actually come and sit on my chest or if I am on my side, she will lye on my arm with her head on my shoulder. I just love her to bits.
But unfortunately I currently live in a cabin at a caravan park, and we are not allowed to have pets, so my mum has her. And she has now become mum's companion, as she is still grieving the loss of her husband of 46 years. So really I am glad that she is there to give her some comfort.
I hope you are having an enjoyable day 😊🌻
