My dog died today. My first instinct was to tell my friends, but I dont want to make them worry, so im telling strangers instead. I nesd to get this off my chest since it feels so heavy. I cant stop crying, I have so many regrets. I wish I could change the past and acted on my dog's illness sooner. Im pathetic, I hate this. Everything I see or anything I do reminds me of him. My coping mechanism rn is js crying in my room while doomscrolling and watching vids/looking at photos of this dog. If anyone has any coping mechanisms healthier than this, please tell me. It genuinely hurts so much to lose something so valuable.
