mental health rants below ☆☆☆

#okay so #for a couple months now ive been thinking about maybe getting an emotional support animal #i have struggled with an anxiety disorder for majority of my life #and for the past maybe six or so years i have specifically had intrusive thoughts #ive ranted about those on here a few times before #theyre really bad for me and have been an ongoing problem #the only thing is that they basically go from 5% of a problem during the day to like 90% of a problem at night #nighttime is a big trigger for them specifically when im going to sleep #and theyve been worse recently and i havent been having a lot of fun!! #i entertained the idea of getting an emotional support animal (specifically a cat) because the comfort of animals generally does help me #whenever i would have bad nights at home i would bring my small dog up with me and he would help tones #i guess i just keep having this battle in my head of like. what if im not 'mentally ill' enough to need one #WHICH IS SO FUCKED UP RIGHT #if i think it would help me i should try especially since this is something ive actively struggled with since i was 12 #is it weird to have imposter syndrome type feelings about ur own mental health issues???? #i genuinly love cats so much and they make me so happy #and hnnnnnnnnn #westy's shit #tw intrusive thoughts #mental health
