I'm so sorry about your dog. When I've lost a pet, I try to think about the great life and love I gave them. Support from others is important and I'm glad your reaching out, it's very courageous and that courage will get you through this.

I'm so sorry. Losing a pet is extremely painful and I don't think there's a healthy way to make coping with that pain easier. Being proactive now about friends you can talk to or activities you can do to keep you busy in the next few days/weeks may be a good idea. I think there's also an important opportunity for acceptance here: You will most likely feel devastated and sad. Accept it and have faith that the feelings will pass & you always have a community here that you can turn to, even if it's non-OCD related 💚

And I mean that I don't think there's a healthy way of avoiding that pain. There are definitely healthy ways to cope with the pain, but the pain itself is unavoidable.

i’m so sorry to hear about your loss. losing someone special like a pet is never easy on the heart. i lost my cat last january - he was my best friend. what helped for me - which i hope can aid you in healing.. give yourself the space to feel & be in your emotions. reflect on the beauty that your dog gave you and all of the beauty you gave to her. let your tears fall freely 🌷 it’s admirable that you reflected on yourself & spoke about it. writing it all down, whether it here or in a journal can help a lot 🌷 you could also reach out to a trusted friend & let them know what you’re going through. best wishes

Rumination
Advice needed please: Has anybody ever been in a situation where something traumatic or heartbreaking was happening in their life and struggled with rumination? I know there is like a normal amount that you should process something and cry it out but I don’t know that it is conducive to anything to do that on and off for hours? Wouldn’t it at a certain point be considered unhelpful rumination? And if so how does one stop? Because I’m going through something so hurtful and confusing that I don’t know how to stop thinking about it and the usual distractions don’t work for very long. And idk how important this is but it just happened today so it’s very fresh which makes it even harder to not think about and “figure out” why x, y, z happened. Goodness, I’m sorry if I’m weird or a baby

I am scared I might die within the next few days
I'm currently living through a massive health scare with really scary symptoms. I am scared I might have an aneurysm due to my symptoms but despite that the doctor's don't think it's urgent. I have some test scheduled but I will have to wait weeks for some of them. I don't know how to get through this knowing I could die any moment. I live in constant terror ever since those symptoms started. I can't function. Can anyone here please help me with this??? I don't know what to do?
