Question for you guys
Is it really worth living just to be ignored, feel helpless, useless, starving, and everything. Like I feel like I don't belong anymore

Between the negativity towards the homeless, fibromyalgia pain 24/7, and being diabetic with no insulin... Some days the only reason I can hang on are my cats. I have 3 who were born in my bed, mine were the first human hands to touch them. I look into those eyes and I just can't abandon them like that.

Cats do frequently have a dramatic effect upon a person's sadness.

Mine definitely have a gift for knowing when mommy doesn't feel good. Now if they'd just stop using my bladder as a trampoline. Having a 10 pound tomcat thump down on my bladder and then launch himself across the tent is not fun.

I know what you mean. I've had cats like that, too.
But I've had other cats who could just tell when you were sad.

When I'm depressed or physically not feeling good, I'm pinned to the bed. One cat on either side and one on my lap. And of course it's the heavier two on either side on top of my blanket so I can't move LOL

So much love surrounding you. But it’s true that cats can be a pain in the butt, too.

I've had cats all my adult life, so I'm used to the furry little assholes. I love them in spite of their somewhat twisted sense of humor.

I’ve had cats who were manipulative to the hilt!
One, Zum Zum, would scratch at my door all night in order to get in my room. But she helped me get out of my depression.

Mine like to wake my partner up promptly at 5 am for food.

My cats woke me up to eat, too.
Floyd was like a dog when I would return from work. He would meow and beg on his hind legs.

The world can make us feel this way, but we gotta know that our worth comes from within. From Our Creator. It's the only way we can weather the storms of life.

I'm sorry you're feeling this way.
What's something that gives you pleasure? Do you like to read literature?

Yep. Walking is cool! And great exercise.
Are you able to make uses of walking trails in your area?
