having a puppy is like having a new born. Waking up multiple times at night to take puppy out to pee. Vet appointments, feeding schedules etc. The beginning is challenging but it will pass and it will get easier. Just hang in there and take one day at a time.
Definitely! It’s a lot but we are slowly getting a routine and getting into the swing of things. It’s hard, but I am trying to focus on the moments where it’s so sweet. We’ve definitely got this and just gotta hang on and keep moving forward. Thanks so much for understanding ❤️
Hey Amanda, I just wanted to say that you really are going to be okay 💓 maybe not tomorrow, maybe not next week, but it will come. I know you don't need a random stranger on the internet to tell you this and I'm so glad to hear you have a great support system 💝 but I still wanted to remind you that you're doing your best! Life is challenging, adopting is challenging, mental health is challenging. And yet, you're here, you're doing the best you can right now and you're allowing yourself to be supported 💞 Although all experiences are different, I wanted to share that I struggle with PTSD (which comes with anxiety that causes attacks), persistent depressive disorder, and fibromyalgia. It is truly exhausting, but I am okay, and when I'm not okay, I know I will be again. There used to be a time when my major depressive episodes would last for months on end, derailing my life completely. I really thought these episodes wouldn't pass, but they did, and I learned the best thing I can do when I feel this way is to be kind to myself. I learned that self-love and leniency is hard but important. All this to say you're incredible, you're strong, you're kind, and you've got this! Things aren't okay right now and that's okay because they will be. In the meantime, love yourself, be kind to yourself, rest; know that I'm sending a virtual hug 🫂 P.S. I recently subscribed to you because of how soothing and informative your videos are! I am in the midst of trying to improve on budgeting so they are truly helping me so much! Thank you for uploading these videos, I know and get how hard it is to create content when you're going through a bout of depression, so thank you again 💕
Thank you so much for this comment, thank you! I know I’ll be ok in time, just gotta be patient and keep moving forward. This is definitely not my first rodeo with depression that’s for sure. My support system is so strong so I am leaning heavily on that right now. And things are getting better ❤️ thank you again for your kind words. Kind words, even from a stranger, make all the difference.
I know its different than a dog but I felt the exact same way - so stressed and panicked and regretful like “what have i gotten myself into” when I took in a stray kitten last year and then we moved to our new house so the routine had to begin all over again. Now I cannot imagine my life without our cat, Im so glad I held out and everything got so much better. He is truly the light of my life and brings me so much joy every day🐈⬛✨🖤. I know the same will happen for you and Toby❤
@@RC_17 this gives me hope! We are better in a lot of ways but it is still hard. Thankful I have my boyfriend to help me for sure. I’m so glad you and your cat have bonded and I hope Toby and I can too
That takes a lot of courage to be honest and put it on here!! You got this, Amanda!!
Thank you so much ❤️ just moving forward as best as I can

I don’t normally watch planning videos but, I stuck around to support. I have to admit, I liked this video. ❤
Omg thank you! That’s a huge compliment, thanks for sticking around and trying it out ❤️
