I’m so sorry. Do not underestimate or downplay the loss of a pet companion and the impact it can have on your life. Know you gave your dog the best life ever, and he wouldn’t want to see you sad. Know what you are feeling is natural and painful
Thank you for your response, it genuinely means a lot. He had a great life and was in immense pain towards the end, so I know it was the right decision, but that doesn’t make it any easier

I am so truely sorry for your loss! So many people overlook the impact that the loss of a pet can have, especially one who has been a part of your life for so long. Please know that you gave them the best life and the fact you're so upset just goes to show how much they were loved. Would it be possible to take some leave just to give yourself some headspace and to grieve? Please know, it will get better!

No worries and please feel free to drop me a message if you need someone to talk to :)
Sending some love your way ❤️
I’m so sorry. I had my dog for 15 years and really went through some dark months after he passed away. Its completely natural to be depressed. Try to get outside for the walks you used to do together and think about the good times. Just like you took care of him you need to take care of yourself!
Im so sorry for your loss 😔 hope you give yourself time to mourn as they are such an important source of joy and love❤️ sending you strength and love to get through this
That’s all so incredibly hard. Crushing and so sad to lose a beloved pet. And even harder when already dealing with depression and anxiety — I empathize with all of that. Maybe consider speaking with a grief counselor and/or therapist? I just downloaded Better Help and matched with a therapist (but haven’t started yet). One comfort is that hitting rock bottom is that things are almost definitionally guaranteed to get better. And sometimes we need to bottom out to start getting the help we need and change things (internal and external) for the better. The night is always darkest before the dawn.
I hear you. I’m not quite sure why I’ve put it off for so long when it seems to help so many people. I’ve heard that sometimes you have to try a couple before you find a good fit who clicks with you and really helps.
And some other self care (exercise, hikes, whatever works for you) is important. Given your April 15 comment, sounds like you’re buried in work right now, too, which makes it hard. When I’m slammed I often neglect self-care, but taking the time for self-care usually makes me more productive — it recharges me and helps me deal with the hard stuff. Pulling for you and hoping you start to feel better. And I’m so sorry for your loss.
Really sorry for your loss OP. Take some time off if you can and time will heal everything.
Losing a dog is just as difficult as losing any other family member. Take time to heal ❤️
