Our clinic just burnt down I am having a hard time dealing with all of this. We lost animals in the fire as well. It is so overwhelming. Tell me it will be ok.

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry you're experiencing this. What a heartbreaking nightmare. It'll be ok, but it's alright if you feel like it isn't right now. I'm sending you all my love.

Thank you so much. It feels exactly like a nightmare. One of the worst things I've ver had to experience. Thank you for sharing your love.

There aren't even words. I'm so sorry for the loss of your clinic and the animals. It'll get easier in time, but that's a truly traumatic event. I hope the whole staff has access to therapy to process the event & all of the grief involved.

Thank you, I have a therapist and plan to meet with her this week. Thankfully. This has been very difficult to process.

OMG, that is truly awful. I'm so sorry for your loss. Thinking about losing one animal is bad enough, but several? I'm so so so sorry. My advice is cry as much as you need to, stay in bed as much as you need to, and process it/cope with as well as you know how. I'm glad to see that you are meeting with a therapist about this tragic event. I don't know if this will help, but I recommend reading The Amazing Afterlife of Animals to maybe help you get through this difficult time. My prayers are with you.

It's not your fault OP. I'm so sorry you're going through this. Accidents happen and as tragic as this one is, time heals and everyone in your community will be okay eventually. So sorry for the loss of those animals, though!

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear that. My heart hurts for you and those animals/pet owners. You have to understand that it's not your fault

Anyone here have comorbid anxiety and/or depression? How did you know, and how do you manage it now? I think I might be struggling with one or both and I’m trying to figure out how to proceed. Not currently seeing a therapist or medicated, managing based on strategies I learned from an ADHD coach back in college, so at minimum I would need to find a provider, which has been a barrier (cost-wise, finding someone with experience with ADHD, etc.)
