Brilliant thread! I get the idea behind the phrase and the advert, but it really misses the mark for so many of us. And I think about how sometimes (often) we are told our not ok isn't ok at all. MH/ill-health is not yet so stigma-free that the phrase works.

It is awful and heartbreaking, but also a kindness. You are so strong in deciding this for your dear Tinka. You have all my sympathy and support, sending warm thoughts to you both 💙

The choice you are making is the hardest and also the most important in having an animal companion. I had to let my horse go early this year, and the "is it the right choice" process was so hard. But I believe that when we start to consider the end, there tends to be a very good reason.

I imagined you laying in a "fort" created by inflatable hot tubs, like a novel version of a blanket fort. This was an intriguing image, but this new info makes more sense 😄 #MadSkyChat

I'm ok thank you! Had surgical removal of a wisdom tooth yesterday, so I'm quite drugged up and sleepy. Been watching TV, listening to audiobook, sleeping and generally just taking it slow.

I hate that they do this to you. It's so unnecessary and cruel. Just another day at work for them, personal and often life and death for those their policies and treatment hit. Hugs 💙

Glad you were able to stick up for yourself. That's impressive, especially with such unhelpful responses. Setting limits and being clear about boundaries is sometimes the only win you can get. Takes strength though!

The outcome sounds not awful? I don't know how much you were expecting from them.
I'm working through some anger at services atm, and it's such a draining thing. They do have all the power, after all. Hope you have a good sleep after today's effort

Oh what a stressful mess they've created. I really hope it gets solved easily and quickly for you. Having economic issues looming over everything is not really good for the mentals, in my experience. Hugs!
