Heartbroken with ill cat #Cats #Pets #MentalHealth #Depression #ChronicPain

So, my older cat has had some congestion type issues pretty bad for a few months. We've been taking him to the vet and tried a few things and he gets a little relief from the twice daily inhaler but nothing else has helped. He's lost a pound and a half in a month and a half and today we took him in to get him scheduled for a CT scan and confirm there's not much we can do but wait for the results of it. While we were at the vet she noticed that there's a pretty big difference in how dialated the pupils are. In getting a picture of it I noticed the 3rd eyelid hanging out on the eye that isn't as dialated. I am so afraid we are going to do this scan and be told that there is nothing they can do for him. Tomorrow is my husband and my anniversary only I don't feel much like celebrating right now. We already made plans with friends and I'm not going to back out (unless something changes again) but I am not feeling so great right now. I keep thinking either he could have cancer or had a stroke or something and with the weight loss...I am scared we are going to lose him. But I also hate that he's suffering. Mostly this is just an emotion dump because I need to get it out somewhere. I know we are doing the right thing working with the vet. My mother lives with us so she will be with the cat while we are out so she can keep an eye on him if anything changes. Just my husband is at work and my mom is not very good at comforting me.

What are you focusing on?

When your mind is tuned to what's missing, it will keep finding emptiness—even when you're surrounded by more than enough. Shifting from lack to abundance starts with attention. Try this: pause for a moment today and write down three things you have right now that you once wished for. This small act rewires your focus. The more you practice noticing what’s already good, the more your mind learns to see possibility instead of deficiency. What you focus on, grows.

What’s one thing you already have that you’re grateful for? Let’s start a thread of abundance below.

~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~

Like-minded people stick together… but that might be why you're stuck.

Alcoholics find other alcoholics.

Complainers attract complainers.

And yes—people struggling with depression often unintentionally reinforce each other’s pain.

But here’s the truth:

Growth never happens in an echo chamber.

If you really want to heal, grow, and strengthen your mind, you’ve got to start engaging with people who challenge your thinking—people who don’t always agree with you.

💥 This kind of mental stimulation literally makes your brain stronger.

🧠 It rewires your perspective.

❤️‍🔥 It gives you tools to overcome depression and anxiety.

✨ It might be uncomfortable… but it’s worth it.

👉 Tag someone who inspires you to grow.

🗣️ Share this with a friend who challenges your thinking.

🧩 And comment below: What’s the last conversation that changed your mind?
