question for you all: what was the most painful moment in your life so far? im asking this to try and free you guys from what you're holding back, you deserve to feel release from your stumped down thoughts, even if its just for a few minutes.. from thinking mine happened around 2020 I had a rabbit I named Meatball since I was around 10-12 I loved him so much and I basically considered him my bestfriend, until around 2 years into having him my mental state grew so bad I found it too hard to take care of him, i felt bad and when i had the energy i would try and sit down with him but he seemed to grow distant from me every time.. I'd cry about it to him even though he never understood, it was around Christmas of 2020 and I was crying to my dad about how I just didnt think I could take care of him anymore, and that I thought about rehomeing him, this convorsation was on and off for a while, until a day came where i was playing on my laptop with my dad, and I genuinely felt happy, until we both heard loud banging coming from his cage, I went to check up on him and i asked him if he needed more water, because that's what he normally does if he needs more water... I then saw him laying on his side, seizing.. I grabbed him out of his cage as softly and quickly as I could and of course I started panicking, I called for my dad and ran upstairs to my mom, I set him on a towel and continued to pet him as he passed... I buried him in my great grandmas backyard with one of my dogs who passed around a year before him, the next day, I kept calm until it was time to lay the box he was in, into the hole he was dug, I kept crying and had a mental breakdown.. til this day i still find myself thinking about him and crying about him, he was my bestfriend and I lost him. I couldn't help but think it was my fault for the lack of attention I gave him suddenly, I just wish I could go back in time and rehome him like I talked about so much, he deserved to be loved and cared for, not ignored and cried to... he deserved better, and im stuck with knowing that he passed basically alone, not knowing if I still cared for him or not. I miss him, and I really hope he knows that, wherever he is.

      I'm so sorry about MeatballšŸ˜„ I can relate a little since I had birds around that time and I was really attached to them since I was going through a lot and felt so alone. I poured all the 100$ id managed to earn(everything that wasn't stolen from me) and all my energy (again, everything that wasnt stolen from me), and all my heart into these precious creatures. All of them died before a year had passed, one after the other, for various reasons, all of which I feel I could've prevented but which weren't my fault. It was heartbreaking for me. Then I got two cats a while later and they ended up dying a couple months after for very similar reasons. Not to mention all the fish I've "killed", lol, and I felt worse about those since I knew I couldn't keep anything alive. Now, a couple years later, I have 2 cats again and they're healthy and happy! I'm confident in these two and I love them so much. I'm grateful that I'm no longer afraid to care for pets. Not my worst experience but... I can't choose one honestly. Sorry for long comment, this is one thing I haven't really gotten to talk about before.

      I almost passed away around 2 and a half years ago when my ED was in full effect (not anorexia ā€” itā€™s complicated, but I was severely underweight and malnourished). I was 20. The pain was excruciating, and the main doctor seemed annoyed that I was there. Not a lot was done for me at the time I was in the E.R.
