I am thinking I may need to research on how animals help humans bond, or even if they do.

*glomps choco* :D

Reached 14.4K in TL. Almost a fourth of the way to my goal! And 2K left to write today until I reach my new daily goal of 4.4K. But I might be writing more...we'll see, I guess!

Yay, Karla!

Does anyone know if animals can help humans to bond?

You keep asking that, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN. use smaller words.

jk, but seriously... what do you mean by bond? the answer's gonna be yes, but bond with who? how? where? etc.

If you mean like getting a dog as a couple and you bond while you both care for it, then I'd say yes.

((((Choco)))) I was diagnosed almost 8 years ago. It was definitely rough news for me and my mom too. She even wanted to get me off meds asap but soon realized this was definitely long term.

I am here for you if ever you want to talk. IDK if you have my new email. I can rep it to you if you want.

I've been on medication for a couple of years. I'm hoping to get off it one day...

god, I'm literally sitting here crying. Thanks lisa and karla. :e2grouphu

The psychiatrist I'm seeing keeps suggesting meds but I'm honestly too scared to go on them. I don't know how or if I should tell my mom, I feel like she'll think it's her fault or something when it's not.

I'm so sorry, Choco.

Lisa said:
The Hatter.

Elysium said:

Well, where would the fun be in that? I lurrrrrrve him.

And besides, I can't kill him. That would interfere with Hatter's drunk scene.

Which is hysterical.

I'm cracking up just thinking about it.

It's ultimately your choice to go on meds or not. It's definitely recommended, but a counselor/therapist can help, too.

When you tell your parents, add that it's not their fault. Describe what you've been feeling, when you've started feeling it, a cause if you know it. Just know you're not alone.

(((hugs)))

I don't have any funny scenes for TMB yet. I don't know what to feel about this.
