The short to this question is a resounding... maybe? Last month, I adopted both a puppy and kitten, and in all of the running around to potty train, clean up pee and poop, make sure they're all healthy and fed, I haven't had much time to think about being depressed. How has that affected me? Is it a good thing because I've been able to stay out of my own head, or is it a bad thing since I haven't been thinking about my mental health as much, so I haven't been able to understand what's making me feel way that I do? I honestly have no idea, but what I can promise you is that Halsey and Leia are super cute. --- I am not a doctor, so do not treat this as therapy or medical advice.
