Anyone know of any online support group for people who've lost pets? (Preferably those like us who've literally lost pets, not who've just had a pet pass away.) I don't feel like anyone 'gets' it.
Maybe a lot of people just don't aren't that attached to their animals, but I love mine. I already have depression and losing my cockatiel has made it so much worse -- all I do is stress over if he's okay and if I'll ever find him (it's been a month already). I get panic attacks when it rains because I know thunder scares him. I look for him every day but I have nobody that's able-bodied to help me search. I'm on all the apps. I have put flyers everywhere, though most only make it three days before someone removes them. I can't give up on him, even without any sightings or sounds from him since the day he left. I know my odds are small, and I know he could be very far away by now, if alive, but I can't give up...but I don't know what's left to do, either. There's too much woodland and private property in my area to look thoroughly, all I can do is stand at boundaries and call out. My neighborhood already thinks I'm weird and I've already been told "It's just a bird." They don't understand.
