Depressed because my cat is gone

[christeenlmbn]

Please don't make fun of it because it does hurts when you have a pet and loves him but them you have to give the pet away. I had lots of kitties before but my cat Joey is the most cat that I've loved. I've had Joey since he was only 1 week old and now he's almost 1 year old. He's so loving and fun and when ever he notice that I'm sad or crying he comes over and brush his face against mine and sleep next to me or on my lap. I always feel good when I tell him my feelings and I know he doesn't understand but at least it gives me an opportunity to open my mind to someone that I love because ive hard time telling people how I feel. I'm always depresses since I was diagnosed with ocd and other mental disorder. Today my parents had to give him away , and I cried for hours and I'm s crying  now because it hurts. Please someone tell me how do I get over this feeling, every time I look at his photos I end up crying , please help me

You're not depressed, you're sad.  It will pass with time, but you can't suppress it.

Dear Christeen, Oh, I feel for you.  I know what it's like to lose a favorite pet.  Nothing worse, really.  About all I can suggest is asking your parents how come you cannot keep Joey?  Tell them how you've been crying daily since he's been gone.  Tell him how he sensed when you were sad and would comfort you.  See what they say.

I CAN tell you this.  One day you will be living on your own, you'll have a job to pay for a place, and then you can pick out a kitty that seems like a good choice, and you can take him home FOREVER.  But for now, I would appeal to your parents about possibly reversing their decision for you emotional well-being.  They likely will not change, but it won't hurt to ask... you just never know.
