depression

so i was telling people a week ago we have to move into an apartment very last minute because we were evicted. not for a bad thing but because the house we were living in wasn't livable and was dangerous to live in. i found a home for one of my dogs and my friend is currently fostering my other one until we get house. but every since i don't have them here i feel really depressed and lonely and empty and scared. its really hard to sleep, to even think or to even want to step outside the door. i always had my dogs. and now i don't and its like my world is over. i know i shouldn't say that because I'm pregnant and have my baby but my dogs made me feel calm and safe and very loved. now i don't have that anymore. i worry about my dogs and my dog is just as depressed as i am. i asked my friend how she was doing and he said she's kinda sad and sometimes she won't eat. and last time i saw her was a couple of days ago and she wouldn't let me go she whimpered in my lap and she cried and barked while i was driving away. it hurt me so bad. i don't know if i should talk to my doctor about this because its not really a pregnancy problem. but i just don't feel me and my baby are safe. i feel safer with my dogs and a lot more relaxed and no so anxious and scared and sad. what should i do? should i talk to my doctor. i need as much advice as i can get. thank you.

i been crying since i moved in because i knew it was coming and when i had to leave her i broke down in the car i couldn't breath and i was up all night crying. i took her "baby" aka her toy with me. and when i let them take my male i held onto him but he was such a happy dog he left with those people like it wasn't a problem. they even called and thanked me for giving them such a great dog. i trained him since he was puppy. i hung up and cry the rest of the day and my mom told me it was for the best that he didn't end up in a pound or kennel. but still. i raised those babies when they didn't even have teeth. and now they are gone for me. its gonna be ok momma i hope that you do get to keep them that maybe theres something that can be done. i have to wait 6 months to a year. i have a 6 months lease but we can't find a house thats in our budget. :/

aww omg thats so sad. I'm really sorry to hear that. theres no way you can keep them at all? money isn't an issue its just our apartment said they are "too big" they are medium sized huskies. i found her dad a home because no one wanted to just foster him. my friend who has my girl dog couldn't foster him he only had room for one dog. its honestly breaking me apart inside and i have hit the bottom. i can't go outside because I'm scared and i'll start to get shaky and cry that i don't see them there.

I'm going to be the same way, I have to get rid of my dogs just because we won't be able to afford 2 dogs and a baby....
