I’ll be praying for you, depression is very serious and very real. You have a community here that will support you but I’d like to encourage you to find a community of folks there in your area as well. Do you have someone there you can talk to in person? A friend to grab coffee with a couple of times a week, just to chat with? I know doctors can be expensive but there are other ways without insurance, my family has medishare so we get to take advantage of some of the things that self pay individuals get, like most doctors give a 25-40% discount for self pay and there’s a magical app called good RX that gives killer deals on prescriptions! As far as your tortoise, he looks absolutely great! You’ve done a terrific job, I’d like to see you keep it up. If worse comes to worse, then I’m sure you’ll find someone to care for him, I know there’s several folks here that would but you’ve done such a good job and are obviously in love with him. Keep doing what you’ve been doing. [emoji41]

Hi! How are things going?

interesting.. to say the least. i might be moving to ohio and living with my grandma again for a bit. that’s if she allows me to take my snake. thats the only way my parents will help take care of my tort and my beardie, but i need a break from everything here anyways. theyre both scared of my snake and so is my grandma so i cant leave without it either way. other than that my birthday is coming up and its a big one, but if im being honest im the slightest bit excited

I'm in northern ohio and experienced with snakes and lizards too, not just turtles. Let me know if you need any help.

You're not alone with your depression.
If you're like me, sometimes even the cause of it is unclear.
But you're old enough to know that life has cycles.
The good and the bad.
So I expect you are soon due some extreme happiness.
Take it easy.
