Hi, first of all please by kind and don’t judge me too fast. I am a big dog lover and always have been, I grew up with one and always knew I would want one on my own when I’ll be an adult. I met my partner 3.5 years ago and he’s allergic so I kind of gave up on this, until I found out about poodle that are hypoallergenic and could fit into our lifestyle.
Fast forward to two weeks ago, my boyfriend and I decided to visit a breeder that had puppies, just to see if he’s allergic or not. We go there and both fall in love with one of the puppy, she’s very cute and friendly and we love her both. The breeder is very pushy with us taking here right now, even if we mention that we want to think about it. The excitation there made us make a not very well-thought decision and we went home with the puppy. The first 3 days were all about excitement, but now I am miserable and crying ever since.
I know it’s a phase and that puppy blues is real. But I have a severe anxiety, I can’t sleep or eat and feel like I am about to throw up.
The timing was really not ideal, I am in a very urgent situation where I need to find a job and this situation was already making me a bit depressed. My boyfriend thought that the puppy would make me feel better but it actually makes me feel terrible. It’s just so much stress and anxiety adding up I don’t know if I can keep up.
I’m considering rehoming her but I don’t know if I will regret it later…
I KNOW how hard raising a puppy can be but I’m just not in the right mental state right now.
Any advice from someone who went through a similar situation ?
