> Sounds silly but it worked wonders for me. It forces me to get up and go to work because they need me. While I have yet to find a reason to live for me, in the interim, they are my reason to keep going on. Pets are also fun to watch, are happy most of the time and ready to play with you or just cuddle with you whenever you want.
It's not silly at all. In fact I do have a pet but had to leave her with my mother when I moved. No pets allowed for now. She is a lovely lab and I miss her so much. Hopefully I will be able to get her back again soon.
Pets have been proven to help with depression and anxiety.
