Many of the issues I am dealing with at work DO repeat, but there are plenty of things that pop up every day that I have NO idea how to handle and want to curl up in the corner drooling. I can usually get someone over to walk me thru it, but it’s still mentally draining. The dogs are getting about the same amount of exercise they always did, several walks a week, a huge backyard the Setters run in constantly (You could bounce quarter off their hindquarters) and the Papillons get their extra running playing fetch. I have compromised breathing problems, and when it’s this hot & humid I can’t be outside all that much, short stretches at a time. I have not been able to go to my doctor in over a year, having been out of work and without insurance. I won’t actually have insurance until Sept. and when it kicks in, I am going to be shopping for a new doctor; mine has not b een very supportive of my depression. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-ever-feel-overwhelmed-by-your-pets/541378)._
