Losing passion i guess?

[cutelittlepiggies2]

i honestly didn’t know where to post this but, i’ve really given up. my two guinea pigs were my life, my joy. one passed away and it was tough but i got through it and got another one. i still had an extreme passion for them. i took such good care of them, i swept their cage all the time, made sure it was always clean. water, veggies nicely chopped everyday. i would play with them for hours, take photos. they were my absolute everything

a few months ago, i started to get super mentally ill again. i still took good care of them up until this point. i completely lost myself, i’m not the same person i once was and nothing is no longer familiar. i focus more on school now and for that i gave up on my two girls. their cage is always messy, my mom usually feeds them and i rarely pick them up and love on them. they are both very healthy. i still trim nails, brush them, and make sure they have basic necessities but it still isn’t enough for me. i want them to have better. i’m trying my best but it’s so extremely difficult. i know they miss me, i can tell. i miss them so much, i miss the old times that i feel like i can never get back. i want to give them away so they get better care but i will miss them so dearly. i don’t know if i can handle those feelings but i don’t wanna be selfish.

can you guys give me some sort of motivation? or is best to give them up so they get the proper life they deserve?

I have once been through this, my motivation was that my Guinea pigs deserve the best of me and taking care of little creatures helped get me out of that dark space and to actually get up and take care of myself and them. Maybe get a blanket and just put them on there on a floor or something when you get back from school, so they’re near you but you can still do school work or maybe watch tv. Motivation is hard to get when you’re not well mentally, I totally know what that’s like. I just find it helps to just not listen to your thoughts and just get up and get stuff done. If you feel like you can’t do it anymore, then I do suggest giving them to another home. I hope this helps, I feel like my reply totally sucks, Surely another person will post on this and give you better advice, but I hope you and your Guinea pigs the best. Have you told your mum that you haven’t been feeling that great lately? Maybe she could help you bring them out and start to get back that motivation.

I wish you the best of luck
