I am completely heartbroken. I am going to have to put one of my chinchillas to sleep. I am calling the vet tomorrow morning to set up a time. She has been sick for the last few months there just aren't any options left. I have had her for 15 years, since she was 6 months old. It is destroying me.

This year my mother in law has been hospitalized multiple times and nearly died, my sister in law had to take out a huge loan to cover her dental surgeries, they just had to put their dog down on Friday, my girlfriend's car got hit by a reckless teenager, and I/my car was in a hit and run on the interstate and they never caught the person. My last friend who still lived in town moved away this summer, and my depression and anxiety has been so bad that I've been getting physically sick multiple times per week. My parents are retired and moved over 1,000 miles away at the end of December. This has been the worst year of my life.

I am desperate to have some little moments of cheer. I stumbled across this sub yesterday and it kind of felt like a little sign from the universe. I would really appreciate anything people can send. Then I can put them up at my desk at work and look at them when I'm having a bad day. Thank you

ETA: She was put to rest this morning.
