I’ve had her for four days now and my mental health is at an all time low. My therapist had suggested I get a puppy a few months ago cause I was super lonely at the time so I did all the research and read about puppy blues and thought I could handle it but I really don’t think I can. I am crying all the time

She hates the crate. Screams in it and nothing I do helps. I’ve tried covering it, throwing treats in, putting her toys in there (I even have the bear that has the heartbeat) but it doesn’t matter she still screams.

Potty training is going terrible. I live in an apartment and can’t take her outside so I’ve been trying to use the pee pads but she likes to chew on them instead of pee so I can’t leave them out and just follow her with one but she usually ends up going on the floor.

She started doing this thing where she if she’s sitting in my lap she’ll jump up into my face with her mouth open. Her teeth are so sharp and every time she bites it hurts! I’ve tried doing the ouch and pull away method but I think she thinks we’re playing even though I immediately disengage.

I’m honestly at a loss as to what to do because I wanted her so badly but I’ve never been so frustrated and depressed in my entire life. I didn’t even cry this much when I broke up with my boyfriend earlier this year. I’m just in a really dark place and it seems impossible to come out of. I know y’all say it gets easier but I’m not sure I can wait it out anymore

She’s nine weeks old now
