@7a22519e Ouch, that's a lot of toothaches for one little guy! But I'm glad he's able to get the dental work that allows him to be a happy, buttpurr giving cat. 

 @7a22519e Oh, poor Gus to have dental troubles at just 10! Lily is 18 and we have been very lucky up to this point. I'm also confident that she's going to be a lot more comfortable once everything has healed.

But I'm sure that's not much comfort to her, and I'm just going to hope the next 10 days pass quickly for both of us! 

 @cf82808b Everyone's experience is different, but I was diagnosed with anxiety at 37 and went on Sertraline and eventually added Buproprion to the mix.

I'd worried I'd feel like someone else too. I don't. I'm still capable of feeling nervous and anxious, and that part of my brain isn't BAD per se. It just wants to keep me and people I care about safe, and it's a bit overactive. The meds help me tell it to calm down, and I don't get the freeze reaction anymore. That's all. 

 @7a22519e She's had a very long day, and when she came home, she wasn't even allowed a full sized meal! She's very offended.
