Faced my anxiety but it went wrong. So went to jellycat store and found the two bunnies i wanted. I felt better. Then my dog got to one and now I just want to cry lol

I need to rant😭 i know it sounds pathetic, but back story. I love plushes sooo much. But a month or two ago my mental state made me not be able to go near them and I had to quarantine everything I loved. Im getting slightly better now with my fear of germs and contamination. So I've been able to buy new things again and finally got the bunnies.

I love my dog. Not his mouth. He picked the rabbit up with his mouth. I got the rabbit to try and symbolise that everything will be ok, and because it had a nice texture, the type that helps me when im overstimulated (autistic), and it is the colours of my parrot, and reminds me of the sea. And now it's ruined. And it triggered a meltdown and i cant regulate myself no matter how much im trying. Now I cant unsee it as this disgusting piece of filth. I know realistically its not THAT filthy. The texture is ruined and its uneven and its disgusting. I scrubbed it which made it worse. I wasted money and now I cant stop crying about how pathetic it all is and it feels like a sign that everything very much isn't ok. This is the first time my dog has picked up any plushie. I was going to try and convince my therapist I was cured and fine but now I know im not and that i really do have issues

I know its stupid but man I was really struggling and it made me feel better and now everything's just worse than before 🙂 I cant stop spiraling and now I have a stupid contaminated rabbit I dont know what to do with. I cant get another because it was a miracle I was even able to leave the house in the first place. Maybe i should wash it and donate it. But I've still wasted money. I braved out my fear of public spaces and stood there picking out the best one and everything and im just so sad lol

Happy to update that Franklin is no longer feeling ashamed in his frills🙌 He now has two rabbits joining him in his no nudity party

He (the green dragon) is finally out of quarantine after my anxiety destroyed him for me, and today the two other outfits I bought arrived. So it was a very perfect reunion!!! I missed my dragon dude sm 🥲 i just realised his outfit isn't fastened properly in these pics but its fiiiine

Im so lost and so stressed. I've made so many posts like this but im trying again. I really dont know what to do and its making me feel evil:")

Since before Christmas now, my snail (fulica) has barely eaten at all and barely moves. She is about 3. She also retracts. Near Christmas time she sealed up, i assumed it was just a temp/humidity issue, since she broke the seal and came out after i made it a bit warmer, but she is still inactive. Nothing had changed in her enclosure etc. I don't use sprays or anything either. I then started making slight changes after a while (a bit warmer, a bit dryer, etc) , no result from any. I gave her a bee pollen bath after I noticed these changes but that didnt make a difference.

She DOES react to stimuli, she will be retracted but start coming out if you hold or move her. She had egg for protein a few days ago (last pic is her afterwords) though she barely had much and it was the first time i managed to get her to eat protein in a long time. I keep expecting to find her dead, yet everytime I pick her up to check, a few moments later she is up and poking her head around. I would say that she seems happier outside of her enclosure but at the same time she still doesn't move all that much. But atleast she acknowledges food. And moves. I know snails are slow but it does feel like there's an actual issue

I have been keeping up with food and offering protein even though she doesn't really eat it. Im constantly checking the temperature. I even recently moved her to a different home in a desperate attempt to see if she would perk up from a less moist environment because I wondered if maybe it had gotten too boggy or even acidic in her last enclosure? (I didnt get rid of all her old soil, she still has some mixed with the new) I don't know. Im just so lost and feel like im failing this animal so hard and its kinda devastating me alot. I got told by alot of people that its most likely not age related too? I thought maybe some sort of mouth prolapse and that's why she isn't eating, but from what I saw her mouth is still as normal and cute as ever :(

Her temperature right now is 23⁰. Used to be 24⁰ but i lowered it to see if maybe she wanted it cooler. Like I said, im getting desperate and running out of ideas. Her humidity is 70-80%, stupid thing is never 100% accurate

If anyone has any advice or insight PLEASE share. I feel like im losing my mind over here, I hate feeling like i could be doing more

I feel like i got my first one only like a month ago???!! Time goes tooo fast 😭 I love them though. Silly me for thinking I could just stick to one doll lol. I got abbey today and she is slightly damp so ignore how non fluffy her fur is

I got her years ago and thought she was fake but just discovered apparently in Europe this fluttershy was just made paler. Anyways, she has sort of white marks?? I can't tell if it's just weird fading or if there's an actual issue - this fluttershy seems to me made of a weird plastic compared to others. Hopefully the camera picks it up. She kinda looks like cheese that is going moldy to me and its making me feel 😵‍💫😵‍💫. I gave her a bath to try and see if i could tell better but I still can't
