I would love some advice on this. It doesn't seem as bad as most problems on here but it is driving me mad. Six months ago we bought a puppy - which was dearly wanted by all - I just couldn't cope and we ended up re-homing him. I wanted him so badly and then as soon as I had him I felt I had made a terrible mistake. He is now in a good home and probably forgotten all about me! Anyway, I now desperately feel that I want a dog and it is driving me mad -I think about it all the time like some sort of obsession. I would never get one until I knew that I could cope and this time it would be for life. Why cant I stop thinking about it? I feel like I am going mad. i want to stop thinking about what could have been and clear my mind before we would even contemplate it again. Any advice appreciated . It is really making me feel low.
