Feeling overwhelmed

Hi I'm 4 days in with my 8 week old cockapoo, I love her but I'm feeling really overwhelmed, anxious and emotional. I just keep getting this sinking feeling asking myself if I have done the right thing in having a puppy. Is this normal to this severity?

Puppy blues is 100% 'a thing'! I know I had it with our puppy (he's 5 now), it will pass but be kind to yourself and accept that your world will be upside down for a while.

Yes absolutely. Google puppy blues. Puppies are hard work and take up all your patience.

I really feel for you. It will get better.
