Today, my dog was diagnosed with depression. I got him to help with my depression. I guess we can just be miserable together. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I took my labrador to the vet because he seemed really sick and wasn't acting like his usual self the past few weeks. The vet said nothing was physically wrong with him and that he's most likely suffering from depression. My own depression is why I got a dog in the first place. FML
Today, I have a dog I got to help motivate me to keep active and prevent the worsening of my chronic pain and limited mobility. My dog just got diagnosed with chronic pain and limited mobility. Misery likes company, I guess. FML
Today, my mental illness hit rock bottom when I caught myself wishing I was buried next to my dog because nothing makes me happy anymore. FML
Today, I noticed that my dog was feeling sad. I let him hop on my bed with me to make him feel better. It worked, right after he vomited all over my face and pillow. FML
Today, after I got a cat to help with my anxiety, it turns out he also has anxiety. FML
Today, I took my dog to the vet and she was diagnosed with obesity. The vet then told me that dogs usually imitate their owners eating and behavior habits. FML
Today, I bought a dog to make me feel less lonely. He ran away. FML
Today, I was playing with my dog, teasing her, to cheer myself up after being dumped by my girlfriend. My dog bit me hard and I had to go to hospital. The dog has to be put down. FML
Today, my girlfriend was really depressed. I listed the top 50 reasons why I love her. Her response was "thanks for that but seriously, this video on youtube is hilarious." I couldn't cheer her up but apparently a 10 second video of a dog running in circles can. FML
Today, I was diagnosed with depression. My girlfriend's idea of consoling me was to break up with me because she can't date a "psycho". FML

Or you can cure each other. Make each other happy. Dogs feed off of your emotions.

Maybe you can help each other fight your depression.. Good luck, OP! I love dogs too and I find it sad that it was diagnosed with depression.

You need too get in tune with your dog. He relies on you to take care of him. Show him lots of love and playtime. He'll be your best friend. Help him pull you out of it.

Absolutely, animals experience a wide range of emotions. Depression is a tad "unnatural" though, it tells me that the dogs' needs aren't being met by the human guardian. Abandoned animals often fall into depressions where they aren't interested in food, stay at the back of their kennel run, refuse to make eye contact, etc. They lose the will to live.

How do you know if the dog is depressed? Seriously?! Sleeps a lot, eats a lot & never smiles and then it gets depressed lol
