When I am sad, scared, and depressed, they give some support, but not sure how genuine it is. Then, when I get encouraging news and am happier, I get a sense that they are unhappier. Why is this? Don’t they want me to be happy?

We have two cats , Noel and Willow, sisters, indoor cats, almost 7 years old. Noel bites the fur off the fronts of her legs, but Willow doesn’t. We thought it was an allergy, but it wasn’t. Both cats are happy and well-adjusted. Vet seems to think that it’s a “nervous habit” (very much like how humans sometimes bite their fingernails).

How to change? Is it natural with aging,cancer, job losses, deaths in family leading to feeling life spin out of control? I used to be fairly organized. It started with collecting up books, then other things, then tried to recycle and that adds to the disorganization of it all, because I am not organized at it and it is far away so I can’t go very often. Now I was out of work without unemployment (discriminated bc of cancer survivor and age) and have even been hoarding food as if I am afraid it will run out.Eating constantly to soothe my nerves. I constantly put things in front of the front door (even if I move them and clean it up, I do it again with other things), until it is hard to get in or out of the outside door. I don’t know why I seem to be spinning out of control in life… I feel like I am on a boat in the ocean that is constantly tossed about like in a storm.
