12. Stay around, at least for your dogs' sake.

Many people have said the same thing as you. Right now your dogs are your best medicine. I am going to die fairly soon (illness) but I will not die and leave my little girl who is 14 and very sensitive and attached to me an orphan. I am grateful that we will both go at around the same time or else we would both be miserable without each other.
Get OFF facebook! You do not need it and apparently is a negative factor in your life. My dog is the best medicine in the world for me so I suggest you spend as much time with them as possible.
Also do "mindfulness techniques". I am sure you have tried this before. If not it means to just STOP! Relax, breath, stroke your dogs, feel their warmth and softness, enjoy how genuine and unconditionally they love you, play with them while focusing on how good you feel at that very moment. Keep breathing.
