I feel like the worlds worst person right now but I am considering returning the dog I recently adopted to the shelter. He is so sweet and energetic but ever since I got him I have just plummeted in terms of mental health. I am having depressing dark thoughts and cannot calm down from them. 

I think giving the dog back to the shelter would make me a horrible person. I know people say to give it time but I am so scared of what I might do to myself while I wait. This dog is so sweet and I want him to have the best life but I don’t think I can give it to him. I feel like I can’t cope if I keep him and if I give him back to the shelter. I’ve been crying for the past six or so hours. I can’t do this.
