After 5/6 years of having my current cat, I finally am in a stable enough place (as in have enough space and enough money) to adopt a second. I adopted a young cat on Tuesday, but since then I feel like I’m losing it a bit. 

I live in a one-bedroom apartment and she’s currently set up in my bathroom. I generally feel okay when I’m spending time with her, she’s been slow to warm up but I feel like I’m making progress. But every time I leave for a while, I just get this overbearing feeling of dread and nausea that’s not necessarily tied to anything specific. It gets especially bad at night. I’ve been struggling to eat and drink enough, and I have a hard time focusing on hobbies or work (I mostly took the week off to get her and me situated.) 

My resident cat is totally fine, though I feel guilty and worried about him, too. I’m just such a mess and I don’t know what to do.
