My mental health is awful and possibly getting worse and getting pet rats would help me focus my attention on something more positive rather than dwelling on thoughts that make me feel worse. I'm Sofia, I'm 14 and I have an eating disorder, OCD and Emotional Disregulation/BPD and I'm currently getting hospital treatment that isn't really helping at the moment but having rats would give me something to look forward to in life as not much makes me happy but animals always have and my parents aren't against the idea they are just a bit freaked out by rats so don't like the idea of having them as pets but if we get to 1000 or even better 10000 signatures they would for sure agree :) I'm not asking for donations as we already have the finances to support rats and I have bought most the stuff I just need them to see peoples signatures more than anything thank you :)
