That's a really tough situation — losing a pet is genuinely heartbreaking, and it makes complete sense that depression would feel heavier right now. The stress of a missing dog on top of everything else is a lot to carry.

It's actually worth acknowledging something here: even while feeling this low, reaching out about that job took real effort. That matters.

For tomorrow, a few things that might help:

- Keep it simple — just focus on getting through the interview, nothing more
- Give yourself permission to feel however you feel; you don't have to pretend everything is fine
- Remember that necessity pushing you forward isn't a bad thing — sometimes it's what gets us moving when depression makes it hard

Setting small boundaries with yourself can also help. For example, telling yourself "I just need to get there" rather than thinking about the whole day ahead.

Depression makes even basic tasks feel enormous, so showing up tomorrow — even imperfectly — is genuinely a win. And hopefully your dog finds their way home soon. 🐾
