I feel so terrible! How do I feel better about myself?

Question

NOW THIS WAS NOT ON PURPOSE! I was at pet-co and I has holding a mouse I wanted to take home because the guy behind me was going to feed it to his snake and then it jump out of my hand on to the floor and died, I think of a seizure and I feel so bad because I killed it and please don't yell at me in the comments because I feel bad enough

Answer 1

it is not your fault. the animal was bred to be fed to animals. its sad.

feeder fish are usually sick, and that mouse was probably sick too. If anything, it was put out of its misery in a painless way.

It's alright. When one life leaves, another is welcomed into the world.

Answer 2

only thing im giong to yell at you for is putting this question in the wrong section- should be in the mental health or social science section.  aside from that, it doesnt sound like you killed the mouse.  either way, if you have feelings about the incident that are bothering you, try writing about them in a journal or blog, or talking with a close friend about how you feel.  just having someone there to listen (even if that someone is a piece of paper) can help alot.  it can help you get down to the root of your feelings and help you work through them.  feel better.

Answer 3

Don't feel bad young lady. The mouse chose to jump, you didn't drop him or throw him. Even though the mouse is dead, you saved him from yet a worse death. Think of it that way, and maybe you'll feel better, I certainly hope so. Accidents happen all the time, but they were never done on purpose. Good luck to you, and smile for saving that mouse from the jaws of a snake, and the slow painstaking death as it is consumed by the inner workings of the snake.

Answer 4

It's not your fault at all.

the mouse's instinct told him to jump.and you can't do anything about it

where did the guy come from?he should have stopped his snake.he wasn't careful enough.I think it's HIS fault

anyway the mouse is dead and you can't do anything about it.so don't blame yourself

Answer 5

Hey, it was an accident.  Think of people that get into car accidents and  in the other car someone gets hurt or worse.  Human beings make mistakes.....period.    I'm sure the mouse will understand.  He would have died anyway by being eaten by a snake.   That has got to be terrifying!
