I don't know you personally, hence I don't know what you struggle with so I might be projecting a bit but I got my own place and adopted 2 cats which was like one of my biggest goal 2years ago. Now, I'm more depressed than ever and on the edge of hurting myself, thankfully my mom can take care of them for a few weeks but I'll have them back at the end of this week. I think I'll quit my job because of my poor (to say the least) mental health. I LOVE taking care of my cats and they've been helping me to get through most days but It's also a lot of responsibilities. I would recommend, as I did before (and if you can) to be foster family first. And, if you decide to adopt one (or two!) make sure someone can take good care of them if something happen to you.
