Mayhaps :) If nothing else, maybe you'll be comforted to know that I'm in a similar situation; tho I recently bemoan the fact that there's no other living creature around (ideally I'd like a pet or something, but I think it migh tbe too much for me to handle on top of everything else), so I feel jealous of your animal interactions. As you say, it's not all honey and roses, but it's something. And sometimes I like the quiet companionship of animals over the drama of fellow human beings ;)
But yeah, point being, I had to kind of laugh to myself when I saw your original mention of loneliness and madness because just this morning I talked aloud to absolutely no one about how metallic my coffee tasted this morning, and what I should do about it, etc. ;) I haven't started creating imaginary friends yet, tho, so that's good ;) But last night I was feeling lonely in bed so I cuddled with my Eeyore; animals of the "stuffed" variety being better than nothing at all ;)
