I am thinking about getting pets as companions but given that IB ppl are hard to have a life... How do you all manage if you have pet(s)? Any advice or suggestions? Plz don't suggest "don't get a pet" because they're very important to my mental state lol
P.S. silver bananas and monkey sh*t are very appreciated because I need them to post anon

Get a cat. They wont care you are gone for 16+ hours a day. Ideally, do not get a kitten because they need more attention. Go to your local SPCA and I'm sure they will be happy to set you up with an older cat. Change its litter box every day, and make sure you feed it before you leave and when you get home. Do not get a high maintenance animal like a Border Collie
