Anybody else ignoring Yom Kippur this year?

As the title says. I knew I wouldn’t fast because I’m pregnant in my 1st trimester and I already feel like shit. I’ve always found the day and the prayers meaningful otherwise. But right now, I’m dealing with the emotions around the pregnancy (I’m thrilled to be pregnant but also terrified to move wrong) and my cat is sick. I know the sick cat thing sounds silly, but she’s my soul-cat and she basically will not eat so I’ve been spending the last week in and out of the vet trying different things and trying to hand feed her treats and it’s not looking good. It’s been an emotional rollercoaster and I know she’s a 21 year old cat, which is a miracle in itself, but I’m emotionally trashed. Add in regular family stress, my SIL’s wedding is next week, my job is going to kill me if I don’t actually do something other than lay on the floor with my cat or stay in bed eating saltines. These are stupid problems.

Anyway, given all of the above, I can’t imagine meaningfully engaging in the Yom Kippur experience, let alone getting dressed and going to synagogue and seeing people. I just don’t have the emotional capacity for anything beyond the excitement for the baby, the grief of the cat, and the incredible stress of all of that. I’m essentially ignoring the day. I’m not religious (atheist/secular/whatever) so I don’t feel guilty about it in the religious sense, but I don’t know, I feel kind of alone. Maybe we can use this post to commiserate?
