Service animal?

Post by Kismet »

My anxiety, especially due to fear of medical issues coming on, has made it harder and harder to leave the house. I have read/heard psychiatric service dog would help me stay calm and may be good. Problem is I don't like dogs. I know I can get emotional support animal that isn't dog, but they don't have same rights as service dog. And since I'm also physically disabled service dog/animal would be better. Suggestions? Anyone have service animal?

I'm so sorry that you have these mountains to climb - I am useless in that I have no advise -

I just wanted to say welcome -

And for what it is worth I think you may be surprised with a service dog - they have a totally different demeanor than an untrained dog - they live to do what you need them to do - they will be a calm presence for you and a comfort when you need them - Just a thought
Just another messed up chick, who hates her body and face, and voice, and thinks she is useless and her stuff isn't that bad and she should get over it.
