I have a major anxiety disorder. However, it seems that it has been really put into check by dogs. Pictures of dogs or a dog right next instantly provides calming effect to me that end the anxiety attack. Mediciation does help a lot, but a combination of medication and K-9 allows me to achieve peace of mind.
Today, I had to deal with social anxiety from hiking with a group of strangers that I did not know. In reality, it was something that I used to do all of the time, but since my car got totalled due to an accident, I have not drive a car.
It was a gorgeous day to be outside! And dogs are truly soothing. Can you have one of your own? Much love xoxo
