Emotional Assist/ mans best friend

Wednesday 11.09.05 [3:50 pm]

Those who know me know I have suffered depression PTSD and so on since my move To RI I wont say it is all gone of coarse not but it is 80 percent better well I think one reason is the love I found with my husband but I also have to say over time since I have had more pets and more responsibility I worry what would happen to him or my pets if I gave up on me and the more I feel better the more I play with my pets especially the dogs I find how much more happy I feel which keeps me up and focussed I think about even before I met my husband How often my tears Soaked my dogs forehead and how I would smile with her licks to my cheeks making me feel so much better our newest pup is so full of energy so I still have my other dog who so shows her love through hugs and kisses and the new pup when I cry climbs all over me kisses brings toys and just wants me to feel better they really do care you know.

well I came across info on emotional assistance dogs and couldn't stop reading you can get tags now that allow them to the same places as seeing eye and hearing dogs for now depression most important is you can have them in apartments that dont allow dogs so many people with depression PTSD and other mental health issues have for so long not been allowed the benefits of pets do to apartments not allowing them I think this is so wonderful to help with therapy and recovery I think it is the most wonderful thing in helping mental health
