I have infrequent meltdowns which most of the time I can recover from after about an hour or so. Unfortunately today I had a bad panic/anxiety attack at work and an ambulance had to be called for as I passed out. I had to be taken home in the ambulance ( Read more... )

So, just this week I got the go ahead from my psychiatrist to try a service dog for my depression, anxiety, and panic attacks in public.

Last week I couldn't get rid of depression and hopelessness about the situation. Now, when the works are almost finished, this irrational anxiety is killing me ( Read more... )
