Thank you for that explanation! Aside from my extreme dizzy spells I often get where I'll have to quickly get myself in a safe position so I don't blackout and hurt myself (mostly unrelated to my anxiety unless it happens as a result of a panic attack) I don't really need any real tasks performed. I was just wondering about that because I didn't know what psych dogs do, beyond just essentially providing that comfort and security. I'm sure when we do get a dog, it will end up benefitting me regardless, anyway. My agoraphobia is getting better now that I've settled in more here, luckily.
Getting pretty antsy not having a dog again, though.
