been a very long time, at some point I will try and update everybody but here's the short version.
As some of you know I was divorced, and I move to Nova Scotia which is my home. In the time I've been home I have found my true love and I am remarried.
On the other hand, I had some rough times and wound up pretty much having a total mental breakdown. I have been diagnosed with extreme social anxiety, complex PTSD, As well as OC PD, currently I am in therapy for all of the above and have been working closely with both a counselor, and a psychiatrist who specialize in these disorders.
One of the things we have talked about in depth is a therapy dog, I do have a dog who helps me a lot, however she is not suited for the type of therapy work that would involve taking her places.
One of the reasons I came back here was I was hoping that maybe somebody here has experienced similar issues and worked with a service dog. As I don't really know where to start.
I look forward to any advice any of you can offer.
