I have been on my new medications now for a few days. Things are definitely getting better. I'm not so out of control anymore. I know that I am nowhere near a sold baseline yet. But I am also realizing that I feel much better than only a few days ago.
I am thinking about researching getting a certified service dog. I have some difficulties with mobility and think that a well trained dog could help me. The biggest thing is I think with a dog around my ptsd symptoms might be less severe. I can rely on the dog rather than be hyper vigilant.
Besides when people see you with a dog. They generally leave you alone. I'm not sure the steps to take on this. It would be for more than just the physical help. I've put two dogs down in the last few years. I also had to give my last one up because he wasn't certified. I really think this adds a lot to my depression.

I'm going to discuss this in my next group meeting. In my current living situation. I can't have a dog unless it is certified.
I felt it important to write the last blog and this one. So that the variables of my frustrations can be shared.
