I live on my own.
I'm considering getting a pet. I know that it's a responsibility, but I crave connection.
Have any of you found getting a pet helpful ?
Hello.
Yes I found getting a dog very helpful. I used to be really anxious and couldn't go out by myself and then I got a lovely golden retriever called Reya and she gives me that extra boost of confidence.
We go out together for walks and to be in nature and it's a great time always. I still feel a little anxious but I'm able to go outside with Reya without having a panic attack.
She's also good company and my best friend.
I'm not saying a dog would be right for you - you might rather a cat, a bird, a gerbil - but it's definitely something for you to think about.
