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.
