Hello!
I have started a gofundme so I can get a Service Dog. Now before you click away thinking "oh this girl is just asking for money" give me a moment to explain my situation.
I have PTSD and it makes it really hard to go out and do social things. This means, among other things, that I do not get to go out and game in a live setting. I tried before, but I would get too nervous and end up dissociating, meaning I kind of go into my head and look down on myself. Kind of like if you were scrying, but on yourself...
If you know of or have PTSD, you will know that it is a difficult disorder to live with. Though I am in bi-weekly couseling sessions, I still cannot go to the groery store without my husband... Honestly I cant really go anywhere without my husband. And if we do, I can only stay for a limited time.
What the Service Dog will allow me to do is to go out of he house and have a safety net. The dog, after it is properly trained, will be able to alert me when I am about to or having a panic attack. It wil also block other people from getting too close to me by standing behind me. It will alert me when there is a person coming up behind me, and, most importantly, will help me stay grounded, or stay in my body and not get trapped in that uncomfortable fog.
I hope that you can find it in your hearts to give what you can, but if you cannot give any money, and even if you can, it would be MEGA helpful if you could share my gofundme page with your friends and family.
Thank you for your consideration. I appriciate anything you can give. Even if it is just a moment of your time, I am very grateful to you!
