PTSD Making Life Difficult

RichardRichard

Hey everyone,
Living with PTSD hasn’t been easy. Some days are manageable, but other days even small triggers can completely ruin everything.

My pet has been a huge emotional support for me during those times. Without that presence, things feel a lot harder.

But my housing doesn’t allow pets, and it’s adding more stress to an already difficult situation.

Has anyone dealt with this before?

    I've been through this too! Have you looked into registering your pet as a support animal? Thank you so much!
