Hi @Yeahright86 Sorry to hear you are going through this, it must be very tough. I too suffered from anxiety and depression for a long time. I can relate to and feel your pain. I could not go near large crowds or hear loud noises it triggered a panic attack.

I am glad you have your dog (best friend) with you, animals are great companions, caring and compassionate, they can feel what we feel. I can understand too well the feeling of being next to someone rude and mean, I used to just walk away, and only make friends with people who understood me and made me happy. You deserve to be happy and liked, and be friends with good kind people who understand you and treat you well, because you matter!

Please don't be too hard on yourself, engage in activities that bring you joy. Going for a walk with your dog is a very good activity. Wishing you all the happiness you deserve, take care.
