Hey everyone! I am just starting here and I really need advice. I've only had one dog before in my life. She recently passed away and I was devastated, and I felt like getting a new dog would help. So, after a lot of research and money spent, I adopted a puppy. The difference this time is that...

Hi there. Let me start by saying that I am fully aware that anxiety can cause all sorts of symptoms. I've been dealing with anxiety for close to 10 years. For the most part, I am able to control it. But whenever a symptom comes along, it sends me through a downward spiral. It started with...
