Re: checking in
@NatureLover I used to have a dog, it helped me a lot having one, helped keep me safe, my dog ended up with the ex, and circumstances.
I can't have a dog where I live right now.
Shelter dogs yes, but i get bad anxiety when I leave the house and bad anxiety and paranoia around people, especially if I don't know them

Re: checking in
Maybe walking shelter dogs as @NatureLover suggested is a thought for later when you feel up to it. If there any close enough. I still get paranoid when I volunteer and at times can only be slightly useful, other times I am better, but hey with volunteering, they are grateful for your time.
@Lee71if you can make your room a bit more cosy for you, it might help.

Re: checking in
Dont worry about the thread. @Lee71
I found my memory was terrible when I was constantly totally overwhelmed. My words came out wrong andmy sentences were muddled. I never thought I would get the good things about my brain back, but this year gradually learning music again.

I'm very sorry to read that your dog had to go with the ex. 😞
Am also sorry that you have such bad anxiety around people...and with leaving the house. I hadn't realised. @Lee71
Maybe walking shelter dogs would be possible later, at some stage...once you pick up the dog, there are no other people around. If not, then I hope something with dogs will be possible, anyway.
@Appleblossom you're right about Lee's introductory posts mentioning dogs 🙂 I had forgotten.

Re: checking in
@NatureLoverbeing around people and going out is hard for me, don't like change. That's why when I see it therapist or doc I like it to be same day every week same time.
You have to go soon?

OK, I hear you, Lee. ❤
I'm glad in that case that your therapist will be back on the usual day this week, on a Tuesday? @Lee71
Yes, time got away from me, and I'm sorry I forgot to say how long I would be around. I'll be here for another 15 minutes or so.
