Recently I have been diagnosed with severe social anxiety disorder as well as panic attacks. So my psychiatrist prescribed me a new medication and has written mw a note allowing me to use my dog tonk as my service dog when out in public. He helps a lot...I'm still shaky and antsy when anywhere in public but tonk distracts me from worrying so much about the people and worrying more about him and myself...he gives me confidence in a public setting and stays close when I have a panic attack. He is my savior. Here he is in his vest although you cannot see the other half of it with his service badges on it.

Dogs can be the best support! I have had problems with anxiety and panic attacks for over ten years now, and my own dog has helped me tons. I was scared of driving for the longest time, and I couldn't just drag a friend with me every time I wanted to go out, but Cookie always wants to be with me anyway, so it worked out for both of us!
It's nice to hear someone else appreciating that support, and I'm glad your doc is helping you out too! Hang in there - it gets better! Being appreciative of the support you already have is the best start too. :3
