I was diagnosed with PTSD due to my son 18-yr-old committing suicide and me getting to him while he was alive, a month and half later my father died from cancer, 3 years after that while my then fiance and I were living with his elderly father (had terminal COPD and dementia) because he needed someone to keep an eye on him, he committed suicide by shooting himself when we were downstairs and I performed CPR thinking he had a heart attack as I did not see the bullet wound. A week later my husband's brother committed suicide and a year after that my mother in law died of cancer. I have suffered from depression, anxiety, panic and flashbacks to the point that the only places I go by myself is to work and to doctor's appointments. Recently I acquired a PTSD service dog and since having her I have done things that I have not done in a number of years, going to the zoo by myself, going to a sit in restaurant by myself, to a movie by myself. My therapist agrees that having the dog is good for me, but he doesn't believe I need to take her to work with me. I have had flashbacks at work and panic attacks where I left abruptly to go to my therapist. I work at a children's psychiatric center as a crisis admissions coordinator, so pretty stressful at times. I informed my supervisor that I have PTSD and he makes a comment that he thought only vets got PTSD. I informed him differently. I then asked how would it go over if I requested to have my dog at work with me and he told me that it would not go well. According to him, the "higher ups" keep an eye on me due to my past/present emotional state. I am on medication of course, but there are times when things "pop up" and I start crying... in my office with the door closed, but I have people coming in and out and someone always go and tells my supervisor and she comes and asks me if i can handle the job... yes i am handling the job.... just having an emotional moment. I guess my question would be... should I push to be able to bring my dog to work with me? She is very reactive to me when I get upset and alerts me when I start to panic. what do yall think?
