Thank you everyone for you input. Sorry I've been slow to respond. I've been caught up in a lot of stuff. I've not been doing well. I've had a lot going on. I just felt a sudden shift in my mood about 20 minutes ago again actually. I really hate this. It's getting so much worse than it used to be.
Anyway, I see my therapist on Wednesday, Im going to ask him about the dog...see if he can write a letter stating the need for one, or if I need to get one from an actual p-doc.
Thanks again guys!
