My Sweet Pea (kitty) is vital to my stability. We snuggle and play. He helps me fall asleep at night, nuzzled up next to me. I adore him. Sometimes I feel like a 'cat lady' but just with the one kitty.
I think an untrained pet can be an enormous help. I would consider, in your shoes, getting a pet you love and see how that works.
