Help me raise money get a psychiatric service dog to stay safe! I live with Severe Depression, Major Anxiety, Extreme Panic Disorder, and Acute Stress. When I’ve reached the peak of an episode I’m unable to move, open my eyes, breathe accordingly, my chest, legs, arms, hands, and neck lock up, leaving me immobile and frozen. These episodes affect my daily life, they’ve hit at the worst times; driving, working, walking, eating. Unintentionally, I put others, along with myself, in danger. Just recently, I’ve been to the ER about 4 times and have gone to the clinic another 5 times. Since the start of 2026. I realized I can’t get through it alone, especially as a young adult who wants to experience the world. The purpose of this is so I can afford to adopt a furry friend who can ground me, alert me of the episodes, and guide me to safety. Unfortunately, training programs are waitlisted and tend to take a while, and I don’t have the funds to pay for a service dog on my own. So I’m asking for help to bring a trained friend who can make my safer and more comfortable. Your support no matter how small will help gain safety, peace of mind, and even independence (as I’m currently watched over and monitored for my safety by loved ones ). Please share or donate, everything and anything counts.
