I have never done this before so I hope this is where I post questions and things.
My roommate and his dog, Morgan, just moved out after 7 months, mainly because I am not allowed to have dogs in my apartment building. Morgan and I have been attached at the hip for 7 months, and I miss him horribly. I relied on him for company at home and to ease my anxiety in social situations. I have been doing some reading about Emotional Support Dogs (ESD) and am wondering if they have to have special training to be in an apartment building that doesn't allow dogs (it's government subsidized housing). I plan to ask my doctor about ESDs when I see her, but am hoping to find some good information to give her just in case.
Things have just been really hard because of the holidays and because I have a vacation from school for 5 weeks. I have nothing to get me out of the house and my routine is falling apart. My psychiatrist and I are also in the process of changing my meds, so I just can't tell what is actually causing my depressive symptoms.
