hey everyone i just had a few quick questions. umm where to start i have severe post traumatic stress disorder, a history of black outs with self mutilation and bad anxiety and panic attacks associated with a diffrent metal illness (nothing bad) a touch of OCD and a blown knee. I have a small dog trained to alert me when someone approaches me if im zoning out or not currently focused. because if someone startles me it can trigger flash backs and a bad episode that can leave me how do you say messed up for several hours if not days. he is trained to get help when i black out (its obvious) or attempt self mutilation. he is also trainied to get my attention if i am focusing on something to long * i can stare into a mirror and find a flaw in my skin or something and convince my self its some illness) and get me to do something else ie play or go for a walk. walk me during nightmares caused by the PTSD. and allow me to focus on him when i am out in huge crowds so i can do what i have to do. he is also trained to retrieve my cell phone when and if i fall. from around my house or from my purse. * i have fallen down a flight of cememnt steps in the past out side at night thanks to him i was able to call family and have someone come and get me.* i am 22 and thanks to him i am no able to go out do errands and such alone. i dont need to be escorted every where. several friends have told me to visit my doctor * also an intense fear of the drs so i have to be escorted and my family hopes with taking him i will be able to attend the doctors alone without spiking my blood pressure* and see if my dog can be classified as a service dog as without him . i cant go out alone. i have 2 weeks until my mother no longer has a week day off. im going back to school (online) and would love to be able to take him with me so i can attend regualr classes and such. i just want to know what people think he is classified as. i have had diffrent comments from a PSD to a SD to a ESA. i dont classify him as an ESA as he is trained for several diffrent things
