Help Sarah get a Psychiatric Service Dog

Hi, my name is Sarah and I am raising money so I can get a psychiatric service dog. Many psychiatrists have  recommended that I get one to improve my quality of life and lessen the suffering I endure due to my mental illnesses. I have multiple diagnoses consisting of Borderline Personality Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Seasonal Affective Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Persistent Depressive Disorder (dysthymia). A psychiatric service dog could help assist me when I am having traumatic flashbacks of past abuse/assault, panic attacks and assist me when I suffer with these things when I am out in public. I love dogs, as most people know and having a companion would really lift my mood. Having a dog would help me leave the house, which I struggle to do now due to my low mood and energy, assist me while I am at school and more. There are many different tasks a psychiatrist service dog can help me with.

Traditional treatments such as therapy and medications have not been consistent in helping me with treating mental illnesses. I am in pain all the time and in so much pain that I consider taking my life at times. I know if I had a dog I would be able to stick around and start enjoying life. This is something that is very important to me. Having a dog would benefit me when it comes to grounding techniques such as petting the dog's fur to ground myself while I am having a PTSD flashback or panic attack. The psychiatric service dog will be trained to tailor to my needs specifically so it can best support me and what I need when I am in crisis
