I'm convinced that the therapy dog's primary role is to help create a sense of calm in the therapist - secondarily for the patient.

My little guy has even taken over my chair.

Find your stress relief today and nurture the heck out of yourself.

Create a virtual or real backpack to help with anxiety and depression. Use something from your backpack every day to boost your sense of well being and reduce dread and fear. This is not a cure all and does not replace counseling or medication when needed. If you have suggestions or things that work for you, help others by posting a comment. A few things that help me: 1. Find affirmations through google or Pinterest and write them down. I like positive, funny and even sarcastic ones. 2. Go to build a bear and let the little kid inside you create your own cuddly animal. 3. Practice calming breaths a few times a day.

End of the week thought.....

Having anxiety and depression is like being scared and tired at the same time. It's the fear of failure but no urge to feel productive. It's wanting friends with no energy to socialize. It's caring about everything and then caring about nothing.
