I deal with PTSD and bi-polar every day, sometimes from minute to minute. I thought I was nuts or mistaken when I noticed I didn't need as much medication and felt better snuggling with my dogs. I was more relaxed and didn't have the night terrors as often, I didn't "wake up" huddled in my closet any more, and my room mate didn't have to shout my name or duck before coming into my room. Even though I'm not a Vet it's comforting to know I'm not alone.

I live with a disabled veteran - PTSD is part of it - My dogs have always made a differeince and especially his heart dog, Trouble - I too have PTSD - I don't like, but have tried drugs to help - the best help ever has been my dogs! God bless our vets and thank you for rescuing dogs and giving them a good home and purpose!
