last week my gp diagnosed me with depression and i think anxiety - although it maybe the meds side effects?
I am a SAHM with a 22mth old and 2 older DC's in school. I was wondering if getting a dog would help get me out more rather then curling up on the sofa and staring into space!
im not a holiday person and dont really like going out alot so i know i wont have to worry about it being left alone. when im over my local field (2 minute walk away) with DD we always like to greet the dogs and they do seem to put a smile on my face.
would it be a good idea or would i be putting more stress on myself?
any one with similar experience?
If you're worried about your pet's health, please speak to a vet or qualified professional.
