New Job, New Dog, I Am Healing

It is with pleasure that I share two healing threads in my life:
1) I adopted a rescue dog. It has been 3 years since I had a dog, and her sweet presence is a constant source of support and joy. RECOMMEND.
2) New job, working from home full-time, is hard but far less disruptive than my last position. It is a struggle to keep anxiety at bay, but that is my lot in life -- constantly firing adrenaline, telling me there is an emergency when there is no threat.

It is odd to heal. It feels vaguely uncomfortable, like where is that rat's nest of horrible unsolvable problems? Where did that go? Is it coming back? NO NO NO

53 years old, C-PTSD, getting it together before I hit sixty!!
 
@cupfish . More than WOOOOFFF. Dr. appointment and had to run. My dog saves my life everyday, and would be beyond coping without her. I am actively trying to work within the service dog world (find one where I can deal with my physical and PTSD issues.) You inspire me good news is not easy to come by at times here. Well done. Belly rubs to both of you.
 
You are all awesome. Don't get me wrong, there is still a ton of internal freakout about many many work situations, but I can't indulge it anymore because I learn NOTHING from those terrifying signals. Seriously the dog is a big part of it. Unconditional love, attention, a way to get me out of my own head. Hope you all have peaceful and productive weeks, and if you feel bad, chocolate. Yes, trauma therapy should include chocolate. xxx
