Triggered Yesterday

[mytai]

Sorry that you're having a rough time right now @Echo. I really hope that you are able to find some comfort to get your bearings back.

 

[Echo]

I'm sorry that Chelsea wouldn't qualify as a support dog for you. Some people find anything to complain about, don't they? Would they say the same if she was a guide dog for the blind or a hearing dog?!

 

[mytai]

@Echo, if she was a legitimate service dog, even if they said something they couldn't prevent me from having her there.

I've been debating on and off whether to apply for a service dog, whether I really need one. I know I would benefit from one, especially with dissociation but I also feel guilty about applying and potentially taking one away from another person with PTSD. I know it is up to the organization to decide whether I "need" a service dog or not. It's also a year long wait.

 

[Echo]

I suppose Chelsea helps you with some things just by being there, but otherwise you've as much right to a service dog as anyone else.

I just got home and I'm calling the police. I went to my car and someone left a beer bottle right next to the front drivers side. It may be nothing, I may be over reacting. But he hit me in the face with a beer bottle almost two weeks ago. If it isn't nothing then this is a very clear threat and it scared me. I took a picture of and left immediately.

 

[Echo]

Please do call the police. :hug: @mytai

 

[mytai]

They said that they would send a message to the investigation officer to let him know about it.

 

[Echo]

Keep very safe in the meantime. I hope you hear from him shortly.

 

[Echo]

@mytai, hope all is ok with you?

 

[mytai]

@Echo, I'm alive. Today that seems like a major accomplishment. I tried to get an update about the investigation but I have to wait for the officer who is dealing with it gets in at 5pm, which means I will have already seen my T. I see her in 20 minutes.

I'm ready to pull my hair out today. It's just one of those days.

 

[Echo]

How frustrating for you! Good grief, the police don't move very fast - what is the matter with them? Hope you get good news or at least SOME news when you do finally speak to this officer.

@mytai, please do let us know when you get an update.

Hugs to you and hopes for a good session.
