Dear,
I need your help.
Many of you may not know it, but I’m sick. Mentally ill. For 4 years I have been living in the darkest period of my life. And when I thought it couldn’t get darker, it did. I am chronically depressed. I’m struggling with PTSD, personality issues, and autism, which is still being researched. I haven’t been able to work for 3 years. And since then, there’s very little left of me. I no longer live, I survive. I exhausted 10 practitioners in those years. My therapies aren’t working or I’m too sensitive to seizures to start. The clinic has become my second home. And as for the drugs… I seem immune.
There were very dark times that I thought I’d never get out of… But I’m still standing.
I found a bright spot. A sort of last hope. Not only that, but together with a four-legged hero. A psychosocial assistance dog. This dog can help me regain control of my life. A friend I can build on. The dog can take me out of memories and dissociations. Identify overstimulation and respond to it. Together with this friend I can go back to society step by step and little by little and start living instead of surviving. But all this does not come without costs… Unfortunately, a psychosocial assistance dog is not reimbursed by the municipality. It costs a lot of money to train a guide dog…
Do you want to help me make life livable again for me? Preferably through a donation, any small (and large) part is more than welcome! And for the rest you’re doing us a great favor by sharing this post. The future puppy and I are infinitely grateful to you.
Lots of love,
Lyanne
