I'm overwhelmed with my anxiety 💔

...See more I've dealt with anxiety for years now and I had a dog that helped me battle my anxiety daily. I got married last year in August and had to leave my dog with my mom. I couldn't take him with me because my husband and I are living with his family and they don't allow any animals inside. I use to live with my mom until I got married. They really don't understand how badly I need my dog to help me cope. Changing where I live and not being able to have my dog with me everyday is really affecting my health badly. I've spoken to them about it and they refuse to allow us to bring a dog inside. My husband and I can't rent because we only have one income, from his job. I'm in school and he wants me to not worry about working until I graduate. I really just feel so hopeless because we haven't gotten anything saved just yet because we keep having one financial problem happen after another. I'm happy to be married, but I'm completely miserable with my situation! I lay awake at night for hours just thinking constantly. When I finally fall asleep all I have are nightmares and I wake up all throughout the night. I have no peace at anytime in my day. I can't get away from my anxiety and it's only getting worse without my dog helping me cope with it. I literally feel like I'm drowning and nobody understands... no matter how much I try to explain it to them... 💔
