Personality Disorders Community Check-in: August 21-27
Hello, PD Support Community!!
I hope everyone has been keeping well. Sending Good Vibes and Best Wishes your Way.
Caring for a Pet helps us identify a role that is meaningful to ourselves and to our Pet.
Pets help us with interpersonal skills. They are superior Listeners.
Pets don’t get offended, they adjust and will continue to be affectionate.

“Happiness is a warm puppy.” – Charles Schultz
For me. There have been some stressful days where my pet will come in and lay up against me.The sensation of my pet just melts away the stress. And when I am petting my pet, the sensation of the fur against the palm of my hand is almost magical.
There have been days where I know I wasn’t a very good person. I look over at my pet and the compassion I see in my pets eyes. It is amazing. And it's towards me. Me. Even though I feel I don’t always deserve it.
My pet is a pleasant and kind reminder that I can be a better person.

Hello there Sunshine!
Sorry to hear that your son wouldn't benefit for a dog presence. Sending good vibes for you both ❤️
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful I have a son (5) on the spectrum too. So I understand; He would terrorize it! Haha - But really though, I've started to look up stuff on support dogs for autism and stuff like that. I'm not sure how he'd do.
@xmoonsie16x0
Hello there!
yes i've heard about dogs that help people with different health issues, sometimes also horses in specific centres are used to help with autism .
Sending you good vibes!
@Barltik2065 Your dog looks so awesome! :)
🐾 How do you feel? Been dealing with a pretty deep depression
🐾 What other ways can Pets make positive impacts on our lives? They help with anxiety and stress. Just that unconditional love they bring
🐾 Do you have Pets? How are your interactions with your pet? I have a few but the dog is the chosen one :) Problem is - she's pretty old. She used to help alot with the anxiety and stress but now - I hate to say it but she adds to it :(
@mytwistedsoul
Thank you so much.
I enjoy sharing my dog
Sorry to hear with the Depression.
There is something so magical about Pets. I am sorry to hear your pet is adding to the issues.
Sending comfort

🐾 How do you feel?.... Feeling good and accomplished today.
🐾 What other ways can Pets make positive impacts on our lives?.....Pets are just a great thing all around. Having mine is like having another member of the family. Having my dog is like having a "best-bud" to Pal-around with. They help to get you up and moving! They are great exercise partners, great for walking with, running with, or just playing around the house. They are a great 'shoulder' when you need one. As they know and sense when you aren't yourself. And they show how much they care about you!
🐾 Do you have Pets?.... How are your interactions with your pet?....As stated above, YES I have a pet. I have a small dog. And he's my little "Pal". I take him "almost" everywhere I go. He helps in keeping me active when I'm having a "lazy-day". And he's been a comfort to have all this time. We even have Birthday parties for him (with Doggie-cake & presents)! He's one of the family~ :)

"He's one of the family~ :)"

Today I am feeling productive and energetic.
I have 1 dog and my partner has 2, so we're a larger blended pack! I love how my dog knows when I'm reaching overwhelm. He will gently nudge me or lay his head on me to get my attention. It's always comforting to have him near. In my deepest depression, he has been my reason to keep going. They're our pets, and they are so much more. ❤️

"They're our pets, and they are so much more. ❤️"
They are attentive to our every need.
2. Personally, I love all animals. They make me happy, at one point i had 3 cats, a snake and a bearded dragon. They all served their purpose and they were all equally loved by me
3. Yes, I have a cat. His name is Equinox Juniper or Noxy for short. He always cuddles me, when I have switched out/dissociated, he comes to aid me in feeling less brain foggy and more affectionate.

@Barltik2065 Thanks for doing this week's check-in for us. Pets are absolute gifts to us and they are so full of love. They just love unconditionally and I love them. I have a soft spot for animals. Dogs are my favorite but I own cats. I just have never brought myself to getting another dog after losing the best dog ever many years ago, so cats it is. I also have a box turtle and love him too. Pets just bring joy to my life. <3 This week I am doing ok. I am currently on a very much needed self-care break to get my mental health together, but just reactivated just now so I could check my messages and notifications. I really appreciate this check-in and am grateful for it. <3
