Ahhhh having mine in a few hours ready for results, bring out the fainting!

I cannot go to school or work without having a panic attack my meds don’t really do anything it makes me sick and it literally burned a hole through my stomach and my panic attacks wouldn’t allow me to breath

I hope you will make more videos soon.

The social security definition stuff is off to me. As someone with severe OCD that quite literally is considered a disability in the sense that it takes HOURS out of my life every single day, acting out on my obsessions and fixating on intrusive thoughts, prevents me from leaving my home a lot, and taking care of myself in certain ways. it’s very hard for people with ocd to prove their symptoms and qualify for these benefits. Cause you can develop it from genetic predisposition and from your home environment as a kid. I really don’t think it’s fair to say someone can’t have a PSD if they can’t qualify for benefits. Meds don’t always help, they don’t for me, and CBT can only go so far. Not everyone has an infinite amount of money or help from family to to not work and get medical care because of their disability all the time. I have to work from home because I have a hard time leaving my house, but I still make money because I don’t have my bills paid for by anyone else. And personally, I’m not the type who wants other people paying for my own issues… It’s not other peoples problem I can’t stop focusing on dumb shit and do weird rituals all the time. Training my own service dog and raising dogs in general has personally been the best therapy for my OCD out of anything I’ve tried because it constantly teaches me to not view every single little thing obsessively and to be less controlling of my home environment because dogs are living unpredictable beings that make messes and get sick and leave hair everywhere I just have to get used to because I love them. They encourage me to leave my house more because it’s more than what’s just for myself and what I’m comfortable with. Idk I just feel like this video is coming from a very inexperienced perspective in the sense that you don’t work and have had your disability from a young age and clearly had the help and resources you needed to diagnose and own a service dog while not having to work. I’m 22 and my OCD rapidly developed around 19 but I never had parents who took my health seriously and forget about having help paying for doctors. I paid to go for two years and I’d rather pay for my SD health than that because it helps me more than meds and CBT. when I was a teen and had my panic attacks feeling like I was drowning and that people were trying to kidnap me all the time I still had to go to school and I still have to power through what I can in present time. So I’ll respond to your controversial take with my own… I really don’t understand why people with debilitating anxiety who don’t work or go out public much as result think it’s ok tell others if it’s ok for them to have a service dog or not when not everyone has that option to not work or stay out of public. If your dog can pass a public access test, is task trained, and the handler knows how to act around other SD handlers, why in the hell should anyone have a say about other peoples illnesses or disabilities. You’re talking about all these increasing numbers of anxiety dogs minimizing people who have debilitating anxiety dogs, but in doing that it’s minimizing the people who literally don’t have many options in how they go about mitigating their disabilities.

I am 10 but I have a throwback with like robotics are you but I am going to school I’m on my way sorry fifth grade almost 6 I have a service dog in training for not wanting to go to school and I also don’t like going into restaurants, bother me and etc.

I have a service dog in training to be a dog because of me not wanting to go to school or on Menomonee restaurants, etc.

I’m having mine next week. Problem is I have 2 knee tendons missing from my left leg. Standing in one place for more than a few mins is something I never do. This is not a true to life test. Normal circumstances wouldn’t have you in this situation.

Am I eligible for a service dog? I am able to go to school but I get such severe anxiety that I skip all my classes and refuse to go into specific classes, I will hide in the bathroom or the counselors office to get out of class and there's this one girl in my class that if she's in there I will have a breakdown and cannot go to that class for the rest of the semester by skipping. Would I be able to qualify for a service dog since I am unable to learn in some capacity?

I have used so many meds and therapy and coping and counseling and NOTHING works and almost everyday I have a panic attack and it makes me unable to do life things I can’t do normal life things and this post took a lot out of me 😂😭

I have an appointment for this test but I found a doctor specializing in POTS that gave me instructions to do the at home test accurately. I meet the criteria but not diagnosed yet as I am still in testing for other possibilities. If everything comes back normal then I will get the diagnosis.

Some trainers train one dog for both protection and service work and I can not find anything in ADA law that says it's not allowed. Are you willing to show us where it states that?

This entire video was made to help validate your own personal reason and guilt around having a service animal …and to invalidate everyone else’s 😅 scared of school buildings…really? That sounds pretty serious. Assuming you were actually going to attend school and get a good job with that unicorn hair huh

Where did you buy the harness? I have been trying to find a yup harness with handle.

Doesn’t it get frustrating that so many people claim that “oh, I have such bad anxiety!” when they are really just nervous?

kids that have not been on medication are lucky im pretty much a lab rat

It depends on the situation. You can still work, but there are some areas you can’t do without it triggering u.

I think it’s incredibly unfair to say that if someone is going to work then their anxiety isn’t disabling. Some of us can’t afford to not work, and the intense fear of becoming homeless out weighs the severe anxiety caused by working. I also don’t agree with gatekeeping service dogs. It doesn’t matter how severe a disability is, if a service dog can increase your independence and quality of life then you should be able to seek one. Disabilities are disabilities, regardless of how much more “worse” someone else has it. To my severe anxiety people, you are valid❤

My family members have been like "y would u train a service dog u don't seem disablied u seem fine", meanwhile they know perfectly well that I avoid literally everything and always have. And knowing the fact that there have been multiple points in my life where ever going somewhere I'm required to be, such as school, (middle school especially was a serious issue for me), where I could not go. I would get sick, or start crying, etc. It got to the point where I was unable to go to school at all by 8th grade, and my parents still did nothing other than decide to just homeschool me. I've tried therapy, other methods, etc, now and its basically doing absolutely nothing. I hate when ppl say "oh i get nervous sometimes too" or something along those lines. Because If i just "get nervous" i will 99 percent of the time end up going to the bathroom hiding or panicking and trying to hide it. A lot of people don't realize the difference between anxiety and I cannot function anxiety. <3

I had a different experience and I'm down to share. I live in the UK, Northern Ireland specifically. Mine started the same, strapped to table with some electrodes but I didn't have anything on my back, only bp monitor was a manual cuff on one arm that was taken every 5 minutes . 10 minutes of measurement for baseline before the first tilt, I moved upright in a few intervals with time in-between rather than all at once, it moved so slowly I personally had no dizziness at all .I was told not to talk at all,not even about symptoms.I didn't receive any medication or have an IV placed . I didn't end up getting a diagnosis but the more I look the more I see the test I had is very different to other people's. I felt no dizziness during my test and nearly lost my balance standing after putting my boots back on My resting is usually around 70 to 80 , apparently my tilt table never went over 100, I wear a tracker at home and I regularly hit the 130s when sitting from lying or standing from sitting .

1:58 my word that was hilarious, he said "hmmmmm" as if he was intrigued 😆💀❤️

i dont know

Where did you learn to train this pup? So amazing!!!!

Well I'm going to say something wrong about this video even though it's a little old I'm a kid and I've had service dogs all my life and a couple of them I've had trained by myself the reason that being is that service dogs are very expensive when they're professionally trained so when a kid actually needs a service dog it's actually really good for them to be able to train it by themselves it does not mean that they're fake service Dog Handlers I was 15 when I trained my own service dog❤

I have one in 5 days do you have to take any medicine or anything during this I think o know why I’m getting dizzy and stuff now I had a ct scan and they found out that I have a slipped disc in my neck I also been dignosed with coscohdrites also where my chest hurts and trouble breathing

Can we decline the nitroglycerin? I don’t want any medications, especially nitro. My BP is already low. That will tank me WAY too low

Some people aren't being stopped from going to work simply because if they didn't it would make the anxiety even worse because they wouldn't have any form of income they would lose their house and become homeless having a service dog can help a look and if it does go for it your gatekeeping extremely hard

I was self diagnosed for many years self diagnosis is very valid

Thank You so much for Sharing Your Procedure, I seen one video from this one person and it was a horror Story, I was not going to have a Tilt Table test but after I’ve seen Yours I’ll go through it except I won’t take the nitroglyceron, My headaches are extremely bad anyway, Thanks and I Pray that You will get over POTS, it’s a terrible Disease or is for Me, it’s taken My life, I’m in bed 24/7 or in My Transition Chair 😔. But I can’t even sit for very long or stand

So I understand the stopping but what if you are stuck with someone who drags you either way both mentally and physically and your just stuck their and you are having serious issues not doing anything and family just lets you sit their while your out even though you didn’t bring yourself out someone else did? Like what would that count as? Just curious?

getting this done next week and i’m glad the nitroglycerin didn’t taste like anything to you because I too would have felt so nauseas from the taste. I’m also so scared of the throwing up so you’re so real.

I stopped going to school in 7th grade i am 13 and do homeschool because i got sick every time i went into the building i never really understood why but i kinda do now tho i am still confused i dont know what to do

You have helped me understand so much and I am so grateful thank you

Well, darn. I ordered one from Yup a month ago and haven't heard anything. After seeing this I'm hoping I didn't waste my money. Money is tight but I wanted what I thought would be a quality harness that would last. Kind of nervous now and wish I had seen this earlier.

I have a service dog as a dal. Shes amazing.

Many great points. Defining what the debilitating medical condition anxiety is as a disability is very different from feeling anxious about something. I am grateful for your clip.

Hello! A Dalmatian service dog handler here, I will confirm, that people will walk up to you and ask if their service dogs and my service dog is shockingly very good for mobility, and luckily I’m able to do other sports with her daily, but I do not recommend a Dalmatian as a service dog or for a first time dog owner, and luckily my dal is bred for her sweet temperament along with half of her blood line is bred for service work and the other half are work line so I got her from a responsible breeder and a breeder who was breeding for a certain temperament! Both her parents was service dogs and her grandparents was service dogs as well, and I’ve had dals for years and she does get 2 hours of exercise a day I let her off the leash around my neighborhood and let her run following our car and if I’m not exercising her my family is!

I have PTSD from a wreck, also Anxiety both to the point I’m unable to work. I don’t drive anywhere unless it’s absolutely necessary, I don’t go I go to the Dr’s and grocery. Mostly I avoid Walmart. I wouldn’t even go outside, but now I have an ESA. I get a letter from Dr’s once a year. Now because of her I now have to go outside, take a short walk. I don’t take her anywhere inside, unless it’s a pet store. Still working on personal care and housekeeping.

i have my second tilt table test soon, and im so scared, so so scared, but hopefully all goes well!

I'm so looking forward to my test because finally a diagnosis, or not, for what is going on in my body: I have ME CFS also so it's been a long haul of 3.5 years to get a doctor to listen - I did the NASA Tilt Test at home several times but only for 10 minutes 😊

I want a service dog to help with my axienty, stuff like loud noises, going to the doctors, car rides, feeling sick, plays, and such stress me out a LOT. And honestly I don’t think therapy could help because I can’t wrap my head around the thought “everything will be okay” . But I do think have a companion will help me go through those things without too much stress, what do you think?

It really isn’t fun when I go to school I have very bad panic attacks and almost pass output I have to stay in the building,like you said there is no trying for me,it’s not fun I miss going out but I simply can’t and I need a service dog I have trouble breathing,eating and learning I just can’t people think I want attention it’s not something you want to fake it’s terrible and don’t lie saying like “oh I go but I’m scared”that’s anxiety not disabling anxiety I’ve never had medicine but have been told I have disability anxiety and getting medicine soon so if it won’t help them I resort to that I like your vids a lot and also learned from it thank you!

Your um’s were completely reasonable! Thank you for sharing in so much detail!

I have recently been diagnosed with POTS after having the symptoms for about 6 years. I am training my service dog for my POTS and PTSD too, we started about 7 months ago. Lucky is amazing, you did so well with him! My heart rate does the same thing, I've had it dip to 36 then up to 181 within a couple minutes. Tis the life of a POTSie. Thanks for sharing!

very detailed and helpful, thank you

I started sweating so bad, got so hot. Chest started pounding so hard, my chest hurt so bad, I passed out. Haven't found out diagnosis yet. I have sick sinus syndrome, i have a pacemaker and take sotalol. Will find out diagnosis for the TTT in a few days .

How did you teach your dog to follow someone? Did they hold a treat down while walking?

Ola

He is cute so

Hello i am 22 I 've been reading service dog for 4 year service dog Your favorite is service dog breeds for beginners for social anxiety? Looking for a puppy or an older dog as my service dog? I'm thinking a golden retriever or Australian shepherd or or f1 flat coat golden doodle or fb1 golden doodle I have snchoodle and golden doodle I l love agility course and freestyle and dog training My tasks is A puppy that trains for orbit and blocks for social anxiety and stops me when I lose my temper. I did read all service dogs laws I like mixed breeds and almost all purebreds.

What if you have anxiety and don’t like crowds and have panic attacks the worse your anxiety gets can you still have a sd?
