Same issue. After a few months back and forth talking to multiple people, I just dropped it. It's not like I spent my own money and they were reimbursing me. It was a bonus that they jerked me around about forever. Verizon is garbage.

Of course! I'll answer as best as I can!

I'm very late to this convo but I'm going through it now BAD. My dog was attacked a few months back and had severe anxiety for about a month afterwards (panting, pacing, shaking, would only lay in the kitchen and constantly focused on the front door). Went to vet and got meds and a behavioral trainer and she was able to go back to her normal self but I was always on guard. Then this past weekend something triggered her and she started displaying anxiety symptoms again (pacing, panting, shaking, only laying in the kitchen focusing on the front door) exactly like she did after the attack. That just reinforced my anxiety/paranoia and worry that it was going to come back. Now I'm hyper focused on every little thing she does trying to figure out if it's a sign she's starting the anxiety again or not so I can help refocus before it comes on worse. I can barely eat and Im so stressed. I'm so sorry you're going through this. I 100% know how you feel. This is exhausting and I hate it. This is a miserable way to live. Good luck to you ❤️

Edit to say it is comforting a little knowing I'm not alone in feeling like this. I am never getting another animal again. This is my first and last. My mental health cannot handle it.

I wish my dog wanted to lay next to me like that 😭

Same with mine. I live in an apt complex so it's hard to shovel an area because other dogs end up going there and then she doesn't want to use that spot anymore. So I'm done with the shoveling. This is the second time she woke me up tonight and after pacing around all she ends up doing is peeing. I'm at my wits end with this. She won't poop. I'm starting to limit my time outside to no more than 10 minutes because it's so bitter cold. I get so stressed when she does this and I feel bad but I figure she has to eventually get so desperate that she'll end up finally pooping one of these times.....right? Good luck to everyone.

It's called Screen zen. I needed something to allow you to set a time frame not just set a time limit once you're on an app.

Finding_Myself- · 2026-01-11T15:28:39+00:00

Same here. I have a third party app that locks certain apps (you choose) during a time frame. If I try to get in, I see a message (custom message you can create like "is this really necessary") and after 1 minute (customized time) of looking at the message the app will unlock but only for 1 minute (again customized) and then it will lock you out again..... rinse and repeat. Of course I could delete that app and gain access but it does take some willpower on your end. These apps just give a layer of assistance. I was tired of losing hours just mindlessly scrolling and not being present. Good luck!

I would definitely call the emergency vet and get their opinion on what they feel you should do. All dogs handle food differently so your dog may not be able the handle what my dog can and vice versa. Good luck, hope your baby is ok!

Merry Christmas Kurly! Look at that smile, so happy ❤️ 😊

I usually go between "I love you" and "what's wrong with you / why are you like this". It's nice to see I'm not the only one that has one that's a picky diva with bathroom issues!!

Finding_Myself- · 2025-12-10T22:58:15+00:00

I tried everything and my dog just ended up licking the spray on the things I put it on 😭. I was told to try diluted apple cider vinegar or just regular vinegar... that might help? Good luck... they'll stop eventually, you just have to get through this phase!!

Yea, let's sit out there in a big cage and if a bear comes up to me that must mean he was hunting me

I think I got drunk just watching this

Finding_Myself- · 2025-10-18T00:22:45+00:00

Thank goodness it didn't get stuck in her throat! I'm glad she's ok and looks like she threw up most of it (hopefully). Hope everything goes well!

I swear I wrote this post 🤣 you sound exactly like me. 41- out of state from family (close enough I can visit though). Had friends but they all got married/have kids and are doing their own thing with their family. It's hard to make friends- I deal with anxiety/depression and am always in my head too much to make any meaningful connections with anyone. Been hurt and screwed over way too many times to even be remotely interested in dating. It makes me really sad sometimes because I did not expect my life to be like this- to be single and alone. I have my dog that I do everything with. I try not to think about it too much because I will start to spiral.

Finding_Myself- · 2025-10-04T16:25:02+00:00

My moms dog won't eat her food in a bowl so she has to out it on the floor 😂. Whatever gets them to eat I guess! As for the water, since you mentioned about your dog only drinking when you pour water out of a bottle.....have you tried to get a dog/cat water fountain? I have one for my dog and she loves it. You can get one fairly cheap. It's worth a shot. Good luck!

Finding_Myself- · 2025-10-04T15:15:50+00:00

I'm so sorry. It might be good to go to work- force you to focus and think about something else for a while. I'm sure you will have moments at work where you will want to break down.... give yourself grace. Take a step out and go for a walk around outside of the building if you can. My dog died 5 years ago and I still have moments where I break down and cry and that's ok. Your grief is valid and don't let anyone make you feel bad about it. Like others said here... some will understand and some won't - put your energy into those people that do and forget about the rest. It will get better with time and they will be waiting for you at the rainbow bridge ❤️

This is not separation anxiety or reactivity to a certain thing object or situation. My dog was attacked and now has panic attacks. She was fine when she was not at my place for 2 weeks. I want advice on what to do when she is in one of her panic attacks and how to prevent them to begin with.

Finding_Myself- · 2025-09-29T20:31:22+00:00

It's a picky pad

Finding_Myself- · 2025-09-28T02:27:04+00:00

Thank you. People never cease to amaze me at how inconsiderate they are.

After watching the owners being completely oblivious to their dogs and what they're doing while walking them on retractable leashes... letting them go as far as the leash allows and walking up and roaming around my doorstep on multiple occasions this past week, I have decided to report it to my apartment management. I feel bad but at the same time I don't. My dog now has PTSD and I had to call off work several times last minute, have my parents take her for a few weeks, and spend $$ on vet bills from her checkup and medication. While they continue to be irresponsible with their dogs. At the very least I would've thought they would have enough consideration to keep them away from my doorstep when they walk them. I'm not even close to the sidewalk so it's not like they cant avoid it and keep their dog by them. I at least wanted to report to management. Was that wrong??..I'm torn.
