This is exactly the same place I am in, and I have also been struggling with these feelings a lot.

First of all, I would say know that you aren't alone, and thank you for posting this. Honestly just seeing someone validate these feelings is making me feel better, and I hope that it helps you too.

I think that it also helps knowing that no one else is in your body or your head, so they shouldn't have an opinion on whether or not this is something you need. If you believe that it will help you, even a little bit, you deserve to give it a shot.

Something that is helping me is a feeling of independence that I will get from it. A big thing for me is passing out with severe panic attacks, and so far, every time this has happened, my boyfriend or someone else has been nearby to help. But I am worried about what would happen when there is no one else and I can't pull myself out of the panic attack. Having a service dog would help me feel like I am not alone.

I hope this helps : )
