I'm unable to really do anything on my own as I am now. I'm trying to raise funds for my service dog, Avery. She's going to give me so much more independence than what I have now. Her training is very expensive and we will have to pay the rest of the money soon. Any donations at all will help, and even just sharing my post(s) is a huge help as well if you're unable to donate (:

Can you guys do me a huge favor and DM @ weratedogs on instagram with my GoFundMe for my service dog and send some pictures of Avery (my pup)? I have a ton of pictures on my other blog @avery-hope . I really need her and they post some GoFundMe pages for dogs! Her training is very expensive and I really need some help! My instagram is @avery__hope.

For so long, all I wanted was for you to love me, to accept me. I thought it was my honor that I wanted. But really, I was just trying to please you.

I've posted on: tumblr, facebook, twitter, instagram, and I've sent messages to individual people. It's hard for me because I rarely use social media, so I don't really have an online presence/following.

If anyone has or knows someone that has a decent sized following (on any platform) and would be willing to help me out and share my story and my GoFundMe, please let me know!! I would be extremely grateful for any share and any help you guys can offer me! Thanks ❤

Sorry I'm going to be obnoxious and just tag some nice people that I like (that most likely won't see this post anyway) in hopes that someone will reblog my post(s) because I'm desperate since I have to pay for her soon and I still don't have nearly enough to get her 😭

This is Avery (I'm in there somewhere too, but stick to looking at the cute dog)! Avery was born on August 7th, 2018, she she's a little older than a year old! She is a yellow lab, and she's training really hard to be my service dog (: I made a blog for her to get our story out there.

**TW Talk of OCD, anxiety, panic attacks, bipolar disorder, mild self harm, and medication**

My name is Amanda, I'm 21 years old. I've kept quiet about my mental illnesses for the most part, so most of my family didn't know what was really wrong with me--I think they just assumed I was the weird cousin. I've had Obsessive Compulsive Disorder for pretty much my entire life. It's gotten worse and worse as I've gotten older, and I've also developed Generalized Anxiety Disorder as well as Bipolar Disorder (these have all been diagnosed by several psychologists and two psychiatrists). I do go to therapy and take medication, but it's still a daily fight to keep going. My OCD is debilitating to the point where I cannot leave the house by myself--I need to be with someone or I end up having panic/anxiety attacks, which set me back in my attempts to take my life back from my anxieties. It constantly feels like one step forward, ten steps back. My Bipolar Disorder often makes me crave going out and doing things, except I'm simultaneously terrified of doing anything because of my OCD, so I'm just kind of at a standstill. I'm not able to do a LOT of the things that a 21 year old should be able to do on their own--I just panic. My Bipolar Disorder also causes me to become massively depressed with seemingly no cause. It is during these times and during panic attacks that I become a danger to myself. I frequently scratch at my arms and pull out my hair during episodes, even until I bleed. Avery is training to stop me from hurting myself, and to help me calm down sooner during episodes. She knows to interrupt me by pawing my hands and will get on top of me so that I am forced to pay attention to her rather than my anxiety. These are just a couple of things that Avery will do for me. She will be my lifeline. My constant exhaustion mixed with my medication makes it extremely difficult for me to wake up to my alarm and I am often late because of it. Avery is going to be trained to wake me up when my alarm goes off by pawing and nudging/licking me. She'll be trained to "block" for me in public or in crowded spaces so that I am able to have my space and feel protected so that I don't get overwhelmed. I cannot stress enough how much this pup is going to help me. I will be able to be more independent without panicking any time I'm not with a friend or family member, I will feel safer knowing that she will be there to protect me from other people coming too close (not in an aggressive way, just making space with her body between me and others) as well as from myself. Avery's training is $20,000. It's. A lot. She is absolutely worth it, but I'm struggling to come up with the rest without help. We have made the down payment, but we need to pay the rest by the time Avery is done with her training. She's estimated to get done sometime early next year. If you would like any more information or have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I would really, really appreciate any donations and if you are unable to donate, please reblog this post so I can get the word out. Avery is so important for me, so I appreciate any help that I am able to get.

Help me get my service dog!! 😭 Any donations, no matter how small, will help so much.

I haven't used tumblr in who knows how long but I had a decent following on here (no idea how many people are still active) so I figured I'd reach out on here too. Does anyone have a service dog and want to talk with me? I've been trying to find a friend/friends in the community but I keep getting kind of shut down and I don't know how to make friends help 😭

I live in California and my girl is still in training, so I don't have her just yet. I'm hoping she'll be done around December, but she probably won't be finished until around February 😕
