Well, my dog Stella (a Lagotto Ramagnolo, not sure if you've heard of a breed like that - they're not well known), is almost 2 now, so I say thank God for that, 'cos if you ask me, I reckon grown-up dogs are easier to train than puppies, because at that young age, they know almost nothing, and not to complain, be too angry here, or lose patience with her, but... she just bloody peed on the rug in the hallway again because of her anxiety and nerves.

She's called Stella, she's nearly 2, and a Lagotto Romagnolo (not sure if you've heard of that breed before, because it's not very well known). And yes, I thoroughly enjoy taking her on walks, and I sure hope I didn't breach the guidelines by giving out all that info because one of them says to stay anonymous, and when I got home, she peed all over the damn floor in the loungeroom, and I found some tips on WikiHow last night, but I just browsed through them randomly because not all of them might work for me.

Well, it’s not that it wasn’t helpful, it’s just that my dog hasn’t fully learnt how to stay directly by my side yet when I walk her, that’s what bugs me a bit, but even so, I really don’t want to lose my cool or get cross with her. And about the training tips online, I’ll see which ones catch my eye.

Hello everyone, I’m back on here, and I’ll only post on here when I feel I can post in a way that won’t go outside the guidelines, but tonight, I’m under a crapload of stress regarding my dog when I take her on a walk after dinner, and right now, no matter how many bloody times I pull on her leash, she just will not stay beside me yet. I’m kind of having a hard time here. If @Maddy-RO or anyone else is around, I kind of need a shoulder to cry on, because I know it’s OK to feel this way, but at the same time, I don’t want to put myself down and beat myself up for this, because when my dad told me to walk a little slower and not let my dog get ahead of me, I don’t know why, somehow I get this sinking feeling inside me. 😢😭💔

And I have unsubscribed to them all already - I chose “Never” on the notifications menu on Christmas Day.

That’s very nice, and not to be rude, but I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again - I’m not logging on anymore after this, so I won’t have to get any more notifications.

Well, (a) I would kindly like some info on how to switch notifications off, (b), I really don’t care if I am welcome on here, I’d much rather seek support and help elsewhere instead of ever coming on here again and risk breaking another guideline or 2, and I mean ever, and (c), I actually don’t want to switch the notifications back on ever again.

Yes please, because I really don’t want this to keep happening. I’m busy with my life now, and I’d really rather not be tagged anymore. And I know we beat ourselves up over rudeness, but if I’m just asking someone if I’m being that way or not, that’s not beating myself up over it, but instead being mindful and curious about the way I talk to others. And honestly, I’m trying really bloody hard not to be harsh or anything towards others, because if I want to be treated well, it’s only fair that we all do the same for everyone else too, it’s known to be the “Golden Rule”.

You bet it is, ‘cos I’m not taking any risks to come on here and post anymore, no matter how calm and level-headed I am, because if there’s one thing I don’t like doing, it’s breaking a guideline or 2, even if it is by accident. And about the notifications, I don’t know if you’re able to do this, but are you very kindly able to tell everyone else on here not to send me any more of those, because it’s getting kind of annoying? I’m not angry or anything, it’s just that I don’t like receiving notification after notification, even if it is Christmas time. I sure hope no-one on here thinks I’m coming off as rude, because I would really, really, really hate to be that guy.

Damn it, I posted twice again. And don’t tell me “it’s OK ‘cos it happens”, because it might be to everyone else on here, but I will not stand by and keep letting this happen again and again.

Thanks for that, but I don’t want to come on here anymore, so not to hurt anyone’s feelings or anything, but I’d really appreciate it if I could stop receiving offers and messages from people, even if it is Christmas.

Much better. I just had an anxious couple of days and nights on the weekend.

And as for alleviating anxiety, reading and surfing the Internet normally work, but not when I get to this level of sadness, heartache, and anxiety all bunched up one damn thing on top of the other, because, in all honesty, all I wanna do in these times is weep for as long as it takes to get my heart back in one piece and make me feel happy again.

I told my dad that maybe I could just tell my friend to call later, but he said I can still take the call in there, just not on loudspeaker when he's watching TV, so that's what I mean by that - I realised I didn't need to go as far as to say something like that, because it wasn't really needed, and I want to avoid saying things like that in future so my anxiety will be lower, that's what I mean about this whole thing. Jesus, I just wanna cry after all I've been through this weekend. 😢😭

And about the breathing, I'm sorry to disagree with you on this, but, for me, not every shortness of breath is the sign of a panic attack, it's just that it doesn't work for me when my anxiety gets too high, that's what I was saying. Sorry if you didn't get the picture initially, but that's just how it is for me.

My dad told me to keep the loudspeaker off when I’m talking to him in the kitchen, and I quite by accident said maybe his call can wait until later (which I realised I didn’t even need to say because he said I can still talk then, just not on loudspeaker when I'm talking to my friend in the kitchen because my dad wants to hear the TV) and I know it was an honest mistake, which we all make at times, and I get that, but I still want to avoid doing the same thing from this day forward so I can be happier and less anxious.

No, I’m not having any panic or anxiety attacks anymore, but I just wanna know how I can possibly avoid jumping to conclusions when I’m told to do something somewhere else (like talking on the phone with my friend on loudspeaker when my dad’s watching TV).

And does anyone on here know how I can avoid jumping to conclusions when I’m told to do something somewhere else apart from writing things down, ripping them up, and throwing them out?

Yes, true, but you do understand I sometimes can’t breathe if it gets really bad, because it’s just too hard to do in that moment? And that’s OK about the distraction thing and the message.

I thought you might, because I just want to have good, happy times with my family without this happening every damn time. For God’s sake.

Thanks for that. I’ll try to breathe, but it really depends on how severe the anxiety is, so if it’s terribly bad, just breathing alone, I’m sorry to say, just may not be enough.
