Suggest Treatment For Persistent Anxiety And PTSD

I know for a fact that I have PTSD from a rape case 4 years ago and then a couple years ago, my husband s best friend committed suicide while we were both at his house one night. I would like to get a service dog but i need to be diagnosed with anxiety and PTSD before I can register. I also need a service dog for my thyroid problems and hearing impairment.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
Some advices that I can give to you to relieve anxiety are :
-Relieve tension with vigorous exercise or massage.
-Practice relaxation techniques.
-Get enough rest.
-Practice healthy thinking and stop negative thoughts.
-Avoid alcohol, caffeine, chocolate, and nicotine.
-Plan your day. Having too much or too little to do can make you more anxious.
-Get involved in social groups, or volunteer to help others. Being alone can make things seem worse than they are.
