Re: Emotional support snake?
I also suffer from anxiety. As well as depression and I was recently diagnosed bipolar. So I get where you're coming from and I wish you all the best.
I definitely agree that snakes can be extremely therapeutic. I swear I can almost feel my anxiety leave my body at times when I grab one of my snakes.
I'm glad you mentioned that the animal would be staying home though. Snakes don't travel well, generally speaking. They're much more solitary animals and bringing them shopping or whatever only stresses the animal.
Plus, if I'm being honest, I think the whole "bring your ESA shopping" thing is getting out of hand. I see people in the grocery store, bank, etc...with dogs all the time. It's honestly getting ridiculous. I have some severe mental health issues, but still don't get it.
What about people who are afraid of dogs? Or allergic? Are they supposed to suffer cause Bill or Suzy can't grocery shop without their dog? How were they shopping before????
I can only imagine if I tried walking into a grocery store with one of my snakes...
