I was moving along in my life nicely when I was attacked by a dog 2 months ago. It has left permanent scars, physically and emotionally. I'm afraid to leave my house some days and feel very anxious around other dogs, especially loose ones. I have been working with animals all of my life, so this is a very new feeling to me. I am still trying to get the physical stuff taken care of but the doctors have been slow in helping, which leaves me very frustrated. My brain is working just fine, but my right leg and left hand still have some pretty major issues. I found this site searching the internet. I'm hoping to find some people to talk to and also to be able to encourage others in their recovery. Thanks for being here! I also have a gambling addiction that I have not been dealing well with. I can't go due to lack of money, but it doesn't stop me from thinking about it. I've lost thousands and thousands of dollars over the years. The only good thing I can say is that I did not use credit cards so I only was dealing with monthly debt (i.e., bills, rent, gas, groceries, etc.) I conned my mother into loaning me money on a regular basis and of course, she didn't understand why she was doing this, but wanted to help me out. I have a lot of regrets that I have come forward with to my family and that's a good thing as well. It's just that no one knows how much I think about it now and I won't tell them. I am home all day since I can't work because of my accident and that puts more thoughts in my head.

Well, I used to like animals! (lol) Actually, I still do, but am very wary. Motorcycle riding with my boyfriend, Bike Nights, water, puzzles, movies, yard work.

I was attacked by a dog over 2 months ago at a boarding facility that I was working at .
I have been a compulsive gambler for can't tell you how many years. I have not been for the last 4 months due to lack of money. Doesn't stop me from thinking about it though. I have spent thousands of dollars that I couldn't afford to lose I am much better now, though. I banned myself for 5 years from the casinos in my state and that helped alot. Moved away for a time but I am now back in the banned state.
Was attacked by a dog at a kennel I was working at.
