Hello all,
I'm facing a major dilemma and desperately need advice from other redditors with dogs. I just adopted a dog several days ago and have come to the realisation that i have to give her back. Some backstory, i suffer from severe anxiety conditions as well as OCD and i have been working for several years to get these under control. Getting a dog was a step in my life that i had thought about for a long time. Since I've gotten him (a beautiful, sweet, well-behaved dalmatian/something mix) i've had panic attacks every couple hours and even once thoughts of suicide with the train of thought that if i kill myself my dog could go to a great home where he is also loved.
I desperately wanted this dog and i really love him. I feel like i will never find a sweeter nicer dog but i also feel like i have to give him back to the shelter. I feel like a major failure and a quitter who is flaking on a commitment.
I guess i'm hoping for some reassurance that giving him back is the right decision or advice about what to do. (As a side note i have zero doubt that he would be almost immediately adopted by someone else, he had a lot of interest)
