Have any pets you've owned or have known that have helped you with things such as depression and anxiety? Without my kitties Pumpkin and Bella I'd be an anxiety ridden mess!
I believe pets are very important to our mental health, no judgement, just undying love and affection. Even just having a pet goldfish to watch positively affects the brain.
