The details are unnecessary, but in the past I've felt depressed and trapped, so in order to help feel better about myself I started this big plan to go travel across the whole US. An exciting, but expectedly daunting plan. But the stress that came from that was manageable. However, recently my dad suggested that I get a dog for a companion and protection since I'll be traveling alone. I, without thinking of that that entailed, agreed. We got the dog 3 days ago and I'm already overwhelmed. Since he's my dog I have 100% of the responsibility of taking care of him and training him. He's not horrible, but he's certainly a handful. Many handfuls. And on top of that, the resident dog expert, my dad, went on his own trip the day after adopting, leaving me to figure this out completely on my own. I have no clue how to train a dog, my travel plans still need polishing, I need to prepare all the things I need before I leave, and the leave date is set for 1 to 2 weeks from now. I have so little time, so little experience, and so so much stress and anxiety over this. I feel like I'm about to just crumble apart. I did this to feel better, but I'm feeling worse than I ever have. I was told by my mom to think about what I want, and what I want is help.
