That's pretty tough!. Looks like you need to keep your dogs busy, in a fun way!.
Get some sort of playground for them outside in a fenced house!. I would assume you walk them!.!. right!.!? Do it!.
If you dont wanna buy anything like for them to play in, you could always make it out of anything you find just to keep them amused!.
If dogs get bored, they tend to do things to keep themselves interested!.
When people start depending on you, say "NO" and that's it! Whatever they say, no matter how close, u say NO!
Just because they can't deal with their own lives, doesn't mean they should bother you all the time and waste your life!.
They gotta fix things for themselves, as you should for yourself :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Take a break!. I understand that animals can feel like family when they are all you have but they are just animals and will be fine!. You should recognize your anxiety problems for what they are, this time it's the dog's boo boo next time it will be a leaky faucet or a crack in the side walk!.
Calm down and take it easy - your dogs will be fine, she'll heal up and be good as new!.!.!.!. then what!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi, cassanova!. I can relate to some of this!. I know caring for a pet can be extremely stressful when you're under pressure yourself from other things!. Of course, having another active pet who wants to play just compouds the problem!.
Do you have or can you get a pet gate to separate them for a while!? It would give both you and your recovering pet a much needed break!. You obviously have your hands full enough without the added risk of further injury to your dear pet!.
Your boxer may appreciate an extra walk, and it may be good for you to!. Looking at your other dog too much may be a bit depressing, so just getting out for a few minutes at a time can be therapeutic for you!. Don't forget to take care of yourself!. Tell the other people you are booked and need some "me" time!. Its ok to do that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Aww, I'm so sorry to hear about your pet!. It just SEEMS like your past problems are on the brink of revisiting you, since all of them stemmed from stress related issues!. Even though it can be overwhelming, just relax and understand that your Great Dane will be alright, and that it was JUST a bad cut!.!.!.and not a complete loss of your pet!. When something stressful comes along, deal with that issue as an isolated incident and NOT as a problem compiling the rest!. Once you can do that comfortably, you'll be able to cope effectively for mental stability and an overall sense of well-being!. It can be difficult to stay afloat when life happens to you on top of everything that HAS happened, but since you know what the issue is and you can identify it, shows you are STRONG ENOUGH to handle anything that comes your way!. So stay strong--for yourself and your pets!.
TIP: If need be, separate your boxer from your Great Dane, as it won't help the healing process to be antagonized by the Boxer!.
Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Wow!. Kudos for coming so far!. My mother and sister both have mental problems!. First, calm down! In the end, everything is going to work out!. Don't let the stress right now ruin the progress you have made, so far!.
I completely, 100% understand about your dogs being your life!. Mine are also!. I have threatened to leave my fiance over them!. It's something about their unconditional love!. I know it must be ahrd seeing your baby hurt, but don't fret!. She'll get better!. As for the boxer, try taking him on some walks to calm him down!. He will be able to get some energy out, making things easier on you and the dane!. If it does not work, try just separating them!. Maybe putting one in a crate or in a baby gate!.
As for the other thing, don't let anyone push their problems on you!. You have to look out for number one, before anyone else!. If they don't like that, then they aren't worth the trouble anyway!. I hope this offers you some solace!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You just have to realize that you CAN handle this, one thing at a time!. It's within your ability!.
When I get overwhelmed I think about a family in a third world country and all the stuff they have to go through just to survive and feed their kids!. I just imagine how much harder their life is than mine, and how it doesn't seem right for me to throw in the towel if they are still holding it together!.
It's just a little perspective for ya!. I hope this helps!. I hope your dogs stay well also!. I love dogs!.
