If you got a pet for your anxiety, but the pet also has anxiety, you went from therapist to a group therapy model

I see this joke often

I got a cat for my anxiety/depression, but my cat also has anxiety/depression

Get another cat

My wife and one of our dogs take the same anxiety medicine. No joke, the dog takes a higher dose.

We loved dogs so much we gave them our hopes and our fears.

I got a dog during the pandemic for emotional support because I was living along and only leaving my apartment once a week. My dog's on Prozac 🤷🏻‍♀️
