"I got an ESA bunny after being diagnosed with depression. At first, I was pretty hesitant. How could I take care of an animal when I could barely take care of myself? But taking Nani in was the best decision I ever made. Thanks to her I was able to battle my depression. I have good days and bad days, but Nani gives me a reason to keep going."

"I got an ESA cat while dealing with anxiety. I wasn't looking for an ESA, I just wanted a pet and after moving an apartment with my friends I got the chance to. We adopted Charlie two years ago and ever since then our lives have changed for the better. Charlie's a loner but he always hops in my lap or sits beside me whenever I have a bad day. It's like he can sense when I'm anxious."

"I got an ESA dog while I was grieving. I'd been begging for a dog for years, but my parents always said no. But after dad died mom relented and got us a new puppy. At first, I didn't pay much attention to Noah. I was so sad about my dad's passing I didn't pay much attention to him. Despite that he never left my side (except to eat or use the bathroom) and over time he grew on me. I spent hours talking about dad and how much I missed him. Talking with Noah gave me closure I needed. I miss dad every day, but Noah reminds me there's still people who care."
