About the job

About who needs care: I have a brain injury and mental health issues from motorcycle accident in 2020. My dog Ryley has been with me since 6 months after the accident he is my self trained service dog that we are continuing to learn together what I need. I need help because I mostly just eat ice cream cooking is very hard for me. I dont shower becasue of panic. I need to get in a better eatgin, bathing, strengthening routine and I cannnot do it alone I need help About the care needs: I don't like people who talk too much or share a bunch of personal info that they need help with. I am a trained mental health therapist with my LICSW, and I cannot work anymore, but it is hard for me to turn off when someone starts sharing. I need to have someone focus on me without me feeling prideful or self-righteous. Someone knowledgeable about service dog training would be ideal!!! I have major depression and PTSD, I cry a lot, and I'm amusing. I still volunteer in my field. I own a mental health clinic, but I cant work anymore. Lots of grief. I have a long history of impulsivity and poor relationships, probably due to a head injury since I was 18, but was able to mask it until my motorcycle accident. Also I keep being advised to eat a mediteranian diet. A PCA who is willing to cook/eat healthy and help me eat healthy would be great. I mostly eat ice cream and candy. I have an eating disorder too. Im complicated but very wise. Sometimes when I talk and share youd never know there is anything wrong with me. Invisible illness. I use a cane to walk becuase of balance problems and fear of falling-cuz I have fallen a lot! Services needed include: meal preparation, errands / shopping, light housekeeping, and companionship.
