    I first began experiencing anxiety and depression (焦虑和抑郁) at the age of 14, after being bullied at school for years. While at first anxiety and depression would come and go, it later happened all the time in my life.

    I made up my mind to find the solution to overcoming my anxiety and depression that I tried everything from when I was in college to graduate school: mood-changing medication, special teas, yoga, things I read about in books, and advice given by doctors. Although I tried many methods, I still felt I hadn't even come close to managing the problem.

    But one afternoon, I saw an article in a magazine that talked about how dogs were able to help people with anxiety and depression. The next day, I decided to get a dog — a corgi (柯基犬).

    When I bought my little corgi, Buddy, home, I didn't realize how much he would change my life. It didn't happen right away, however.

    Once the "puppy excitement" went away, my anxiety and depression came back as usual. One morning, I woke up with those familiar feelings again. I didn't want to get out of bed. I turned to pull the covers back over my head and give up. That's when I saw Buddy. Buddy started jumping all over me, licking my face, letting me know that it was time to go outside. It was as if he were saying, "There's no time to be sad. The world is amazing!" And for the first time in my life, on a day when my anxiety and depression were strong, I got out of bed. I put on my winter clothes and went for a walk in the snow with my new friend. I realized at that moment, walking down the street in winter, my life was changing. I really was a new person. This was my new beginning; my missing puzzle piece.

    It's been more than a year since that day, and I've never spent another morning unable to get out of bed. I've not cried myself to sleep or spent my days stuck with fear and regret. Sure, I still have days when I feel sad or anxious. But with Buddy by my side, I've finally learned how to manage these feelings and emotions.
