Update Years Later. No, I am no longer with my ex husband. Yes, he beat me daily. Strangling me unconscious, holding me upside down out of windows saying he was going to drop me and kill me, beating me any time I tried to leave and more. Years later, I'm remarried to one of my close childhood friends I've known for over 10 years. We've been married almost a year now. And we are currently expecting baby #2 (our first together). Liam, my son in the video, is so excited to be a big brother. I have a loving husband who helps me daily with my medical. He helps me set up my IV bags for my infusions 6 days a week. He helps me when my blood pressure is bottomed out and I'm tachycardic. I have Dysautonomia which is Autonomic Nervous System Dysfunction. My brain sends the wrong signals to my body. So my blood pressure bottoms out, my heart can go up to 180bpm from standing and walking around. That's what causes the fainting. And there's a video somewhere on my channel of me being diagnosed. I have PTSD as well. (Obviously). I currently have Max. He's getting ready to retire. And I have a new puppy that is training to take his place. So I hope everyone can take some time to check out my more recent videos. And where I am at now in my life. Thank you all for the support. I love you guys! And over the years, I have learned how to cope better with my anxiety in public and how I react. So please don't hold this against me. But I am in a way better place now than before..❤️

“Hold on lemme pass out” “Go on that couch and pass out”

I love how your husband just causally walks over with a child upside down lol Wtf how do I have 100+ likes ;o;

im sorry but I just loved the nonchalant "let me pass out give me 5 minutes" just so casually

Father, carrying child by one leg: Hi pls stop bugging my wife

"i'm gonna die in those shoes but i want them." i feel this spiritually.

What is up with people these days when I see a service dog I look think it's cute and move on

Funny story. Once I had panic attack and fainted cuz of all this stress and emotions. My service dog "sherlock" was laying next to me and keeping safe. I was with my friend Maya and Ruben. One woman walked to me and started pushing me off the couch. My friends were arguing with her and once she started shaking me Ruben just. Slapped her. Edit: I didn’t really need that many likes but thank you. I wanted to clear some things us Me fainting is a daily thing , when I get really stressed or overwhelmed I just can’t help it. My dog was more like emotional support to me through these years. Few months ago he was hit by a car and is no longer able to walk properly. He’s old so he’s a retired dog now and resting at home with my family. I moved away to collage with my boyfriend and let’s just say it’s been weird not having Sherlock around anymore. He is pretty old now and it’s hard to cope with things without him. My boyfriend is a big help to me though and I’m really greatfull for Ruben :) If anyone’s interested I’m still in touch with maya she lives few hours from me and Ruben but we’re seeing each other every time we can. I need service dog and I’m aware of that, To many terrible things happened to me while talking to people and I’ve been told to get away from store with my dog even after shoving proof that he was professional trained dog. I’ve been struggling with a lot of problems but I’m an adult now and I need to find way to cope. Tried to Off myself twice after I moved it like I said before I have big help with me.

He protect, he lay on lap, but most importanly he help his human take a nice nap

Just notice how her husband just does not care and how her friend Landon never left her side....

I love how the dog stayed calm and focused the whole time until released.

I can't comprehend how a dog tells you when you're going to pass out before you even know I'm very amazed. Dogs truly are Angels

I love how the dad is carrying his child upside down by one foot and everyone is worried about a lady laying on a couch. Great job America. 😂

I'm not even sure how I came across this particular video but the whole situation...having PTSD and anxiety, being open about it with people so they understand, not to mention filming all of this so people can see what your everyday life is like....it's fascinating! You're doing everyone a huge favor by showing what to do (and what NOT to do) with regards to these amazing animals. I work in retail and we get service dogs in our store occasionally and I've seen a few at work while I was with my granddaughter. She asked me about why you can't pet them and we had quite a conversation about it and then I showed her this video. Since then, whenever she sees a service dog she makes sure to not bother the "worker" and she keeps an eye on everyone else so that they don't interfere. Anyways, thanks for making this for everyone.

This is why I wish there were PTSD wristbands or something. I mean, i guess the best that clearly stated "Service Dog" wasn't clear enough. Leave the girl alone! Her and her dog have as much right to be there as anyone else.

I love how at the end you were able to have a civil conversation with that worker that thought you were sleeping. I also loved the fact that it looked and sounded like she wanted to know what was happening to you so that she doesn't make the same mistake to someone else or you again.

I don't mean to be cruel, but it's normal for people to question if you're okay. And if you have people with you video taping it they should stop people from touching you as compared to allowing it to continue.

If you're going to be doing something dramatic, like laying on a couch with your dog, your friends/family need to do a better job at explaining the situation if a misunderstanding happens. I understand the situation perfectly as I have similar issues but understand why it's going to seem strange and out of the norm to the public.

Kudos to the dog...so many distractions and he doesn't leave her side

One of the better ones I’ve seen. She was very apologetic. You’re going to rock that dress and those shoes girl.

I love when her husband just walks whit his son like that

Most people don't know it's illegal to distract a service dog. Or that an SD laying on top of you has anything to do with fainting. I understand being frustrated, but she gets mad at people for not knowing. As if it's common knowledge.

To the comments who complained about her being "mean" or "irritable": Long story short I have a blood clot in my brain. Thankfully it's contained for now. I've fainted on many occasions. To help those who don't understand I'm going to explain it for you. These are my symptoms and other people may not expierence it like I do. 1. I feel my temperature rise and heat coming from my face. I break out in heat rash all over my body. My face will feel like it's on fire it's so hot. It' feels like all the blood in my body is being pulled up my body. 2. I become extremely dizzy to the point I fall to my knees 3. My heart starts to race and that's when I start to panic. That fear of knowing you will not be in control of your own body can be terrifying. Even if you live with a condition for so long, it's still scary. 4. I yell or scream for help 5. I pass out completely 6. I wake up confused and not sure what's going on at first. During the parts before and after I pass out, I can't focus on anything and I have a tough time answering questions. You get frusterated but it's important to know that we aren't upset with the person helping us. We are scared and don't always understand what is happening. I'm normally a very calm person but I have gotten frusterated with people helping me. Mainly because of all the questions. I don't like being touched either from issues in the past, so I can understand that too. It would make me uncomfortable even though I know they are trying to be nice. So please don't judge her reaction. I thought she handled it like a Boss!

She just needs a shirt that says “DONT TOUCH ME! I HAVE A SERVICE DOG FOR A REASON!” Lol (This is a joke please don’t attack me... 😅)

Everybody in the comments: "HOW COULD YOU GET MAD AT THE LADY SHE DIDNT KNOW!!!!!!" Her several times to the lady: "No, it's ok! You're fine! This is what was going on. No it's ok! You're fine! I'm sorry if I yelled at you I really didn't mean to! You're fine! I'm sorry!"

“let me pass out just give me 5 mins” just so casual 😂

Whenever I see a service dog I ogle from a distance, tell my mom how cute it is, then walk away and mind my own business. Why are people so deft

When I get my dog, if I'm passed out, I'd be damned happy to have a stranger touch me to see if I was OK.

Totally understand staff not wanting people laying & dogs on the couch. But all she did was lightly tap you on the shoulder, and to be honest if i saw you unresponsive on the floor I'd do the same & for my medical condition it could save my life if someone checked on me. Better to emotionally trigger someone than let someone fall into a coma and die.

First it's the Raspberries, now it's the upside down child 😂

GOOD DOG, MAX!!! That "husband' of yours is WORTHLESS!!! Glad you got rid of him! YOU ARE A GOOD DOG, MAX!!!

In Australia service pet can’t be questioned or your in trouble as a business. I understand they thought you were asleep, you look that way, but your dog looked like a service dog so you should of been left with your dog and adult supervision

I understand you have a service dog and you need him. Thing is though, you cannot expect everyone to just know what your condition is. I feel for you as I also have ptsd, but we have to understand that others aren't educated as much as we need them to be, it's not their fault and we shouldn't shame them because of it. I believe she said you were asleep to the customer as not to draw attention to you, she was being nice, not ignorant. Beautiful shoes btw and hope your episodes get better with time with your fur baby by your side.

When her husband walked over with her son upside down I died 😂😂

Her: I can’t math Me: to be fair you did just pass out Also that worker was so sweet after people usually don’t do that ❤️ love to all people who are nice

Husband: right when i walk away something happens Son: *uh oh*

Does Landon remind anyone else of Garett watts 😂😂

Max is a good boy

“touched while unconscious” you make it sound like she harassed you, she just tapped on you arm gently to wake you up, she couldn’t have known that you wouldn’t like that

She used her fingers to touch you for two seconds. She didn’t know before hand that you have this ptsd who can’t be touched.

Lady touches me when I'm unconscious = Lady taps my shoulder, concerned for my wellbeing, unaware of my medical issues

That was emotional. I wish that didn't happen to you. But the fact is, people naturally want to help. What kind of person would just assume everything is ok and leave you unconscious? As much as you want that, it's not realistic. You need the dog and a human with you to explain the situation. The general population doesn't know much about service dogs and the reasons why people have them or have any idea what your diagnosises are.

I’m getting my service dog tomorrow! I’m so excited!!! His name is Axle. 1 year edit: Still an amazing boy, I love him dearly and he has helped me alot throughout the pandemic

I can't help but wonder why they are so worried about the service dog being on the couch rather than having her shoes on. But that's just me.

Keep in mind you friend said "she's passed out" in a hushed voice. If I didn't know the circumstance it sounded like he meant you were asleep. And you said he started rubbing you, so they likely assumed he was trying to wake up from being asleep. The entire thing seems like a huge misunderstanding.

"He causualy walks over holding our son upside down" OMG that part got me dead😂

I just imagine a Karen walking up and being like "HeY wAkE uP yOu NeEd To GeT uP I WaNt To SiT tHeRe!" "WaKe Up!"

I’m training my dog right now. and i’ve been looking for a good harness/lead. and i’m curious about your leash is snapped around your waist?

Heels probably aren't safe for a person that passes out/faints.

I'm super confused as to why your husband would walk away when he knows youre about to pass out. You're in a store, there are going to be questions and obviously your friend dosen't know your medical history like your husband will. You might also want to consider some sort of medical tag. They aren't expensive. I have my conditions and an emergency number on mine. You can also ask your PCP for a temp handicap tag for the summer for when it is too hot to make it across the parking lot. Heat is one of my major syncope triggers, so summer parking lots are a HUGE no no.

the part where your husband came over with your son upside down had me dying laughing

Any idiot can see the vest saying service dog and normal people would leave her be until she wakes and then ask if she may have had an episode and would leave it at that and any signification other would never leave that’s their job to control the situation when you’re out should never have made it to her touching you at all

9:16 I'm dead at how your husband walked over with your son upside down aha😂

Wow! I am normally on the side of the handler and dog, but your boyfriend/husband could have easily explained what was happening. Instead he just kept rolling hoping to capture what employees did wrong. This is about as uncool as people bringing in their ill behaving teacup poodle pet as a service animal. If you shop their often, then why not talk to he head manager and try educating this staff? Very disingenuous.

9:20 Husband: *casually walks over with his child upside* 🤣

It’s amazing to see how focused your service dog is as you walk around on the heels. He is looking for any signs of you fainting, what a good boy!

*Lights turn off and on* Lady in the background: "Oh Lady"

At the fair my friend saw a service dog and wanted to pet it and was like "come on let's go pet it" and I said "you don't pet service dog they are doing work". And if I never saw your channel I would have asked to pet the dog , Thank you so much for teaching me more about this stuff!!! ❤️

I just had an issue like this yesterday...I was with my dog trainer in the mall and we went to find a couch to practice DPT on both my chest and my lap. As we were working, a UPS guy said from afar inside a store "The service dog can be in here, but they cannot be on the couch." My trainer then proceeded to explain how she was tasking and that's why she was allowed. He said again that they shouldn't be on the couch, but then was quiet. My trainer explained to me to say that to someone next time that happens. Then as she's tasking (know that I'm worked up cause this is the first time this has ever happened to me) he comes up, stares at us, and then yells once again as he's walking away, "They shouldn't be on the couch, other people sit there you know." My trainer and I were furious. But it just goes to show that it's just the reality of being a service dog handler :/

i can only imagine how scary it must be to to pass out at any time, no matter where you are or who’s around you

The woman acted right as an trained first aid helper if some one pass out you are can toutch them bc you dont know if it is normal for the person to pass out our its the first time bc if you find someone passed out and then assume that its normal or just leave the person and dont look if they need help you can get sued for not helping

Casually walks in with his son upside down 😂 When I was little I also loved being held like that 😆

Hey girl, let me start by saying, I have POTs and multiple other issues as well. So I totally understand how challenging and discouraging it can be. I'm not here to judge you or anything like that, I just have some genuine questions and concerns. With POTs, for myself, and others I know with the illness, when you feel you're going to pass out, you lay down if you catch it in time. Therefore, regulating your BP and HR, usually stopping the fainting from happening. I've personally never experienced or seen anyone else who just lays down and eventually passes out. Can you explain this to me? I've also never seen anyone pass out- wake up because someone is touching them or talking to them- then pass out again. I've watched several of your videos to try to fully understand. Also, when it comes to me anyways, if I'm feeling bad enough that I pass out, the last thing I'm worried about is wanting to shop more. I want to get out of that public place that I'm in no matter what. Because after passing out, do you really want to get back up and shop more? Really? I watched your Walmart video. In it after you woke up you acted like you didn't even know you were recording. However, you clearly sat on the floor, propped up the camera, and layed down. And as you were passing out you continually kept instructing Max. If you truly are feeling like passing out, again, you are unable to focus on anything. Even if it is your SD. You feel so bad that the world just fades away. You don't have time to prepare. Like I said, all of this is coming from someone who can identify. And I'm sorry you go through all of it. It's awful. I was just wondering if you could clary those things a bit? Thanks.

It must be so annoying when people distract the dog when he is trying to do his job :/

People saying "how do you know what was said". Uh. It's obviously on video footage that I watch and edit to post. I faint due to my medical problems. Dysautonomia. Which is autonomic nervous system dysfunction. My brain isn't sending the right signals to the rest of my body. Resulting in various symptoms. I've been fainting for about 9 years since I was 14. Like. I'm pretty sure I haven't been "faking" that long. My exs idea to lay on the couch if you listen to the video when I said something about finding a spot on the floor.

Oh my gosh!!! Because when I see someone unconscious I just stand there and and play angry birds on my phone

When you calm down. “I really like these shoes” Sorry but that’s so random.

I have PTSD from war, but my service dog is trained to get between someone and me when I'm having a problem. No bark at anyone. Once I'm back he sits and waits for me to give a command.

" miss... miss you cant have the reason you're alive on the couch... especially when you're being talked to and unconscious.." 😂 LOGIC

When you are laying down in a store you have to expect staff to come up to you to see what is going on. It's not unreasonable and she doesn't know that you don't like being touched.

Are they really saying “the dog can’t be on the couch” SERIOUSLY!😡 SOME PEOPLE REALLY?!

You do understand that this is not a true Service Dog. The only thing wrong with the owner is that she's not right in the head. She supposedly starts to have an episode, and then has to continually correct the dog to "alert" to her. She craves attention. and just wants to take her dog everywhere with her.

“That guy is dead ass asleep over there” that killed me😂

You always have to stay. PAWSitive

I wish the public had a better understanding of service dogs and how important they are to us. My service dog Rusty has saved my life and is tasked with helping me stand and get up from the floor. He is also DPT trained, I love it when he lays on me. I’m a stage 3 cancer survivor and I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for Rusty. Hope you are well and God bless.

Along with the video these comments the support it is making me cry. Enough Internet for today god bless you all. My husband suffers seizures.

It's funny that first your husband casually walks over with your son upside-down then he sings "I gota Baby in my arms!" That made me laugh. But I'm new and I think those shoes are awesome and you would kill them!!

Your body language nothing about this show PTSD, or even slight nervousness. You seem happy about passing out almost. Like here comes another chance to tell someone off, or maybe sue them.

Hey I know this is personal, but I was wondering what kind of Dysautonomia you have, I have pots. I was also wondering what organization you got your service dog from, I’m looking for a place that can do the tasks I need. Thanks!

Convoluted plan to steal a pair of shoes.

I think it’s a normal response to touch the arm of someone who looks unconscious. She also may not have seen your friend and husband and child with you before you got on the couch. Otherwise she should have asked them if you were okay. Being that your legs were crossed over and your arm had not fallen down it does look like you’re sleeping. More like narcolepsy than fainting.

I'm sorry but "I was freaking out because she touched me" not everyone knows and people are trying to help. She's honestly not worth making look bad in a video. Mabee an explanation video describing your needs would help so more people know.

I’m so glad I stumbled on ur channel, I remember when I was young that I did what those kids did and yelled puppy or doggy. I was too young to realize that those dogs are service animals that help those with PTSD and other conditions. I know now about this and to not bother them while their working and I’m sure whenever I have kids that I will let them know that yes the doggy is very cute but he’s helping thier human and we can’t distract them 🙂

“ I know I’m going to fall but I WANT THEM” i love this girl 😂😂💕💕

I found a Taco crumb on my shirt while watching this so I felt lucky

Max dose such a good job well done him how many likes I get its means one clap for max

Thank you for helping educate the world on service dogs and the personal struggles you deal with on a daily basis!

This young lady is so respectful and sweet. She didn't have to explain but it leaves more of an impact than fighting. I wish her well. Great interaction. I know I learned something!

Are you going to spend your whole life being a victim? How are the employees supposed to know what the fucks wrong with you. They are liable for anything that happens in the store and they were only asking you politely about your well being.

Hey, would you move if someone had an allergy problem with the dog?

NEVER EVER EVER DISTRACT A SERVICE DOG PLEASE.

“Let me pasa out give me 5min then we go back shopping” 🤣 I’m dying!

I like the videos like this you put out showing your service dog in action as it is ACTUALLY happening instead of training which in a sense helps people, like myself, you didn't really know what service dog training can actually do and looking at your other videos shows that you've been through a lot but you're really a nice and fun person which just makes my dad so I hope you have a nice week

I genuinely hope you’re not as angry and confrontational as you come off in these videos.Disabilities are not an excuse to be a spiteful person, in fact in my personal experience with them they have taught me about the wonders of my loved ones and what they do to help me.

I love you and your family so much! You make me giggle at your funny moments, and learn about your disorder during the serious, concerning moments.

Damn he was so butthurt to buy his baby some pants smfh! I’m glad you have a new hubby and congratulations on your pregnancy!

Idk why but as soon as your friend started rubbing your back I teared up. What a great friend you have.

“I can’t math right now,” “I can’t English right now” - I say that often xD

You actually look like your chilling in the couch

I thought is was cute that when you teetered, the dog immediately got up to make sure you were okay.
