new dog owner anxiety

hi! I am in my mid 20s and recently adopted a 2 year old rescue beagle. he’s very sweet and cute and quiet. follows me around and is loving.

I have wanted a dog for years since moving out , grew up with them. I work fully remote and decided it’s time I get a companion.

I’m happy, but also overwhelmed with anxiety. anxiety that suddenly I cannot have a social life, that the responsibilit is going to be too much. I’m just thinking worst case scenarios .

even about his eating and poop schedule. Day 2 he pooped on my floor after being seemingly constipated, and I had tried to take him out 4 times prior To the accident .

anyway, I would love to hear POSITIVE advice and commentary to boost my confidence . if you are inclined to be negative , find elsewhere. Thank you
