Yea damn 60 mg.  I started on Paxil when I was 14...that stuff messed me up real good.  Mood swings I was nuts.  Finally I got onto Celexa which has been treating me better. I also stopped smoking weed because I smoked some stuff (which I can only assume was laced) and had a psychotic break...it wasn’t pretty spend a weekend on the 4th floor of the hospital... (loony bin) that place scared me.  Anyways it all started when I joined kindergarten.

Please bare with me, my writing is that of an amateur and my story is a little long...I have always been pretty aware of my surroundings and always worried too much whether people had the best of intentions where I'm concerned and what they were capable of. But all in all I managed to live a pretty normal life, no panic attacks that were obvious to others and an active social life. All that changed on December 27th 2005.

I have undergone the suffering of panic attacks for 2 years. I knew my trigger. It starts with alcohol.

Anxiety, a very big word which I’ve fought to beat more then ten years... And at the end
i consider my self that I won on it and K.O. it from my life...and i am writing here
because i felt every thing going with each one of you and i really care to assist any one
who has passed in what i passed in and who has felt what i was feeling too...               

My name is Anne and I have PTSD and bipolar.  My partner Caroline shares the same diagnoses.

There's no literature out there on couples.  I doubt that we're the only ones, though.

Although we have our fights, and although we don't always understand exactly what the other one is going through, Caroline is my best friend as well as my spouse.
