Right after I got married in the year 2000 I went to a psychiatrist, and she said I had clinical depression.

I suffered from panic attacks in 2003 from being in a coma for 3 weeks. Someone who I had thought was a friend had put something in my drink which then I went into cardiac arrest. Therefore, I had an anoxic brain injury. Shortly after, I had panic attacks which debilitated me. It affected my home, work, and social life. In addition, I began to have phobias.

I was diagnosed with anxiety in college in 2003. There have been ups and downs but I am finally in a stable point with my medication.
