Summary

Paul’s support group friend Stevie C shares about growing up in a violent and verbally abusive environment, learning to manage his temper, and discovering that his seemingly-out-of-nowhere panic attacks, racing thoughts and insomnia (6 days without sleep) were related to his experiences as a child. He also shares about having to take meds to ease the panic attacks and insomnia and reevaluate his previous ideas about meds being a crutch.
