The connection between abuse and anxiety – one woman’s experience
When I was living with my partner, I was on the maximum dosage of anti-anxiety medication that was allowable. A higher dosage would not have been safe for me. Still, I was anxious all the time. My partner saw this and said “clearly you are mentally ill”. And sometimes I thought he was right. But now that we are separated, I am not on any medication at all and except for when I have to occasionally see him because of our son, I don’t experience anxiety. — Charlene Price
