When I was 23 I attempted suicide, slit an artery in my arm but was saved. I got to that point in life due to alcohol. I was not an alcoholic when I started feeling shaky symptoms, I'd sit in class and would have to grab a desk to stabilize myself because if I didn't I'd have a panic attack..weird feeling to explain. But basically i couldn't breathe while I was sitting in class and felt like I had vertigo. Then when I turned 19 which is the legal drinking age in canada,I started drinking, which started off good because my inner anxiety went away but due to depending on alcohol now I'm either drunk or in withdraws which includes paranoia and anxiety which sucks
