for understanding Travis' situation because I do think it's a little different for someone who has bipolar disorder since anxiety can be related to bipolar itself not to mention co-exist in the form of PTSD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and/or OCD.
I'm sorry you're mother had to go through that.

I have panic attacks due to my PTSD. Whenever I hear certain sounds or a particular tone in a person's voice, it causes a great deal of anxiety. I also feel anxious whenever I'm having a manic episode (due to my bipolar) since I have so much energy I feel like I could jump out of my skin. I take Clonazepam for my bipolar, but I also find that it helps with my anxiety. The same is true for Fluoxetine which I take for bipolar depression.
