In the Beginning part 2

Airica was having panic attacks and I was having acute anxiety due to her episode and because my business was quickly circling the drain. We both started taking Paxil. Such a romantic time, both of us on powerful psychotropic drugs at the same time. It was a good thing we were on meds because the fun was just starting. My business finally when kaput and in the process we lost our house. We didn't really lose it. We knew where it was the whole time. People just came and told us that we couldn't live there any more.

I started a new career at a technology company and things started going better for us. Both Airica and I stopped taking Paxil, but we were taking medication for depression.

Even though we still didn't know what caused Airica's issue while we were in California, she didn't have any more episodes and we pretty much got back to a normal life. It wasn't until years later that anxiety would become a big problem for me.
