My Story
I, Karen Tyrrell, teacher recovered from post-traumatic stress disorder after parents at my school terrorized me until I could take no more. I experienced screaming night terrors, panic attacks and insomnia.
In Me and Her: A Memoir of Madness, I share my journey into mental illness and out through the other side into Recovery.
I overcame uncontrollable nerve wracking anxiety by empowering myself with pro-active coping skills.
I share my strategies in my self-help manual: Me and Him: A Guide to Recovery.
Crippling anxiety is our BIGGEST mental health problem in our ever increasing stressful lives.
Mental illness is growing in epidemic proportions. 50 % adult population will suffer from a mental illness at some time in their lives.

I used to take effexor for it’s antidepressant qualities. For anxiety i am currently on valium which isn’t as good as my previous panic attack/anxiety medication, which was addictive as hell and a bugger to come off (can you believe i forgot the name). My psychologist is my saving grace. Habe been seeing the same one for 7 years
Thanks Steph for sharing your medications and treatment plan for anxiety and depression. The MORE coping skills we have, the better we can manage our stress and anxiety levels 🙂
