I definitely went through PAWS but unfortunately didn't know what it was at the time. It started with a big panic attack that led to around 2 months of major anxiety and sleep issues. My emotions and thoughts were all over the place, and I thought something was physically wrong with me. I fell under the category of binge drinker and didn't have any issues until I crossed that invisible line over a three week period over the summer. While by some standards I didn't drink as much as others, stopping sent my brain into overdrive.
