entertainment">The now 22-year-old received a Xanax pill from her then boyfriend for the first time when she was eighteen. “It became something we did together.

The Xanax helped suppress that, albeit only temporarily. “Once I noticed that it allowed me to forget everything for a while and ease the pain, it was soon too late and it became a dark, bottomless pit.”
