12 Sep Anxiety

I have these… these recurrent attacks of anxiety, doc.

How often?

Oh, pretty often, it’s terrible.

Tell me about them.

It’s almost like a nightmare… but I’m wide awake! My palms start to sweat, I feel shortage of breath, a million things come to my mind at once and after they’re gone I’m completely drained and I have these horrible horrible headaches. You gotta help me, doc.

Anything in particular about them, besides the symptoms?

Oh, they always happen in the beginning of the month I can tell you that!

Is there anything that could cause you distress in the beginning of the month?

Yes! Yes, doc, yes!

What’s that?

Rent.
