my side
I've listened to what other's had to say about me, like they know me, thinking they got it all figured out. yelling at me trying to show me that without them I'm nothing like I owe them something, are we really gonna play these games now? I got people telling me to listen to more than one story when that's all they are listening to but when someone wants to tell you different you don't want to hear it that's kinda rude.

Dear Doctor..
I think it is normal to feel anxiety when going to see the doctor. I think it starts as a child, going to see a doctor when you are sick or even for a checkup. But we know they are here to help, and having faith that the doctor can fix you, it would be silly to ever be scared of your doctor right?
