Anxiety Screening Day

Subject: National Anxiety Screening Day, Coming next week

These things really bother me.They've emailed me this notice about anxiety screening. Does this mean that they think I should go? What sort of things have I done to make them think that I need to go to something like this? What else are they thinking about me?Do they think I'm crazy or something?

I can't stand to go to any kind of screening because you never know what you'll find out. You might go there as a healthy person and then come away with cancer or heart disease or anxiety.

I don't even like going to the North Campus. It's in a high-crime area of town you know. You could become a crime victim just walking out to your car way over there.

No, I don't think I should go. I mean this is for people who are really screwed up. Not people like me who have no problems. At least I think I have no problems. It makes me pretty nervous to even think that I may have a problem like anxiety. Well I probably don't. Or I hope I don't.But if I did then I would certainly need to go to this screening.

I don't like screens anyway. When I was little I used to sit and look out the back door which was a screen door. One time a wind came up and shut the door. It slapped me right in the face. I spent the rest of the summer with little screen-squares cut into my face where the screen smacked me.

Every time I think of being screened my face hurts.
