    Why is the power cutting out bad? Wouldn’t they just stop working and have you come back later?

      Reasonable, logical thoughts would lead one to think that way… But unfortunately, anxiety works in mysterious ways.

        But what are you anxious about? Like what do you think will happen if the power goes out?

          It’s been 2 years, I have no idea. I definitely know that I didn’t consciously choose to start hyperventilating and losing the edges of my vision… It’s not like it’s anything I worry about now, it was a highly situational kind of anxiety. I know I just need to suck it up and make an appointment.
