Posted on June 29, 2020 by Detrecto

The problem with anxiety is that you can be merrily going along in your day humming some unrecognisable 80’s electro track in your head and then… BLAM! You remember the time you accidentally picked up the wrong can in the bathroom and sprayed shaving foam into your armpit instead of deodorant.
