Therapy only works if your IQ and EQ are lower than the therapist.

Their words never matter. What do they even mean by “treatment of the mind”?

Isn’t that funny?

Well, I had an appointment. Yes, because I’m stupid. I wanted to be free of my mind. I wanted to know if, just if, there was any solution.

Suddenly, I was there. In that room. The room was no different from a doctor’s chamber.

So I realized that I am sick. If I’m not, then what am I doing in a doctor’s chamber?

The doctor said, “What is your sickness?”

My mind went blank. It was so sudden that I thought, What am I doing here? I must be okay.

I didn’t notice that I remained silent. The room was silent... Pin drop silent... And suddenly, only silence...

Again he said, Are you okay?

I wanted to speak. I didn’t know what was wrong with me. Why were there no words?

Why was the whole world of mine, the one made of words, suddenly just blank?

He asked again, Are you hungry?
It felt familiar. I said, Yes.

He started speaking.
You can take your time. We can even talk later.

Later, I said.

Each of his words was memorized. it was for everyone.

Don’t you sleep properly? he asked. 

My face was pale, and my eyes were bigger than usual. They looked tired. It was easy to guess.

“I feel sleepy, but I force myself not to sleep,” I said. He asked, Why?

I was irritated by then. “I don’t know,” I replied in my cracky voice.

Are you sure? Maybe we can have multiple sessions, and , you can talk. How does that sound Salsabil?

Yeah thanks, I said.

I was about to walk out of the chamber when another patient was coming in.

I stopped so she could go in first. She entered and sat in that chair.
I was about to leave when I heard, 

“What is your sickness?”
It was the counselor asking the next patient.

I went out. Disappointed. Stupid. Fooled. Sick as ever. With no treatment.

Because there isn’t any treatment.!

As I say,
