The room feels cramped and suffocating. My mind unable to settle and fully assimilate Dr. Clarke's words.
Dr Clarke sets the clipped board on the glass table.
"I know you might not be comfortable in this room because it's a big shift from what you're used to, but it's what we have today." She rubs at her forehead and props her elbows on her knees rocking her body a bit as she stares at me.
Her eyes squint before she poses a question. "How have you been doing? It's not a simple question therefore I don't want a simple answer. If you feel good I want you to go in-depth on why you feel good."
I click my tongue and close my eyes.
Reopening them, I fixate my head in her direction, holding eye contact with her. I study her features realising that I've never even looked at her for more than a mere second.
She clears her throat and moves back in the seat reaching for the clipboard. "You're deflecting."
I chuckle and sit up on the couch, smirking, with my head tilted to one side, I squint. "How so?"
"Answer the damn question Maleek." She's now frustrated.
I lean my head back onto the wall, eyes trained on the dimmed lights above.
"Anxious, scared, unhappy and happy all while feeling void at the same time." I can feel her smiling from all across the room.
