My day begins to the sound of Unlimited Time by Jake Stylish playing from my phone as my alarm sound.

"Good morning, my love."

"Good morning, Jake."

  My favorite part of waking up is hearing his voice. I'm glad he can still do his tour and be around me at all times.

"How did you sleep?"

"I slept great."

"Did you dream of me?"

"Of course I did! Who else would I dream about, Jake?"

  These little things such as the crinkle in the corner of his brown eyes are what make these days worth it. However, for some reason I'm still always sad.

"I have an appointment with my therapist today."

"Can I come?"

"Of course!"

"I hope everything is okay. You haven't seen the therapist since before I showed up."

"It's nothing. I've just been really sad lately."

"Okay. Let's get ready!"

  I pull myself out of bed and prepare myself for the events ahead by going into the bathroom to change, brush my teeth, and do my hair.

  Upon leaving the bathroom into my room I see Jake is completely prepared and ready for the day.

  I drive Jake and I to the therapists office and silently listen to him ramble about what's been going on lately. I know people will think I'm crazy if i respond so I don't. He understands that.

  I get called into my therapists office and am greeted by her. "Good morning!" I reply.

"What seems to be the problem?"

"I've just been really sad lately."

"Do you cope with it?"

"I don't really know."

"What about fantasizing a lot?"

"I'd say I do."

"How often?"

"All the time."

"What about right now?"

  I look over at Jake and back to my therapist. I contemplate on if he'll be taken away from me. I don't want him to go. I love him.

"Tell her the truth. I want you healthy!"

  I smile to him and nod. I look my therapists the eyes and say "Yes, Ms. Greenswald."

  "Okay. I'm going to have you fill out this questionnaire." She hands me a pencil, the paper, and a clip board. "I'll be right back to check on if you're done.

  I stare at the paper and slowly answer the questions. After 10 minutes Ms. Greenswald checks on me and i'm only half way done so she gives me another 15.

"Have you finished yet?"

"Yes."

  I hand her the materials and she glances over it. "Okay! I will be back after looking over them! Let us know if you need anything."

"There's no need to be afraid."

Jake.

"I am afraid. I don't want to loose you."

"But you never even had me in the-"

I stop my thought abruptly. He's doesn't even know me in real life. I need to stop this. This is why i'm sad.

  "Hey i'm back! How are you feeling?" Mrs. Greenswald says as she re-enters the room. "I'm doing okay."

"That's great! Unfortunately I have some sad news. I found out what you have." I freeze. Please can I be fine! "What's up?" I ask hesitantly. "I'm sorry but you have a day dreaming disorder." Those are the words that changed my life... for the better.
