“Hi! Please sit down. Don’t be shy and make yourself comfortable.” The woman wearing a doctor’s coat was perky when she greeted Ella and her Math teacher inside her office. They were in Manila Doctor’s Hospital where Sir Kenneth told the senior high school student that someone could probably help her. At first, Ella was pretty hesitant because checking with a psychiatrist felt weird. She wasn’t going crazy, was she? That’s what people usually thought of the people who had to seek the help of a psychiatrist. However, her Math teacher was pretty persuasive and she could not blame him. Since yesterday… after that encounter… her head didn’t stop hurting and the painkillers she took could only help her as much. After the effects wore off, she would be back to having the headaches coupled wit
