Sometimes I think of my brain as if it is a therapist.  I’ve been watching this show called Obsessed  where the therapists use something called exposure therapy.  They have these people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder sit through some version of their worst fears to see that they can get through it all right. 

My brain does that to me while I sleep, forcing me in nightmares to imagine worst possible scenarios.  While I sleep, my brain presents me with my worst fears. 

And then I wake up. 

Maybe my brain is trying to tell me something.
