The vibrant colors of the art gallery where she worked suddenly seemed garish and overwhelming. Sarah felt a tremor in her hands as she dropped the notice. Her coworker, oblivious, chattered on about the latest exhibit.

Her ears rang. She needed to be alone. She quickly mumbled an excuse and stumbled towards the employee bathroom. She locked the door and leaned against the cold porcelain, suddenly feeling the full weight of her situation.

She gasped for air, fighting the wave of nausea. She hated the feeling of losing control. She pressed her fingertips into her temples, trying to ward off the pressure building in her head.
