It doesn't matter if its real or not its just loud. There is also the stress of knowing that no matter what you do or how good you are you may not be able to stop it from happening again---kind of like chinese water torture in that sense. Sure its just a drip of water it can't hurt you but you also can't stop it even if you want to...
Bean calls it anxiety but I'm beginning to wonder if its her being paranoid and not understanding the difference between being paranoid and having a anxiety. Does that make sense?
