Chapter 1: A squeezing feeling

A few weeks ago, Rainbow Dash went to the doctor's for a checkup. She had started to feel a squeezing feeling inside of her stomach every time she was in a crowd. And she had started to have panic attacks. Panic Attacks!! Rainbow Dash was the coolest pony ever! She didn't get panic attacks from just looking at a crowd!  The doctor had just today called her back in, to give her her diagnosis. Rainbow Dash was walking to the doctor's with Fluttershy in tow, and for the first time when she looked at her, sympathized with her. She knew how she was feeling. They walked into the doctor's office and didn't even have time to sit down before the receptionist was yelling out, "Rainbow Dash? The doctor is ready for you!" with the happy-ish tone receptionists are required to have so the patients didn't get too stressed out. Rainbow and Fluttershy walked back to the doctor and sat down in their respective places. Te doctor walked into the room. "Rainbow Dash, I'm going to cut right to the chase. You have Anxiety."
