Whenever the lights went off and the room became quiet, I was convinced that something\u2014or someone\u2014was hiding under my bed. No matter how old I got, that fear stayed with me, and eventually I decided I needed professional help<strong>\u2026.

I told him I was scared, that I kept imagining someone underneath the bed, and that it was starting to make me feel like I was losing my mind. He listened carefully, then calmly told me that if I came to see him three times a week for a year, he believed we could work through the fear together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I asked how much each visit would cost, and he said it was $80 per session. After doing the math in my head, I told him I would sleep on it and come back if I needed to. Months passed, and one day I ran into the psychiatrist on the street. He recognized me immediately and asked why I had never returned for treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I smiled and told him that a bartender had already cured me for only $10. The psychiatrist looked surprised and asked how a bartender could possibly solve a fear like that. I grinned and said, \u201cHe told me to cut the legs off the bed\u2014now nobody can hide under there.\u201d Sometimes the simplest solution is also the funniest one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever since I was a child, I had carried the same strange fear every night.
