I’m not quite sure why “essays” are scarier than “assignments” or “assessments” but for some reason, the mere mention of this word leads to sweaty palms, tears in the eyes, and furious twitching.
Judgement Index

Advice and Treatment for PTSD
For people suffering psychological trauma, often the hardest part is overcoming the fear of accessing help.
