I'm just like, like, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what.

And then I get a trash bag, scoop it up and stick it in there and then tie it up super tight.

Wow.

Then it goes into the trash chute.

And standing there in rubber gloves next to the trash chute on my birthday, I'm just like, what is wrong with me?

Like, this is not the first time that this has happened.

Every single time I see a roach, I completely unravel.

Like, I just go nuts.

And I don't even hate bugs in general.

It's just something about this bug.

I don't know.

Like, I just snap.

And for some reason, when it happened this time, I was like, I'm a whole adult person.

I'm a science reporter.

This has to stop.

Not really.

I'm not really trying to get cozy with roaches, but...

I just want to figure out how to get to a place where I'm not terrified of them.

And obviously, I know this is something that a lot of people are afraid of.

And I wanted to figure out, is there something I can do so that the next time I see one, I don't completely lose my mind?
