Telex from Cuba

Dalia suffered acute and sustained anxiety attacks that lasted several weeks and felt, she told me, “Like I’ve dropped something priceless and fragile, and it’s about to hit the floor and smash into a million pieces. There’s nothing I can do – I’ve already dropped it and it’s going to smash into a million pieces. That feeling. It’s just left my hands. It’s just left my hands.”
