It’s 3pm and you are taking a test for class. The room is silent and all you can hear is pens scribbling at paper, maybe one or two heavy stress sighs. Then IT HAPPENS. A loud deep whale call erupts the room. Your stomach has betrayed you again.

You hear a knock on the door and raise an eyebrow with suspicion. You weren't expecting any visitors today… and you've listened to too many crime podcasts to know where this is going.

In an instant a string of numbers ruined your day. What should have been a quick visit to the doctors turned into a body image confidence downer.
