(QUICK THING BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE- I added an aftermath to the last comic that is kinda needed to properly understand this one, & just in case some of y'all haven't seen it, just go to "←prev" down below and it should be properly linked up )

I like to think that, while Leo has seen & helped Donnie through panic attacks before, Donnie has rarely, if ever seen Leo go through a panic attack; hence why he is unsure what would be best to help Leo right now. so he does what he knows how to; relay information and facts. His voice helps ground Leo through it.
"I used to have panic attacks, here's how you turn a woman off" is so logical coming from the man who was hospitalized because his girlfriend was mistaken for his wife.
Person B, going through the restaurant’s menu: No. Ugh, where’s the good stuff?
Person A, half jokingly: I thought you were an alcoholic.
Person B: Exactly. I’d need at least, like, four beers — without food — to get slightly buzzed, and my stomach can’t fit over 2 beers in it. I’m small. I’ll have a rum, neat.
anyway on the plus side we get to keep the tooth we are having extracted and I think that'll be cool. we keep joking about putting it on a necklace or something
Been having panic attacks off and on all day today. At first I thought it was because of my final assignments before I graduate this month. They're really big, and I have a presentation Monday. But I don't think it's that, the slides are done, and I got some good practicing in.
But in my haze I remembered what it ACTUALLY is. I paid my rent today and was reminded that I only have a little over thirty days before I have to move. That means I only have about a week to let the landlord know that I'm moving. And that means the landlord will start to tour our house, and request that it is clean (at least in the past I've had landlords do this). Unfortunately, that means I will probably be doing cleaning, while packing, during my finals.
Apparently it all hit me at once. My finals, my move, the worst of my anxieties triggered all at once.
What's worse, I have a car on jack stands in my Garage that doesn't currently work. I received it completely non-functional, and about twelve weekends of work later the engine is going good. Now, it does run, but it does not, uhh, have wheels. A family member gifted it to me as a project, but neglected to send me the title, so even if it DID work, I'd have to drive it illegally. Asked them for the paperwork a month ago and haven't heard an update. It'll probably cost me around $400 to ship it to my next place, which'll suck, but I'll probably just bite the bullet on that one. At least I can drive it onto the ramp.
Oh yeah, and I forgot to tell the landlord the back deck is rotting and I fell through it, so I gotta get on that too. Just trying to get past today with a modicum of work done, and I'll be happy enough. Maybe I'll skip work Monday.
That is to say, no one thing stresses me out this much, but the culmination of things. Well let's just say, peantic attak.
Sun: How traumatized are you on a scale of one to ten?
Lunar: I am traumatized, but I’m at the point I’m treating it like a puppy. Like I start having a panic attack because PTSD and I just go ‘hey, hey, puppy. You want a treat? We can have ice cream if we calm down! C’mon boy, ice cream!’ And then I’m calm again and I’ve eaten ice cream.
Sun: …What the fuck…?
Moon: I taught him that! That’s my son! Im so proud!
honestly i dont like the bi-lesbian.carrd someone made bc it was originally using my flags but now it has no mention of them whatsoever. and i feel like it was probably due to that ass who put me on a callout and was literally stalking me, claiming im "dangerous" or whatever bc of some fiction related opinions?? it just feels rude that ive spent so much time making a space safe for fellow mspec lesbians and mspec gays on my bi-lesbian blog and compiling information explaining the use of the labels and its history to fight against exclusionist hate and creating the flags and symbols for the community only for a now somewhat commonly linked source for bi lesbianism to not even mention my flags and symbols which were made before the mspec lesbian flags shown on there. like maybe im thinking too much into it and it has nothing to do with the callout but considering some (but not all) of the flags shown off are from people who have spread my callout before... :/
the person i cut off because they said something racist. man I wish I did that when they yelled at me constantly for wiping in a dungeon not once but twice and the way they treated my current group of people
