Power Line : The Story of Me Mario and Your Mom - Johanna/Gilbert - Mental Health Awareness Month Prompt 10 : Panic Attack

Prompt : Write a fic in which a character has a panic attack (whether it be due to an anxiety/panic disorder or because of some other trigger)

Johanna entered Gilbert's office to ask a question only to find him clutching his chest and breathing heavily. She frowned for a moment, sad to see that anxiety had, once again, overtaken the man, but she quickly put on a smile and entered.

"Hey, Gil" she greeted. He just glanced up at her for a moment before returning his focus to his rapid heartbeat. She walked over and sat in the chair next to his desk, which had been put in there for whenever she came to check on him, which was often. "Panic attack?" A nod. "Okay, look at me"

Gilbert did as he was told, though his gaze darted around rapidly rather than stay fixed on her face. "Good job" Johanna praised before holding her hands out, palms up, to him. He told them in his own and squeezed tight, shutting his eyes and breathing tightly as he did so. Johanna winced slightly at the sudden pressure around her hands, but said nothing. "Did anything specifically bring this on?"

"I don't know"

"Okay" Johanna nodded, her smile remaining. "That's okay" she reassured. "Just focus on me, okay? You're safe"

Then, the phone rang, and Gilbert began shaking like a leaf. "It's okay" Johanna told him. "Someone else will pick up. You aren't the only employee here"

"Useless" Gilbert chastised himself. Johanna shook her head earnestly.

"You aren't useless" she replied. "You're just freaked out right now, and that's okay. Focus on me"

This went on for about ten more minutes until Gilbert finally calmed down and opened his eyes again, this time solidly looking at his girlfriend. "I'm sorry" he apologized with a hefty exhale. Johanna just smiled, reaching forward and cupping his face in her hand.

"No 'sorry's" she told him. "It's okay"

"I just wish I wasn't such a panicky mess"

"I don't mind" she replied and Gilbert smiled for the first time since the panic attack had initially gripped him.

"Thank you"

If anyone has heard of either Rick R. Reed or Don Zolidis, then I'll give you like twenty cents in pennies and a kiss on the cheek.

BIIIIIGGGG lore dump

Just wanna flex, so here's a bunch of random things about my Degrees of Seperation, or as I call them, social jumps.

Disclaimer: these "jumps" can be anything ranging from a conversation/ acknowledgement to an actual friendship.

I'm two social jumps away from Acappella Group Pentatonix, Twitch Streamer Tubbo, Rapper Dan Bull, Broadway actor Reeve Carney, actor Gaten Matarazzo, and Mariah freaking Carey.

And one jump away from the playwright Don Zolidis, Twitch Streamer Eret, and CG5. Also from numerous tumblr artists and TCFSV author Bonesandthebees but that isn't very impressive.

Now that I think about it, I'm two to three jumps away from like... every modern MCYT. That's freaking cool.

Am I the only speech and debate kid who has a burning hatred for Don Zolidis?

[myncisworld-2point0]

I just ordered the book The Seven Torments of Amy and Craig (a Love Story) by Don Zolidis, because the summary screamed Ziva and Tony.

FUN FACT: The German title is called Dies ist keine Liebesgeschichte (This is not a Love Story) - which I think is an interesting “coincidence”.

[theatricalfreak]

It's called the ai play by Don Zolidis it's about a girl that uses a chat bot to right her paper on the great Gatsby and gets sent to a school for "genius children" I don't want to spoil all of it though but basically a bunch of stuff ensues and it was really fun

The first play was today and it went absolutely amazing!!! I got so many compliments on my acting and it was so fun I can't wait till tomorrow get to do it all again!!!!

I love a chaotic author 😂😂

Book Review: THE SEVEN TORMENTS OF AMY AND CRAIG by Don Zolidis

“Janesville, Wisconsin (cold in the sense that there is no God)...”

In 1994, self-proclaimed D&D nerd Craig achieves a remarkable accomplishment. He starts a relationship with Amy, his high school’s beautiful resident over-achiever. But the story doesn’t end there-- over the course of their senior year, Amy and Craig go through a series of break-ups and make-ups as they figure out who they want to be and where they want to go with graduation looming. 

The Seven Torments of Amy and Craig is told in a non-linear timeline, and offers a hysterical and poignant exploration of the highs and lows of first love and senior year. Zolidis’s playwriting background ensures that his debut novel is full of compelling dialogue and vivid characters, with drama unfolding in a tantalizing but authentic way. This story is seriously funny, and serious but funny, all at once. A triumphant coming-of-age tale.

In the wake of her parents' divorce, Sydney is uprooted, moving into a dingy apartment with her mom in a new school district. Her new school is like another planet, with its over-privileged student body, teachers who go by their first names, and the social ladder topped by the nationally ranked speech team. After falling in with a group of fellow misfits, Sydney helps craft a plan to knock the cool kids down a peg: she will infiltrate the speech team and ensure they don't win nationals this year. But the line between faking it with her new crew and truly feeling like one of them gets blurred after Sydney falls for the rock star of the team. And the fraught history between her speech coach and her father divides her loyalties. As nationals loom closer, Sydney has to decide once and for all whose side she's on..
