꒰ ͜͡➸ you have an anxiety / panic attack

requested by @/Ghosttyz and @/xaylynnx

woo more trigger warnings—anxiety and panic attacks

i have severe GAD so this is both me projecting and comforting myself:')

also, a lot of these involve going non-verbal, since that happens to me a lot when i'm having an anxiety/panic attack. again, i am very much projecting lmao

—RAIN—

- he has anxiety as wells so he knows what it's like.
- granted, he has more control over it due to being a water ghoul, but that doesn't mean there aren't times where he just completely breaks.

you stared at the multiple piles of papers that were on your desk, sticky notes on top of them telling you when they needed to be done.

with both some ministry paper work and some classes you were taking to fill time, you were completely overwhelmed.

it felt like your heart stuttered as you took in a shaky breath, your eyes stinging with the buildup of tears.

"hey, dove." rain said as he walked into your shared room, glancing up at you as he took of his boots.

you didn't answer. the stress was too much for your mind to handle at the moment, making your ears ring.

"dove? you okay?" rain asked, walking over and putting his hand on your shoulder, feeling how tense your muscles were. you looked over at him, a shaky sigh leaving you.

with that sigh, all control you had of your emotions, making you start to cry.

you stumbled into rain, his arms quickly taking hold of you as he led you to sit on the ground.

"hey, shh, it's okay," rain whispered as he felt you start to shake. "can you breathe with me?" rain asked, keeping his voice soft. you tried to get out an answer, but failed, opting to nod your head. rain smiled, kissing your forehead.

"okay, c'mon, in for four," rain breathed in, you following his actions. "hold for four," rain said. you whimpered softly, making you breathe out a bit, but rain didn't scold you. he just tightened his arms around you, silently telling you that you were safe.

"out for four.." rain whispered, breathing out with you. you trembled slightly, rain bringing one of his hands to your head and massaging your scalp. "hold again," rain mumbled. you nodded, leaning into the ghoul and counting to four before restarting the exercise.

after about 7 minutes, you had stopped crying but you were still very disconnected and in your own mind, your body's trembling making rain's heart tug.

"can you name five things you can see?" rain asked. you swallowed, looking around the room. you realized that there were things around you but your throat closed up, leaving you unable to speak.

you looked back to rain, a bit panicked.

"shh, it's okay.. just point for me. that'll work, right?" rain offered. you nodded, pointing at the ghoul. rain chuckled softly, nodding, "yes, you can see me."

you looked back around the room, pointing at the bed.

"the bed?" rain asked. you nodded. rain smiled, kissing your temple. "what else?"
