hey.
i'm curious.
what are the symptoms of an anxiety attack?

[salbutamol]

I think I would know if I was having an anxiety attack right now.

( he'll play along though. just to prove her wrong! )

Sweating
Shaking
Increased heart rate
Abnormal breathing
Dizziness
Headaches
Chest pain

[rottingly]

this is what i think happened
your throat tickled
you coughed
and you freaked out over it.

1/2

[salbutamol]

Give me like. 10 minutes.

🤡

[salbutamol]

( as it turns out, he only needs six. it's actually pretty easy to reread a handful of text messages back to back and stare at them until the words sort of start to make sense. )

I'm pretty sure I don't have asthma either.

( he also thinks that maybe he knew that already, but that's complicated and he doesn't want to get into it right now. )

[rottingly]

i'm pretty sure you have anxiety.

[salbutamol]

Huh.
I've used an inhaler my whole life.

[rottingly]

so you do have asthma?

[salbutamol]

Either I have asthma or someone lied to me.

[rottingly]

eddie
why would they lie about that?

[salbutamol]

I don't know.

( he thinks that maybe he knows )

Do you know where I could find an EpiPen?

[rottingly]

why do you need an epipen?
and i know someone who could get you one.

[salbutamol]

I just want to test something out.

[rottingly]

what are you testing? [ Really, Eddie. What? ]

[salbutamol]

If I'm really deathly allergic to cashews.

[rottingly]

please do no tell me you ate fucking cashews.

[salbutamol]

No but I think I'm going to.

[rottingly]

eddie
i swear to god if you eat one fucking cashew.

[salbutamol]

I'm going to eat a cashew.

[rottingly]

so you can get anaphylactic shock???

[salbutamol]

So I can find out if I'm actually allergic.

[rottingly]

can i get this fucking epipen first?

[salbutamol]

How long do you think it'll take?

This is pretty stressful, actually.

[rottingly]

i don't know
let me text someone.

[salbutamol]

Okay.

I'm probably going to lose my nerve pretty soon.
