as someone who is addled by anxiety from PTSD, when you give me a clear objective and an actual fight or flight scenario, it almost acts like a grounding moment and I am able to focus my attention to the task at hand.

What sorta scrapes are you getting yourself into, mister?

The new stuff and the directly-lifted-from-the-game stuff all felt seamlessly integrated. The scene in Ellie’s bedroom is carbon copy of the game and, unlike other such scenes earlier in the season, I was fully immersed and riveted.

And breezing through the university sequence was a good call — they hit everything they needed to without adding another zombie fight.

I used to have random panic attacks and general anxiety disorder. Once I got off nearly all meds (I just take a little prozac) the anxiety and attacks went away. It was hard, but once I stopped Klonopin that really helped.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
