Summary
Dean starts to feel nauseous and a lump swells in his throat as he fights off the anxiety. He knows it's irrational, he knows Cas isn't going to leave him. He tries some of the breathing techniques his therapist taught him, (yeah, he goes to therapy, fuck you) but they’re not working. He finds his feet leading him toward his and Castiel’s bedroom, and then toward the closet. He finds his trembling hands opening the drawer and rifling through the piles of flannel to find it. The last bottle of whiskey left in the house.

Or, the one where Dean struggles with his anxiety but he refuses to break down. He has to stay strong, not just for his family, but for himself.
