Summary
"Player is tired. He's been tired a long time.
The funny thing is that Player wasn't even traumatised before the mental illnesses. Like, it's like the chicken and the egg, what came first? Well for Player it was the depression.
A ‘chemical imbalance’. How weird that a ‘chemical imbalance’ has wrecked his entire life. He always thought it would be his tendency to become entangled with dangerous criminals that would do that."
Player tried to kill himself and now they've put him on 'suicide watch'.

Summary
“Uhh, Ivy? I’m kind of bleeding.”
Ivy jumps up, dropping whatever gadget she was fiddling with onto the coffee table and assuming a sloppy defensive pose. Carmen tuts, walking forward and adjusting Ivy’s elbows with a careful hand.
“Carmen?! You’re bleeding?!”
Carmen rolls her eyes, “I got my period.”

I shamelessly use fanfiction to promote period equality and activism and feel good while doing it

Summary
The curtain is closed, casting the room in darkness despite the bright Argentinian sunlight outside the apartment. Player is buried under a heap of blankets on his bed, only the top of his brown mop of hair showing under the blankets. He’s curled up in a ball and Carmen can almost feel the miserable energy radiating off of him.
“Player?”
“Go away.”
Carmen takes a cautious step forward, sitting on the bed next to him and running a gentle hand through his hair. A soft sob comes from under the blanket.
“Player… are you feeling okay?”
or
Player has PMDD and is not having a good time. The team helps him out.

Summary
“1, 2, 3, 4… then 4, 3, 2, 1 out, okay?” Player blinks, his head lifting ever so slightly. Red. Red is counting for him.
Player tries to follow along with her breathing, quickly becoming frustrated. His head is swimming. The world has become a blur around him. He slips slightly to the side, his head coming to rest against his carpet. His head feels sharp, but floaty. He needs to do something.
“R- Red- I-”
Carmen’s counting falters slightly. “Player?”
Player gasps again for air, the carpet in front of him swimming. “I’m– gonna — pass… out.”
aka Player has an anxiety attack because he didn't take his meds, and Carmen and Team Red helps him out (over video call)
