Genji Shimada
⋆ Genji knows how to deal with panic attacks, because he was experiencing them when he was in Blackwatch
⋆ Whenever he was having a panic attack, he was going to Angela, because he trusted her and she was a doctor, and knew how to deal with it
⋆ He picked up some things from her, when she was calming him down, so now he knows what he should do
⋆ When you have a panic attack, he would take his mask off, so it would be easier for you to focus on breathing with him
He took off his mask and focused his eyes on you. "Hey, look at me." He grabbed your hands, squeezing them lightly, speaking softly. "Breath in…" He took a deep breath and you followed. "And out. One more time, okay?"
⋆ Genji is not leaving you until he knows you're okay
⋆ As soon as you're breathing is under control, he'll ask what happened. You don't have to tell him if you don't want to, he's going to respect that
⋆ He's going to give a hug and will ask what would cheer you up
Hanzo Shimada
⋆ Hanzo is similar to Genji, he has experienced panic attacks, but he didn't have anyone to comfort him
⋆ So he's gonna a bit lost when it happens, but he's gonna do his best to help you
⋆ He's going to gently hold you his arms, whispering things to help you calm down
"I'm here, darling. I'm not leaving you, everything's gonna be alright." He murmured, kissing the top of your head, hoping it would help at least a bit
⋆ He'll wipe your tears away, while asking if there's anything he could for you to help you
⋆ When you're calm and feel better, Hanzo will bring you some water
Cole Cassidy
⋆ Cole will let you play with his metal hand, so you can get distracted
⋆ He knows a bit about them, because once saw Genji having panic attack during blackwatch times and decide to help him
⋆ He's going to help with calming your breathing
⋆ He can also give his poncho if you feel like hiding from the world (even his hat if you really want)
"You're safe pumpkin, it's gonna be okay." He whispered, kissing your forehead
⋆ He'll also talk about random things to distract you even more
⋆ And joking to cheer you up
Gabriel Reyes/Reaper
⋆ He may seem like rough man, but when you're crying and shaking, he's soft and gentle
⋆ Wiping your tears away, not daring to leave you until you're okay
⋆ and what I mean by that, is he won't leave you until he sees you're okay, you can say what you want, he's not leaving until he's sure that everything is fine, this man can read you like a open book
⋆ Holding your hands, helping you breathe
⋆ You can hide your face in his chest if you wish
"Breathe in...And out, you're doing great honey." He smiled a bit, gently caressing your hand with his thumbs
⋆ Reyes is going to have conversation about these panic attack/s with you, because he what's yo know how to help
⋆ For example, getting rid of someone or something that is stressing you out
Lucio Corrieira dos Santos
⋆ Lucio was quite lost when you happened to have a panic attack, but that doesn't mean he would leave you
⋆ He would hold you close to him, murmuring random song to distract you
"I've got you, ____."
⋆ When you calm down, he would softly ask if you want to talk about this, of course respecting if you would say no
⋆ But he's still gonna bring up the topic later, he's just worried about you and wants to help you
Jamison Fawkes/Junkrat
⋆ He has on idea what to do honestly
⋆ When it happened for the first time, he was panicking a bit, because he had no idea what he should do
⋆ Right after he made sure you were okay, he went to Mako to ask him what he should do next time this happens
⋆ Mako explained it all to him, so next time you would get panic attack, Jamison would be prepared
⋆ He did his best to help with calming down your breathing
"You're doing amazing, mate. Just one more time." He kept you close to him, in case you wanted a hug
Niran Pruksamanee
⋆ Niran is a medic, so it's obvious he had to deal with someone having panic attack before
⋆ So you're in good hands, he knows what to do and he will take care of you
⋆ He's upset that you happen to have a panic attack, because he wishes that you could be fine. But he understands, it happens sometimes when life is too much
⋆ The moment he sees you sitting on the floor, with tears in your eyes as you wrap your arms around yourself, when you seem to be zoned out - he knows he has to help
⋆ He sits down in front of you, and starts talking to you
"Hey, darling. Can you look at me? I need you to look at me, okay? You're safe here, it's okay." Niran says reassuringly, with a concern on his face.
⋆ Once he gets your attention on him, he does his best to distract you. He doesn't want to overwhelm you, so he tries to keep it simple
Niran opens his palm, as his lotus made of biolight blooms in his hand. It shimmers in his hands as he looks at you. "Now focus, my darling. Tell me what you see, what you think. I want to know all your thoughts." Nirans says as the lotus flower floats above his palm.
⋆ He keeps you distracted until he sees you're feeling better. After that he takes you to a safer, calmer place to take care of you and talk about the panic attack you just had. What caused it, what he can do to help prevent panic attack in the future and asks if there's something more behind your behavior that caused the panic attack
⋆ Obviously he will suggest seeing a therapist or psychologist if you're having panic attacks often, because he may knows how to 'bring you back to reality', but he's aware that there might be need of some more professional help
Ramattra
⋆ Ramattra seen panic attack before, but only from afar. He does not know much about them, besides the fact that they're caused by too much stress
⋆ He has never experienced a panic attack himself, so when you have one - he's not quite sure what to do
⋆ He knows something bad is going on inside your head, when he sees you shaking, zone out and try to find a safe place where you can hide
⋆ He quickly realizes it's a panic attack and follows you
⋆ He's not sure what to do and he's not sure what to say in a moment like this
"Look at me." Ramattra says, it's almost a demand, but it's much more softer than you have heard from him before. "What can I do to help? I don't want to cause you more stress."
⋆ Ramattra will do whatever you ask him to. Talking to you, holding you, finding a way to distract you. It doesn't matter, he just wants you to feel better
⋆ He may not be should what he should talk about, so he will ask you. If your answer won't give him any ideas, he might start explaining how the modifications he did to himself work, no matter if you heard it thousand times before
⋆ Once you feel better, he will ask about the panic attack, most likely hours after it or even days. He will ask where it came from, what exactly it is, what causes it and how to help. He may not care about other human, but as always, you're an exception
⋆ So after getting all the information, Ramattra will be ready to help you next time
