Near Lurker:
My guess would be this storyline will lead to Hannelore adjusting her medication... I'm wondering whether we might get a closer look at what the heck was going on when we first met her.
Is it cold in here?:

--- Quote from: BenRG on 17 May 2015, 23:24 ---FWIW, I'm wondering if, rather than focus on maybe being sick, Jeph will focus on how this brush with mortality affects Hannelore's thinking. Maybe she starts brooding about all the things that she hasn't done yet because she is letting her fears paralyse her. So she writes a "things to do before I die" list. Some are sweet ('Have a first kiss'), some are silly ('Eat a fantastically unhealthy but delicious meal') and some show her wilder side ('Learn to pole dance').

This is a very good and plausible theory. Although Hanners has progressed a lot throughout the series, there are a lot of phobias still remaining. My opinion is that Hanners will not be cured before she finally gets laid. A lot of hygienic phobias can be cured by irresistible libido. She may need this scare to finally break out of her shell.

Global Moderator Comment We're deliberately open to mentally ill members here and something like this is jumping on an open wound to them. Please don't. Also don't take any more steps down to the road to advocating a sex life for Hannelore: creepiness lies at the end of it.

--- Quote from: Welu on 18 May 2015, 06:51 ---NilsO, OCD and mental health in general is not something that has an easy cure. People live with their mental health issues their whole lives and often only manage to find coping mechanisms that make it easier to function in daily life. Saying someone can just be "cured", especially with something as condescending as "loosen up and get laid", is ableist and ridiculously ignorant.

Think of it as a variant of exposure therapy. It might work. But my main argument was that your deeper instincts may overcome phobias, rational thinking, and learned behavior. Countless sex scandals support this theory.
Relax, it is just a comic.

I know there's a like button on this part of the forum but I feel a click of a button can't express how much I agree with Welu and IICIH.

Two mods have requested you stop this line of discussion, and I'm a third telling you not to. And being patronising towards one such mod is not going to help matters.
