Welu:
Global Moderator Comment While this thread may be about a comic and its characters, as IICIH said, this is a supportive place for those with mental health issues and the mod team works to ensure that.
You wouldn't (or at least really shouldn't) tell a person that getting laid will cure them of their mental health issues so don't say that about a fictional character in a place where it will be seen by people dealing with similar issues (or preferably don't say it at all). It's gross, over-simplifies the problems, and is incredibly insulting.
That is my final comment on this.
Thrillho:
Back to the comic.
She scratched a spot, or a mole, and it bled. That shit happens to me all the time. I assumed this comic was an indication of 'Hannelore freaks out over something, perhaps unnecessarily' rather than 'THERE IS SOMETHING MEDICALLY WRONG WITH HER'.

As I posted yesterday, Jeph said that this week's strips are very much something from his own life. We know that Jeph on occasion has near-disabling anxiety attacks and Hannelore who, if anything else, has even more serious anxiety issues, must suffer in the same manner sometimes. So, yes, this week is going to be about there being something medically wrong with Hannelore but not any kind of dermatological complaint. Instead, I suspect that we're going to see just how destructive anxiety can sometimes be to a sufferer and how a very good set of friends can help her at least confront it if not cure it.
Thrillho:
Probably a poor choice of phrasing on my part, I didn't mean to imply that anxiety is not also a medical issue. I get anxiety attacks also, I just - I dunno, I never considered them medical, more mental health... but then your brain is in your body...

Timemaster:
I only hope for Hannelore that she will not freak out completely and get herself in danger of any kind. I think of the old episode when she hit her head on the cupboard door (wearing the worry-hat) and recieved a bleeding headwound.
She panicked and ran only half-dressed through the city to CoD to get help.
She has come a long way since then, but mortal fear of cancer may lead to completely irrational behaviour.
Keep calm, Hanners. Everything will be fine.
