--- Quote from: dawolf on 04 Dec 2015, 23:51 ---However, my point wasn't about me, but about Dora. She's stressed from work, doesn't know who to promote etc, talks to her girlfriend about it and the response is: drugs or psychologist (ok, fair difference on the word).
It's not a common (yep, a better word) response in the UK IMO for what are very minor issues really.

I think that you would benefit from reading more about Dora in the archives. This isn't an isolated incident. She has a history of paranoid ideation and delusions of betrayal that poisoned her first on-screen relationship - With Marten. She also has a similar difficulty dealing with her (admittedly long-time douchebag) older brother because she constantly sees betrayal where it isn't.
Under no circumstances is this about workplace stress or indecisiveness about who to promote. These are merely the most recent symptoms.

Tova:
Pizza Girl seemed pretty healthy.
Probably why she gets no screen time, come to think of it.
BenRG:
Emily and Claire both have definite psychological issues but in neither case would I call them 'crippling problems'. Indeed, from her words to Clinton in Strip 2999, I understand that Emily regards her issues as a key part of her individual identity and feels that others should apologise to her for trying to sandwich her into their definition of 'normal' when she is quite happy with her own normality, thank you very much.
Neko_Ali:
I think that Dora is aware of her problems. She's even aware of some of the causes and reasons of those problems. She just doesn't want to have to deal with them. It's one part accustomed rut and one part avoidance of discomfort. She feels maybe she's not in the best shape, but she's good enough and trying to get better is so hard, so why even?

How can you tell? She was only in two strips or so… and running around pretending to be a super hero doesn't seem super healthy to me.
