I fucking love the way this movie portrayed anxiety and anxiety attacks (though not necessarily the way other characters reacted to them ((namely the child)) but that’s another story)

tell me anxiety isn’t a big deal when Tony fucking Stark thought he’d been poisoned the first time he had an attack

I actually loved the other characters’ reactions— PARTICULARLY the kid— because they were so painfully realistic. Tony was treated as fragile, broken, or his panic attacks were seen (in the kid’s case) as AMUSING. Meanwhile, the audience is sitting there wanting to punch every last person who doesn’t GET IT in the face.

Because it’s not just the anxiety itself that’s scary, it’s having people you thought you could trust letting you down.

The people in my showing actually thought that the kid triggering Tony into a panic attack was fucking hilarious because a bunch of the shits laughed and it was very hard for me not to start screaming and breaking out into an anxiety attack of my own.
