Frazzled Nerves

Abby Anderson x Fem!Reader (College AU)

Word Count: 1.5k (this one is short and sweet)

Warnings: Stressed Reader, Mentionings of anxiety attacks, forgetting to eat, massages

Summary: It’s the day before finals week and you’re stressed out about your Biology final. Your girlfriend Abby shows up at your dorm when she can’t get ahold of you and ends up helping you relax.

If there was one thing you wish someone told you about college was that it’d ruin your life. Hours upon hours of work that you finished only to be given new work. Some of your professors didn’t care that you were literally drowning in homework, and others - while sympathetic - said that the work was necessary. You had a goal in life and it required going to college, but sometimes you wanted to drop out. Your social life was strained because you weren’t the type to go out and get wasted a night before exams. And speaking of exams, you were stressed out from the amount of material you needed to study for finals. You’re sitting at your desk, barely processing what you’re reading because you were exhausted. Your biology final is the first one tomorrow morning and it is worth half of your grade. So rightfully, you were freaking out. You were so focused that you hadn’t answered any of your texts or even knew where your phone was.

A knock sounds at your door, making you sigh and put your pen down. You get up from the chair, wincing when you realize that your legs had fallen asleep, and walk to the door. You open it and feel a small rush of energy when you lock your eyes with Abby’s blue ones. She must have texted one of your dormmates to let her in.

“Hey, baby.” You smile at her, moving aside so she can step into your room.

“Is everything alright, Y/n?” Abby asks in concern, “You haven’t responded to my texts and when I called you earlier it went to voicemail.”

“Shit, I’m sorry, Abby. I’ve been studying since I woke up this morning.” You sigh and run a hand through your hair, “I don’t know where my phone is so it’s probably dead by now.”

“You’ve been studying all day?” Abby sounds even more concerned now, “Have you eaten anything?” You bite your lip and look away from her. No, you haven't eaten anything. You didn’t have the time to with how much work you had to get done. Abby sighs and you watch with furrowed brows as she walks to your laptop and starts exiting out of your tabs.

“Abby!” You gasp, “What are you doing?” You rush over to her, but she gently pushes you away from the desk. You couldn’t hide the distressed look on your face and it makes Abby’s eyes soften. She sits down in your chair, closing your notebook and pulling you onto her lap.

“Baby, you need to relax. Stressing yourself out over this exam is going to make you sick.” Abby cuddles you against her, “I’m going to get us something to eat, and when I come back you’re going to relax with me, okay?” She was speaking in her dom voice. The soft, soothing voice that makes you feel all fuzzy when she uses it.

“Okay.” You whisper, nodding your head.

“Good girl.” Abby kisses your forehead and you get off of her so she can get up, “Do you want the usual order from Minty’s or something else?”

“You’re going to Minty’s?” Your eyes widen, “But, Minty’s is all the way across campus.”

“That’s okay. I know you like their shakes, so I don’t mind having to drive there. Now, do you want the same meal or not?”

“Yes, please.” You nod, shyly crossing your arms over your stomach when it makes a noise.

“Alright, I’ll be right back. And no going back to work. You’re relaxing for the rest of the night.” Abby points at you and you sigh but nod your head. She leaves your room and since she said no more studying you decide to clean up your desk. You take a deep breath to try and ease your nerves as you do, making sure to put everything where they go. Once that was done, you went searching for your phone and put it on the charger. You couldn’t sit down, too anxious to get back to studying so you ended up pacing the room until you hear Abby knock on your door.

You let her in, taking the drink coaster from her hands and watching as she hangs your dorm keys back up, “When did you take my keys?” You question her and the smell of the food makes your stomach rumble.

“I took it on my way out.” Abby chuckles, walking over to the beanbags you have in the corner. She takes your food out of the bag and hands it to you after you put the drink coaster on the floor. You smile happily, opening the container and immediately digging into it, “Thank you, babe.”

“You’re welcome.” Abby smiles at you, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear, “Now, don’t eat too fast or you’ll choke. You’re supposed to be relaxing, so I don’t want you to mention school.”

“But-” You stop when she gives you a stern look, sighing and going back to your food. While you ate, the two of you talked about the meet-up your friends are having. There was a party at the end of the semester where they smoked weed and watched comedy movies until they passed out. It would be next weekend and everyone was required to bring their own snacks so there wouldn’t be any complaining. You didn’t know if you’d make it to the end of the week with how stressed you were.

“Okay, angel.” Abby hums, pulling you onto her lap, “Tell me what’s wrong.”

“There’s just… too much work to do.” You tear up, Abby rubbing your back, “I’m stressed out about finals and my biology one is half of my grade. If I fail it, then I could end up failing the class! I can’t fail the class!”

“Ssshhh, angel. You’re not going to fail the class.” She comforts you but lets you cry. She knew that it was better to let you cry it out, so it would help you calm down. The feeling of her rubbing your back was soothing and you closed your eyes to enjoy it.

“I like when you do this.” You sigh happily. If there was one thing you love about your girlfriend is that she knew how to get you to relax. When you got stressed it tended to overwhelm you and could lead to anxiety attacks if you weren’t careful. Ever since you met Abby, she had a way of calming you down by just being with you.

“Yeah? You like my massages, too. Would you like one, angel?” You’re jumping up from her lap before she finishes her sentence. Abby laughs and you get into your pajamas while she cleans up the mess. With a little hop, you get into bed and lay down on your stomach. You watch as Abby changes into her pajamas and takes a seat next to you.

“Take a deep breath for me, baby.” Abby pets your head and you close your eyes, taking in a deep breath.

“Good girl.” Abby coos, making you blush, “I’m going to start at your neck, okay? I want you to count to a minute and then take a deep breath.”

“Okay.” You mumble as she starts to work her fingers into your neck. You loved her massages. You were shocked when she told you that she wanted to be a massage therapist at one point in her life. It was because she spent a decent amount of time volunteering at the hospital her dad worked and found physical therapy interesting. That was before she found out that she liked working with chemicals and chose to become a chemist instead.

You winced slightly when she started working on a tense spot in your shoulder, hearing her utter a soft apology. That was where you carried the most tension when you were stressed out so she was being extra attentive. You felt fuzzy as Abby praised you for being good for her and relaxing your body. All thoughts of your finals faded away and you focused on the feeling of her hands on your body. With every press of her fingers, you felt more and more sleepy but you kept counting and taking deep breaths as she told you to. You wanted to say something, but you were taking in all of the sweet words that Abby was saying to you. It went from praises to compliments and before you knew it, you were fighting to keep your eyes open.

“Baby…” The word comes out slightly slurred from how sleepy you are.

“Are you falling asleep on me, angel?” Abby chuckles lowly, kissing your shoulder.

“Nooo?” You try to deny it, but your statement comes out as a question.

“I think you are.” She hums. You feel her get off of the bed, followed by the sound of the lights being turned off. You feel the bed dip again, Abby sliding under the covers with you. You hum happily, snuggling up with her and she wraps her arms around you.

“How are you feeling?” She whispers, kissing your forehead. You were too sleepy to respond to her, choosing to snuggle closer instead before falling asleep in her arms. Completely forgetting that you had been so stressed out about your exam the next day.

Ways I (try to) Manage Stress:

1) Sleep. I am not even kidding, I took 2 naps in one day last week, and that made me SUPER happy. Or at least, happier. Because sleep is great.

2) Read a book (or fanfic) you’re really been wanting to read. It can be literally anything. But read it! <3 Enjoy it! <3 Have a tasty treat while you do so, or a cup of your favorite warm beverage (tea, hot cocoa, coffee, anything you like). Ideally, you can be all cozy under a soft blanket when you do this.

3) Listen to an episode of your favorite podcast, or one of your go-to-favorite audiobooks, or even just your favorite song(s), over and over and over. One of the best ultra-intervert times I had in early December was me, alone, in a room, with my headphones on, listening to “Vallalha Calling” from Miracle of Sound, on repeat, for about two hours. Non stop. IT. WAS. GREAT. I throughly enjoyed it.

4) Make, bake, or buy a favorite food or drink, and really savor it. <3 

5) Maybe, if you want to, try and create something just for you. It could be a story, a picture, or anything else you like. Just do it for your own fun, and enjoy the process. 

Psst, I will also be certain to not post any spoilers for the upcoming Owl House special (the second one). Thank you to my friend @imperfection-you-will-find​ for the heads up <3 <3 <3

Given the lack of parking and the number of people with hockey gear here, I do not think tonight is "skate around in the dark and make a fool of yourself ice disco" night as it was advertised to be.

Last night me and my brother from another mother took some time away from the stress of adult life and made Shrinky dinks...

He drew Tupac and The Joker, and I did the other 3...

I swear we had so much fun and spent the evening laughing and joking, which is a very rare thing for us 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

🌿 The Importance of Destressing: Nurturing Balance and Well-Being 🌼✨

In our fast-paced and demanding world, taking the time to destress is crucial for our overall health and well-being. Stress can have a significant impact on our physical, mental, and emotional state, leading to various health issues and a decreased quality of life. Here are some reasons why destressing is so important:

🌿 Promotes Relaxation: Engaging in destressing activities helps activate the body's relaxation response, which counteracts the effects of stress. By intentionally slowing down, practicing deep breathing, and engaging in calming activities, we create a space for relaxation and rejuvenation.

🌿 Enhances Mental Clarity: Chronic stress can cloud our minds and make it difficult to focus and think clearly. Destressing allows us to quiet the noise and clutter in our minds, improving our mental clarity and helping us make better decisions.

🌿 Boosts Physical Health: Stress can take a toll on our physical well-being, contributing to issues such as high blood pressure, weakened immune system, and digestive problems. By destressing, we support our physical health, allowing our bodies to function optimally and promoting overall vitality.

🌿 Improves Sleep Quality: Stress can interfere with our sleep patterns, making it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep throughout the night. Destressing before bedtime can help calm the mind and relax the body, leading to better sleep quality and allowing us to wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

🌿 Supports Emotional Well-Being: Chronic stress can contribute to feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, and even depression. Destressing provides an opportunity to nurture our emotional well-being by engaging in activities that bring us joy, practicing self-care, and cultivating a positive mindset.

🌿 Enhances Resilience: Destressing helps build resilience, which is our ability to bounce back from challenges and adversity. By taking the time to recharge and rejuvenate, we equip ourselves with the mental and emotional strength to navigate life's ups and downs more effectively.

🌿 Cultivates Balance: Destressing is essential for creating a sense of balance in our lives. It allows us to step away from the busyness and demands of daily life, giving us the opportunity to recharge and reconnect with ourselves. By nurturing balance, we can lead more fulfilling and harmonious lives.

🌼 Remember, destressing looks different for everyone. Find activities that help you relax and unwind, whether it's practicing mindfulness, spending time in nature, engaging in creative pursuits, or enjoying a hobby. Prioritize self-care and make destressing a regular part of your routine. Your well-being deserves it!

✨ Embrace the importance of destressing as a vital component of maintaining balance and well-being in your life. Take the time to destress, nurture your mind, body, and soul, and watch as you cultivate greater peace, vitality, and joy. 🌿🌼✨

Sometimes I feel like a gerbil running around and around on its wheel! It spins in circles like a carousel, not letting me see an end. How am I supposed to know where I am supposed to go if I can’t see the end? I realize they say that, “Happiness is a journey, not a destination,” but this is getting ridiculous.

How can they be so insensitive to the needs of us? How can they not realize that we have had enough with the spinning?

It just keeps going and going. I just want it to stop already. I want answers, resolutions, endings all wrapped up in a keepsake box with a little bow on top.

“Here you go, me! This is what you have been looking for. You can stop bitching now.”

But it’s not that simple, is it? Nope, we gerbils just got to keep on fucking spinning…
