Trauma doesn’t just haunt you when you’re awake, sometimes it follows you into your dreams.

In this comic, Luna wakes up mid-flashback from a night terror, spiraling into a panic attack. But with calm care, her partner checks in, helps ground her, and makes sure she gets what she needs. This one is heavy, but it’s real. Because trauma begets trauma, and gentleness is a powerful antidote.

When bullying becomes a background constant, our brains get really good at rehearsing how to survive. Sometimes that looks like self-deprecating humor. Sometimes it looks like a total mental rehearsal for every cruel thing they might say. And sometimes? It becomes a performance. Because if we can say the awful stuff before they do, maybe it won’t hurt as much.

This comic explores a painful but real part of PTSD: internalized abuse. The voices of past tormentors don’t always fade—they set up camp, get comfortable, and start running their own little hate-radio show in your head. Even long after we’ve physically escaped harm, many of us still feel like we’re standing at that bus stop, bracing for the next blow.

But you’re not alone. These wounds are valid, your story is real, and recovery is a messy, non-linear journey. We hope this comic brings a little laugh, a little validation, and maybe even a little release. It’s okay if you’re not “over it.” That doesn’t make you weak. It means you survived something real.

Have you ever used humor as armor? Or practiced what you’d say to your bullies, even years later? Let us know below.
