Moderate: Incest, Racism, Grief, Vomit, Violence, Physical abuse, Racial slurs, Medical content, Emotional abuse, Misogyny, Suicide attempt, Bullying, Gaslighting, Gore, Panic attacks/disorders, Self harm, and Gun violence
Genuinely just so much alcoholism and cocaine consumption, as well as substance abuse with any number of unprescribed prescription medications mixed with both of the above.
