    A battery icon feels like an odd choice as a container of anxiety. A ball of squiggly lines or some lighting bolts that disappear gradually would make more sense to me but hey, it still conveys the message.

      I’m not even going to beat around the bush, it’s straight up the opposite of an appropriate choice.

      Made me absolutely confused reading the comic, to the extent I couldn’t understand what it was telling me until I forced my brain to override the meaning of that icon.

      You can only intuitively use a battery bar to represent a good thing where the full state is desirable (mood, energy etc) not a bad thing where the full state isn’t.
