Today, my mom convinced me that she and my dad were getting divorced. I have anxiety problems, so I had a panic attack. She then laughed, and said, "Just kidding, I wanted to see your reaction. It's the best so far." FML

Today, I took my girlfriend to meet my parents. My dad thought it'd be hilarious to act surprised and ask me if I'd already dumped the girlfriend I introduced him to yesterday. She slapped me and stormed out of the house before my dad could tell her it was a joke. FML

Today, I was diagnosed with a chronic pain condition. My parents seemed very sympathetic and my mother even cried. When we got home, though, they started laughing and asked if I really believed all the shit the doctor was talking about. FML

Today, a girl was telling me how she was very stressed over her parents' divorce and moving away to another part of the state. While I was listening, I started choking on my saliva. She thought I was laughing. She hasn't spoken to me since. FML

Today, while having lunch with my grandparents, my grandpa's eyes glazed over, his head fell and he slumped in his chair. I started panicking and almost cried, thinking he was dead. Then he laughed and said "Just kidding. I'm fine." FML

Today, I tried to tell my dad that I was really struggling with my mental health and didn't think I could stay alive much longer. He laughed. This comes after telling my "best friend" last week and having to wait three days for a reply. FML

Today, I found my mother in tears, so I asked her what was wrong. She told me, "It's your father, he wants a divorce..." I asked if he'd met another woman, and my mom replied "No, not a woman..." FML

Today, as an April fools day joke, I decided to tell my mom and dad that I was gay. After an awkward silence, my mom looks at me, smiles, and says, "well, we have known for a while." She wasn't joking. FML

Today, I had one of the worst panic attacks in years. I was worried nobody cared about me and that I had completely messed up my life. I was hyperventilating and crying hysterically. My mom walked by my room, looked at me, and said, "If you're going to make those noises, at least shut the door." FML

You should have told her "Good that you are joking mum. I wouldn't have the heart to tell you I would choose to stay with dad!"

What a witch! Your mother should know that anxiety is no joke. Anxiety problems are definitely tough. You should consider seeking help from a therapist, OP. I know it sounds awkward, but talking it out can help. Cognitive behavioral therapy has helped me so much. If you don't do anything about it, it could get worse.

Maybe you need to do what is needed to control this problem so you can take jokes. Laughing at the world is a great thing..

#65 Some things are appropriate to laugh at. I agree that OP needs help, but I find it inappropriate to laugh at the fact that someone has a disorder of any kind.

Wait a minute. Does your mom know about your anxiety problems? If she did then thats just wrong. If you told her you were having a baby, or had cancer, or had STD's and you were joking wouldn't she have an anxiety attack herself? Smh.
