Today, I flew to Mexico with my (now ex) boyfriend of two years. It was my first time flying, and apparently I have a fear. I had a panic attack on the plane. When we landed, I got dumped for "causing a scene." I am now stranded in Mexico alone for two weeks with no hotel room booked. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend and I went on vacation. We flew 2000 miles, got off the plane, got our bags and stood outside the airport for our ride. She looks at me and says, "I can't do this anymore." So, she broke up with me and flew back home. Now I'm on vacation alone. FML
Today, I flew cross-country to see my girlfriend of three years. Once I got there, she broke up with me. I was supposed to be staying for a month and now I have nowhere to go. FML
Today, I left for vacation in Mexico. Upon landing, I received a text message from the guy I've been seeing. It read, "Sorry, I'm not boyfriend material. Have a good trip." I paid 75 cents to get dumped, internationally. FML
Today, after being terrified for years, I went on a plane for the first time. It was also the first time I "emergency landed." FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because I was "angry" at him. I was angry because last night he turned off his phone and left me locked out of the Airbnb that I had paid for. Until 3 am. In a foreign country. FML
Today, I left on my honeymoon with my wife who is terrified of flying. The pilot announced incoming storms in the flight path, and the man next to me starts saying it's "probably fate" and "we all have to go sometime." My wife went into a full panic attack. We hadn't even left the ground yet. FML
Today, I had to suffer through a four hour flight beside my ex. Yesterday, I proposed, on the last day of our vacation. She said no. FML
Today, I booked a flight to see my girlfriend. At least I thought she was coming, the flight isn't cancellable because I was broke and could only afford the minimum ticket. I just wanted to make her happy. Well, it's now four days before the flight and I haven't heard from her for a week. I've been left on 'delivered', thinking at 4 am. FML
Today, I got home from visiting my long-distance girlfriend. I spent $366 to get a plane ticket to visit her for the week. The day after I arrived there, she broke up with me and I had to buy a ticket for an earlier flight home. With fees and penalties, I paid around $550 to be broken up with. FML
Today, the small plane I was on almost crashed, all because the pilot's girlfriend figured out mid-flight that he's been cheating on her, causing her to start screaming abuse and furiously beating him. FML

Are you guys serious? If you've never had a panic attack you obviously don't realize that it is INVOLUNTARY. No one wants to freak out in public and embarrass themselves. It's possible to bring it under control once it starts, but you don't choose what scares you and what doesn't. Come on. You people are idiots. Really. It's not an emotion, either. It's an involuntary bodily reaction.

lol, this is not a panic attack. It is her first time flying, and she has a fear of it. It is a phobia. Panic attacks are different.

No. Even counting all the people on the planes, *and* in the towers, flying is *still* safer than driving, walking, or biking. Even if it *was* 'scary' -- why act out?

To Ozymandias: You are quite possibly the biggest jerk I have come across in a while. Everyone has their fears/phobias and their moments, we're all only human. You can't expect everyone to be the same high standard you clearly expect. And to say you'd bang her if she was cute, I wouldn't even joke about that. No decent girl would go there with such a self-centered, arrogant asshole like you.

No decent girl would be a drama queen and act out just to get attention on an airplane, either, so I think we are fine on those grounds. I don't expect everyone to held up to a high standard. Children get away with crap all the time. I simply expect adults to act like adults. Think about the boyfriend, or even worse, the strangers on the plane, who had to deal with a child in an adult's body for the flight! They paid good money, too. The OP had no right to make the experience of flying even less comfortable for them. All I ask is that people act like, well, people, and not monkeys.

I feel so bad for you. That really sucks! I have a friend who got panic attacks and all you people bitchin at her should shove off because you know that really isnt a choice. It's uber embarrassing because everyone sees it. It's also hard to calm down. Fear of flight is also a certified phobia. So just quit makin stupid comments
