Today, I forgot my inhaler. I had an asthma attack and had to go to the ER. The doctors told me it wasn't an asthma attack. It was just a panic attack from worrying about whether I would get an asthma attack. FML

Today, because I thought I was about to have an asthma attack, I had a panic attack. Then, the panic attack caused me to have a real asthma attack. FML
Today, I had an asthma attack. I grabbed my inhaler and found peanut butter on it. I'm extremely allergic to peanuts. FML
Today, I had an asthma attack while walking home with my friends. As I was struggling to breathe, they thought I was attention-seeking and left me on the floor. FML
Today, due to the heat, I had a deadly asthma attack. Where was my inhaler? My dad pawned it for beer money. What did my dad do about my attack? Told me to quit being a Drama Queen. I had to go across the street and beg for a ride to the ER from my neighbor. FML
Today, I had a panic attack while giving a presentation on how to breathe to avoid having panic attacks. FML
Today, I had a anxiety attack about taking my anxiety medicine. FML
Today, I had an anxiety attack because I thought I'd lost my anxiety medication. It ended up being on the shelf right where I left it. FML
Today, while trying to explain to my friends what an anxiety attack is like, I had an anxiety attack. FML
Today, after running across London to catch my train, I collapsed, panting, into a seat across from a concerned elderly woman. She leaned over to ask whether I had my inhaler and I smiled and nodded. I didn't have the heart to tell her that I'm not asthmatic, just really unfit. FML
Today, I woke up to find my car broken into. They also took the inhaler that fell out of my bag the night before. The one I needed to stop the asthma attack I had from the stress of having my car broken into. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That sucks. And to the people saying "lame", "YDI", etc. Asthma is serious business. People die without their inhalers. That's like worrying about not having a parachute while skydiving. the OP had every right to freak out for forgetting their inhaler.

Aw, that's one of those things that isn't funny at the time but you'll laugh about it later. I don't have asthma but panic attacks are never fun :( And to all the people who leave comments saying YDI or that you should just get over it - unless you have asthma or know someone who has and suffers from attacks I don't think you have the right to judge whether this is a true FML. Also - have you never left something important behind before? Hope you feel better now though x

maybe you don't really have Asthma or at least it's not as bad you thought.

Surely the moment you realize you don't have your inhaler with you, you go to the nurse or someone and let them know? And tell your friends/teachers that you don't have your inhaler with you, so if you start having an asthma attack they should take you to the nurse, who damn well should have loads of spare inhalers. It's not really a reason to have a panic attack. In fact, there are very few reasons to have a proper panic attack. It's decidedly counterproductive.

similar thing happens to me all the time, like if i'm running somewher and think to check if i have my inhaler and then find i don't, thats when i start getting an asthma attack when i would have otherwise been fine.

Wow I feel bad for you. Hope this helps you remember to bring your inhaler next time. #60- seriously, just stfu and crawl back under the rock you came from. that's the stupidest advice I've ever heard of.

Hey #60, most of the people I know who have asthma are not overweight! And hey by the way, Lindsay Lohan has asthma... and she's thin! (Bad example I know).

I've had "serious asthma" my entire life. Used to use that (spelling?) nebulizer machine three time's a day and take a pill and use an inhaler along with all that. Now I smoke a pack a day and it feels no different. You learn to just calm down when you feel constricted, and your lungs open up more....for that one last cig hahaha
