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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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

#60 asthma, like a lot of things, isnt the same for everyone. some people have it to the point of life threatening, but some have it just so that they get out of breath easier.

I have a nut allergy, and when I forget my epipen, I can't eat pastries or desserts, and I can't sit around nuts, because I will have a panic attack that will cause my body to act like I am going into the first stages of anaphylaxis despite the fact I lack sensitivity. I can even eat products produced besides nuts without risk. In other words, I know what this feels like.

wow, #60. that's probably the worst asthma 'advice' i've ever seen someone give. it's serious for a lot of people. people who have asthma aren't necessarily overweight, which is one word, by the way. not two. anyway, now that i got out what i needed to say, i'm sorrrry :| that's really all i can say. panic attacks are scary as anything.

Asthma is made up by fat kids so they can get out of gym. When I see an asthma stricken blob running through my field, I make sure to target them in my ambush.

My asthma prevents me from running for more than 1 minute. I can't run past that, but I don't have an inhaler. It sucks

LOL That totally happened to me cept I started to puke as well... #60 that's a lie. Asthma isn't a lie or scam. If you keep running you build up your lungs so it helps make them stronger. This can help lose your asthma but only for some people.

the big thing that shows that its not a scam is that like #67 i can only run for about a minute without a inhaler but if i do one before the run, then i am fine. i run cross country and i always place in the upper half of the runners, but i make sure i keep my inhaler on me during the race
