Today, I got so stressed about my upcoming final exams that, in the silent section of the library, I had a panic attack and almost passed out. No one helped me. 3 people shushed me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had an extreme panic attack in the middle of class. I interrupted another person's presentation, burst into tears, and ran out of class whilst everyone looked at me. FML
Today, I went to the library to study an upcoming exam. I sat in a quiet corner and was feeling focused. Suddenly, I sneezed so loudly that the entire library went silent. I could feel the stares of every student on me as I tried to pretend I didn’t just disrupt the entire study session. FML
Today, I had a big exam. Twenty minutes in I could feel people turning round looking at me. I ignored them at first, but towards the one hour mark it got more distracting. I stood up and yelled, "Why's everyone staring at me!" I got kicked out. Turns out I was seated directly in front of the clock. FML
Today, I had a panic attack while giving a presentation on how to breathe to avoid having panic attacks. FML
Today, I stayed up all night to study for my anatomy final at 9 a.m. I studied outside the testing room in the hall all night. Apparently, I fell asleep with my headphones on, as my friend woke me up after walking out of the test, asking how I did. 300 classmates walked by and no one woke me up. FML
Today, I got the hiccups during an exam. I wasn't allowed to leave to get a drink of water, so I had to sit there and take my test while hiccuping violently. The teacher ended up sending me to the hall and ripping up my test for "distracting the other students". FML
Today, while studying for a big test at the library, some idiots started playing hide-and-seek. After putting up with their snorting and giggling for nearly an hour, I finally lost my shit and told them to knock it off. I then got kicked out for causing a disturbance. FML
Today, I was taking an important exam for Calculus. Out of nowhere, the kid behind me starts violently kicking my desk. I quickly turn around and yell at him. He was having a seizure. 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
Today, I was talking about phobias and anxiety disorders in psychology class. I nearly had a panic attack because I was worried that someone might realize I suffer from them. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Panic attacks do tend to sound like people playing with themselves. So, three people telling you to shush is getting off easy.

Kind of messed up to tell you the truth. However, maybe they didn't know you were having an attack because sometimes it just looks like the person is obviously fooling around or playing with one's self. Luckily If you ever have one again in the public, let's see if there is a doctor who knows of your symptoms. :)

Smoke some weed and stop being such a pussy.

Smoking weed would be a terrible idea, since it can trigger panic attacks in some people.

But somehow not everyone has panic attacks. I know it may be tough but it's time to grow up. There are going to be a lot of stressful situations in you further life and you have to learn to deal with them. I have my final exams of school in a few days and my life is going to depend a lot on them but I'm not panicking because I've been studying for the last 12 years. Seriously, I'm getting so tired of all those whining FML's about panic attacks. I've never met even one person with this "problem" in my life and I doubt that any of my acquaintances has. But that's probably because that I'm not from USA... Though I'm surprised that OP isn't American :/ ...

Seriously, what do you expect them to do? Even if there was someone who could recognize it as a panic attack and fully understood what was going on, all they could do was tell you to breathe and try to calm down, and for all they know a stranger talking to you could make it worse since many people get more freaked out about people noticing.

You expected them to care about your panic attack which you could have easily controlled and prevented? If you didn't get sleep or learn how to calm yourself, than well it is your fault.
