Today, I was having a panic attack so I called my parents. My brother answered to say my parents couldn't come to the phone because they were watching 24. Its ten o'clock and 24 is not on now. They were watching 24 on TiVo and couldn't pause it to come to the phone. FML

Today, apparently my parents called 911 because I wasn't answering their phone calls, so they thought something was wrong. I was in the bathroom and didn't bring my phone, so I wouldn't distract myself and ended up sitting there forever. Looks like that wasn't the right choice. FML
Today, I was home alone and tried to make some popcorn so I could watch a movie. Thirty minutes later, my parents came home and found me talking to the firemen. FML
Today, I was in agonizing pain and couldn't move. My parents said they couldn't take me to the ER until the football game on TV was over. FML
Today, I was babysitting a 5 year old boy. When I was on the phone with my mom, he called 911 and started to cry. When I got off the phone the police were at the door. It turns out that the "emergency" was that the VCR was not working. FML
Today, I received a message from front desk that my concerned father is trying to contact me. I call only to hear that my parents were freaking out that I wasn't answering my phone. They saw me 9 hours ago. They were going to call the police. I'm in college and also don't live with them anymore. FML
Today, like every day, everyone blew up my phone at once and I began having a panic attack. Because I didn’t respond immediately, I was called rude and a bad person. Turning off my phone isn’t an option either, because my mom will come in my room and cuss me out for not responding to her texts. FML
Today, I was babysitting for my mom's coworkers two little boys. they went to bed around 9 and I was watching a movie on HBO. I fell asleep before the movie was over. I woke up to the parents walking into the house. I looked at the TV, and porn was on. FML
Today, my mom and dad went off somewhere for some alone time together. My mom had apparently turned her phone off and my dad left his at home. In that span of time, my brother had accidentally locked himself out of his house, and my sister was also trying to get a hold of them, and now are asking me where they're at. FML
Today, my mother panicked and was about to report me missing when I didn't answer her calls while I was at a movie. I'm 31, and have lived on my own for over 10 years. FML
Today, my parents left me several frantic voicemails early this morning about the hurricane, totally in a panic that I wasn’t safe. I called them when I woke up and told them I was fine. They were actually angry that I wasn't in the eye of the storm, because they “worried for nothing.” FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

56... I hope that you mean The Secret Life of the American Teenager is an amazing show in the sense that it's hilariously awful and corny. If so, then I agree - my best friend and I have an awesome drinking game devoted to it. If you actually just think it's great television... oh honey no.

You should have told your brother "DAMMIT! PUT THEM ON THE PHONE!"

#64: Once again, I don't think that its awful and corny. I'm freaking fourteen; have yet to go through all of that yet. So no it isn't corny to me. That is why I watch it.

Yeah, that is pretty shitty, but did you actually explain to your brother that you were having a panic attack??

it's not the fact that your parents were watching TiVo and was too busy to come to the phone that makes your life ******. it's the fact that they are watching 24 -.-"

…and with all this said, with parents like that no wonder you are having panic attacks.

52, obviously everyone you know who has panic attacks is nervous. That doesn't mean its their fault or that panic attacks aren't real. Yes, things could be worse. But you should be thankful that you're lucky enough to be as ignorant as you are and never have to go through something like a panic attack. 13, 15, 28, 42, 43, 46 and 53, go jump in front of a truck. Actually, 52 can go too.
