Today, my anxiety got so bad that when I stole a sword in Skyrim and resisted arrest, I had a full-on panic attack as I ran away. I ended up curling up on the sofa as my character got hacked to death on the TV. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my social anxiety got so bad that I nearly had a panic attack when too many people joined my World of Warcraft party. 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, I had a panic attack when a huge spider ran over my hand. I screamed, wailed, and killed it with a shoe while shouting. Ten minutes later, police slammed on my door. My neighbor called them, saying it sounded like someone was being murdered. FML
Today, I wanted to play Among Us for a little distraction. I ended up having a panic attack. FML
Today, I was halfway through a pair of pants I'd started making when my PTSD kicked in and I had a panic attack, and thought someone was yelling at me, so my response was to throw a pair of sewing scissors at the non-existent person. They hit the wall and now I have to get the wall patched up. FML
Today, I realised how badly the pandemic aggravated my social anxiety when I was playing an online game and an ally kept on getting too close to me throughout the match. I actually had to quit the game and take my emergency meds so I wouldn't go into a full blown crisis. FML
Today, I realised exactly how bad my social anxiety has gotten when I had a panic attack watching someone ask someone else out on a fictional show. FML
Today, someone tried to mug me. I panicked and ran. As they chased me with their knife out, I heard a slip and a shout behind me but kept running. Six blocks later I was spotted, arrested, and held for questioning by the police. The mugger fell, stabbed themselves, and told a cop that I did it. FML
Today, I had an anxiety attack when I learned that my favorite book series is coming to the end. I had to leave the store and sit in my car. FML
Today, my roommate came home and instantly began raging, cursing, and threatening to kill me. While I was cowering in my bedroom, the police had to settle the situation. All I'd done was rearrange some furniture. FML

It's all fun and games until they spot you stealing their swords!

I got caught stealing once, resisted arrest and got a "warrant" so every time I went to towns everyone attacked me. I eventually got so frustrated I never played again.

I understand the struggle. I had an anxiety attack and cried while playing LoZ Twilight Princess because the creepy hand in the Twilight temple kept taking the ball from me.

Lookit you, not caring about another person's mental health and suffering! You're so edgy.

At least you didn't get arrested for stealing a ******* FLOWER.

That happens to me too! Lol I love the game though, haven't played in awhile I've been so busy lately, but I got to admit it's one of the best games I ever owned. Better than Elder scrolls online in my opinion (no offense to anyone who likes that game) but nothing beats skyrim!

Always quick save before you attempt a criminal action. Then if you fail, just reload and try again. If you succeed, save. Frankly, it's elder scrolls, you should be saving about as often as you blink. This comes from someone who probably has months of time poured into Morrowind and Skyrim put together.

One time in Skyrim I thought a wolf was attacking me but when I turned around it was a saber cat and I screamed and had a panic attack.

I know this feel, OP. I had a panic attack playing Phantom Hourglass when the wallmasters started chasing me. And I've played through it before. Ugh.
