Today, when I picked up my repeat subscription of anti-anxiety medication, they had changed the packaging to be more 'child safe'. Now it's so hard to get the pills out that I had an anxiety attack trying to take one. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I had a anxiety attack about taking my anxiety medicine. FML
Today, my mom took away my medication. She's afraid I'll get "hooked". The medication is anti-anxiety pills. I have horrible anxiety attacks that sometimes cause me to scratch my arms until they bleed. 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, after a week of being tired and depressed, I realized my bottles for anti-depressants and muscle relaxants had gotten switched around. FML
Today, just like everyday, I opened my med box, took out a blister pack and took one of the pills before putting the pack back in the box. Today, not like everyday, I had diarrhea. Turns out one of the packs was laxatives put in my med box by my boyfriend because they looked the same as my meds. FML
Today, I was prescribed medicine for anxiety. Without it, my stomach churns all day. With it, I shake uncontrollably and my eyes twitch. Now I have to choose between diarrhea and rude stares from people in public. FML
Today, my doctor lectured me for 20 minutes about 'drug seeking behaviour' when I asked for more anti-anxiety medication. I need it because my shithead 15 year-old son found my pills and took them to get wasted. I need the meds in the first place because he's constantly pulling shit like this. FML
Today, like every day since my wife was prescribed antibiotics for an infection, I had to hide one of the pills inside her food, because she'd apparently rather fall seriously ill than swallow them like an adult. FML
Today, someone at work took my delicate medication out of the fridge to make room for their lunch. Now my medication has expired. FML
Today, my doctor finally prescribed me some medication for my arthritis. The cap was insanely well-secured, and my hands were too racked with pain to get it off. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I think all negative commenters need to read up on anxiety disorders before they come to a conclusion of 'stop being a pussy'. Trust me, I'd love to not take meds and be normal for once in my life. But, my brain isn't like everyone else's. Gladly I haven't had a panic attack in over a year because of my medication. It's nothing to joke around with. Some people can lose motor functions because of panic attacks. I literally went blind from a panic attack once. If those who make fun of people with a mental illness had to live in their bodies, they would feel like utter shit. Just had to get that off my chest because I've suffered for years trying to find a way to control my disorder.

18 - Anxiety is no laughing matter. I know a few people who have anxiety attacks and/or panic disorder. Something so small can trigger an attack; it doesn't mean they're a pussy.

It sounds to me you were just very frustrated at not being able to open the bottle. Not having an anxiety attack. When and if you ever get it open, leave the cap off.

you base your diagnosis on what? do you suffer from anxiety/depression? I'm guessing no. I suffer from anxiety/depression. I rarely end up with full-blown attacks but when they happen, there's no mistaking what has occurred. I'm sure the OP is significantly experienced to recognize the symptoms. what you wrote only displays a moment of ignorance and condecession on your part. I'm sure you're better than that. you could respond by acknowledging the irony with a simple 'LMAO' or funny joke. even the OP has realised the humour of the moment. you don't have to be mean.

How would you know if they didn't have an anxiety attack? Were you there?

Shut the **** up Auto. I'm sick and tired of your ignorant bantering. Either do your research and come back, or go get a life.

I hate how they put the child safe on things like that. Parents with medicine that their child shouldn't be taking should be keeping it somewhere their children cant reach it. I guess it's just extra precaution so the children don't get into it by mistake, but honestly it's a pain.

LOL. love the irony! thanks for sharing OP! I suffer from anxiety/depression. it's healthy that after the moment has passed you recognize the humour of the situation and share with everyone! makes me feel better about some of my whacko moments. have a better day!

if that gives you an anxiety Attack then just grow some balls and deal with it. There are hundreds of millions of people with REAL problems and deal with it, but you have to be looking for compassion from people because you can't get a lid off a bottle? Get a life

They had the problem beforehand, hence the need for the medication in the first place. Duh.

I hate you both. Therefore, you are both wrong.

56- grow up. You obviously do not understand the FML. And mental disorders ARE real problems- have you ever tried to live a normal life with one?? We are actually victims of our own mind, and then ignorant people like you have to come and tear us down when we already feel less than equal. So thanks for that.
