Today, I, a man in his 40s, had to be taken to the hospital because I was laughing so hard at an old Disney movie that my diaphragm went into spasms. I stopped breathing and passed out for a few minutes, and my son had to call an ambulance. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to Disney World. I fell and hit my head while jumping up and down to see Ariel. I'm a 35 year-old man. FML
Today, my friends and I saw a movie. We sat in the balcony. Halfway during the movie we heard a commotion, thinking it was a group of unruly teenagers like us, we began to pelt the lower half of the theater with candy. We later learned that it was a man having a heart attack. FML
Today, I went to the dentist for a routine cleaning. As the dentist was working on my teeth, he accidentally sprayed water all over my face. I couldn't stop laughing nervously, which made the dentist think I was choking. He ended up calling for backup and I had to explain that I was just laughing. FML
Today, while at a trampoline park, my time of the month and my out-of-shape body worked together to make me almost pass out. FML
Today, I made a nursing home resident laugh so hard that he had a heart attack. FML
Today, I was at an amusement park with my kids. When we were on the Ferris wheel, I discovered my fear of heights. I hyperventilated, screamed from our seat "LET ME OUT! OH GOD LET ME OUT!!" I also began crying hysterically. They stopped the ride for me to get off. I'm a 45 year old man. FML
Today, I tripped and fell, damaging my sternum and making it incredibly painful to breathe in or out too much. About ten minutes later, I got the hiccups. FML
Today, I was taking a walk when I noticed an elderly man on the ground, unmoving. Being a registered nurse, I tried to give him CPR. As my lips touched his, he hacked a loogie and spat it into the back of my throat. I swallowed. FML
Today, I laughed so hard at a joke that I snorted, which caused me to choke on my Coke, which then caused me to fall off my chair. The joke wasn’t even that funny. FML
Today, I laughed so hard my milk went out my nose in front of the boy I liked. Then, since I was laughing so hard about that, I accidentally farted. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's a little ironic that laughing sent you to the hospital, when they say that laughter is the best medicine

Was it Herbie, The Love Bug or Flubber? Those movies were funny Air Force! (I’m assuming that’s what “af” means.)

You literally almost died of laughter

To Disney's credit, Cinderella is ******* hilarious. Especially the part where the Ugly Sisters mutilate their feet to make the Glass Slipper fit. Huh? That wasn't in the movie? Oh... spoiler alert?

OP, I am no doctor but it is just possible that you might have a condition called PBA: “Pseudobulbar affect (PBA), or emotional incontinence, is a type of emotional disturbance characterized by uncontrollable episodes of crying and/or laughing, or other emotional displays. PBA occurs secondary to a neurologic disorder or brain injury.” If you have not already you should see a doctor or neurologist to see if this is something that might be affecting you. At the least, understanding the condition, if you have it will help. There is a medication now for PBA, but it is very expensive - But sometimes a doctor can help you with that if it is needed. I have a degree of PBA myself and it makes me express my feelings more strongly to emotions good or bad.

This is probably a rare instance where laughter is not the best medicine.
