Today, I was trying to explain to my mom that I've been having panic attacks. I ended up having a panic attack from talking about having a panic attack. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was dumped. I ran home and cried and ranted on and on to my mother. After about 10 minutes of talking, she threw a book at my face and said, "No wonder he dumped you! You can't shut up!" FML
Today, while waiting for my mom to pick me up from university, I took out my phone and pretended to talk to someone. I didn't think people still pointed and laughed, but apparently they do when your mom pulls up and shouts, "Stop pretending to talk to someone." FML
Today, my mother told my boyfriend a cute story about me when I was little. The one where my cousin and I were caught pooping in a urinal in the church basement. FML
Today, I wanted to spend the day cleaning my room. My mom thinks that I was lying just to stay home, so she yelled at me to go to her shop. At the shop, she yelled at me for not being any help. When we got home she yelled at me for having a messy room. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me, all because he's scared of my mother. FML
Today, my mom decided to follow me during my driving test. She rear ended me. FML
Today, anticipating another stressful day of work, I left my house with a cluster of thoughts in my mind. It was only when I heard my front door lock behind me, my hand still resting on the handle, that I realised I had forgotten my house keys. FML
Today, thanks to my new anti-anxiety meds, I am finally no longer agoraphobic. Today also marks 5 weeks of constant diarrhea due to the same meds. Guess who's not leaving the house anytime soon. FML
Today, my dad asked me if I'd started smoking, I gave him a big speech about how I never have and never will. Two hours later, he found my stash of cigarettes under my bed. FML
Today, my mom had an appointment with my teacher after class. She never showed. My teacher ended up driving me home. FML

If I were you I would just write it in a letter, I understand how hard these things can be especially if you're under pressure trying to explain some thing like this.

I'd say get some counseling, but what specifically defines a panic attack? I read loads of FML's but I have never met/heard someone who had one (or didn't want to share it)

I have an anxiety disorder and get at least 1 a year. Your heart races to the point where you can barely breathe, you get dizzy, everything around you starts to turn black, your hearing dies away, and sometimes people faint from lack of oxygen. It can differ from person to person, though. But, I assume most people on FML who talk about them don't actually get one. Much like those who are are like, "I match my socks to my underwear, so I'm OCD!"

I have a variety of mental illnesses and it frustrates me to no end that some people think depression is just being sad for a few days, panic attacks are just common nerves or, as you say, ocd is just being neat.

Nothing punches up a boring presentation like a good visual aid! If you calmly discussed your panic attacks, she would have thought you are a hypochondriac.
