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

Do you know what an asthma attack is like? That plus the knowledge that it's all in your head and you should be able to stop it why won't it stop this is my body it's supposed to listen to my orders and calm down nothin is wrong but if nothing is wrong why can't I breathe why isn't it stopping I told it to stop is that my heart it sounds like drums and should it be going that fast am I having a heart attack am I going to die why won't it stop if there's nothing wrong why am I dizzy there's nothing wrong breathe don't look at everyone staring at you just stop it and calm down nothing is wrong I told you I'm fine leave me alone see you should be able to control your own damn body breathe damnit you're going to pass out if you don't what the hell is wrong with you, can't you get your stupid body under control? You're not dying there's nothing wrong but if that's the case why won't it stop oh god am I dying why isn't it stopping nothing's working right I don't know I don't want to I can't I can't I no no no no no. More or less like that. Can't get any more accurate without risking setting off my own panic attacks, but I think that should cover the basics.

I feel you. I've got combat PTSD, and explaining my panic attacks will often put me in one.

I completely understand. Just thinking about my panic attacks make me anxious!

Good thing you're not asthmatic, that would've been a breathtaking combination.

Story of my life! I am now having anxiety from thinking about when I get anxiety while trying to talk about it!
