Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I told my boyfriend that I love him. He replied by telling me to fuck off. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend I loved him. He responded by fist pumping. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend that I loved him. Being dumped wasn't the reaction I was expecting. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were out cliff jumping, when for the first time, he told me he loved me. I panicked and pushed him over the edge and into the water. He's now in hospital. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She promptly had a panic attack and screamed, "No!" FML
Today, my boyfriend of over a year finally told me he loved me. This revelation was quickly followed by "at least, I think this is how people feel when they say that." FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. I said yes. This caused him to panic, excuse himself, then take it back via text message a half hour later, claiming he'd been drunk. We live together. When he comes back home, it's going to be very awkward indeed. FML
Today, my boyfriend of six years proposed to me. Less than three hours later, he panicked and made me give the ring back. FML
Today, a guy I like tried to talk to me. I got so nervous that I had a panic attack and puked in front of him. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend that I loved him for the first time. The L-word is probably one of the only things I'm scared to say, so what did he do? He stared at me blankly before making a farting noise with his mouth and asking if he could go get Chicken Express for dinner. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I don't understand how that could give you a panic attack
khaya 9
Easily, fear.

i assume it's the first time he said it, but that's just me.
jizzwold 21
Maybe I just don't understand panic attacks in their entirety.
zombiegold 23
Well, did you say it back afterwards?

The fear and anxiety becomes so intense that you tend to feel like the world is collapsing on you or you're having a heart attack. It's really scary and upsetting. Obviously the fear of love and vulnerability has caused this. I hope it works out, OP

1- because she's a girl? Duh

I've only had one panic attack and I had mine for no reason whatsoever; I was just calmly watching TV when mine struck. It's not a barrel of laughs either; it made me feel very unwell for three months afterwards and I was constantly on edge. A lot of people think panic attacks are controllable, but they're not; they're a very horrible experience and I wouldn't wish them upon anyone.

Anything can cause a panic attack if your case is severe enough.

People need to stop saying they love each other. Seems like every time someone does, it ends up on FML.
Awsumuzzie 12
I love you, Shrooms, and I can't wait to see your fml, boo. :)

Everyone is saying its fear ...???? Ever thought someone could be overwhelmed by it? Could have been the opposite

According to freshmen health books panic attacks cause fear without warning and sometimes for no reason.
Sigil 11
Panic attacks are caused when your emotional state exceeds your ability to cope with that emotion.The initial emotion can be fear or a seemingly unrelated emotion that yet triggers fear, e.g., love, joy or excitement.

I used to have terrible commitment issues, (as well as moderate anxiety I cope with to this day), and even hearing my partner's best friend tell me that my partner loved me triggered a panic attack. I had to breathe into a bag. Not as uncommon as the world would think! Though definitely quite embarrasing..

Was he offended?
wheresmyfood 0
You'd say so by that reaction
Internut 6
The FML doesn't say anything about her boyfriend's reaction. But I'd have to guess he might be upset and think he dropped the word too soon or she wasn't ready.
wheresmyfood 0
I meant by the GIRLFRIENDS reaction. Obviouslly you'd be offended if you gave your girl a panic attack from telling her you love her !

LOL ^ ye he was offended :(
MelTheGreat 23
That's completely normal. Did you say it back after?
silentbutfunny 0
Normal to panic when somebody loves you? I think not
MedKits 9
Obviously not. Did you miss the "instead of" part?
GoW_Chick 15
Panic attacks are not normal, and they suck, it feels like the whole world is crumbling around you, and you can't stop it from happening, or another way to explain it is you feel like a fish out of water.
DrMime 10
"And number four swoops in for the phail!" It said "instead of"! Geez.
PinkRainbow 3
I think Mel is saying that it is normal to be very excited/nervous when someone tells you they love you for the first time. The nerves got to OP and she freaked out. Unfortunately, instead of just getting sweaty palms and shaky hands OP had a panic attack.

I agree (: it's normal! Just explain to him and he will understand.

Love is suffocating, especially when your lover strangles people for fun.

Sorry didn't even realize, I'm on my phone. Besides this site isn't about who copied who, if you really have the mind set and time to call people out on "copying" comments, then I truly feel sorry for you.
