Today, I came home from the hospital diagnosed with high blood pressure. It's caused by stress. My wife had a very long talk with my son about it. All the kid has been doing for the past 2 hours is scream at his Playstation. I'd rather be at the hospital. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, we had to take my mother to the emergency room because of high blood pressure. As soon as we got back home, she started scrolling through Facebook and getting angry at everything. FML
Today, I went to see a doctor due to some gastric distress I have. I came out with directions to buy a blood pressure monitor, I'm prohibited from doing sports, and have a possible diagnosis of arterial hypertension which I am way too young to have. FML
Today, my dad’s in hospice, my son was diagnosed with a second rare disease, my wife is unemployed with alcohol and depression issues, to the extent of having ruined our marriage by driving us into bankruptcy. I have high blood pressure and quite honestly, I’m surprised I haven’t had a stroke or a heart attack with all this. FML
Today, I went to see a doctor because I have been feeling of pressure in my chest. After running numerous tests, I was told I was perfectly healthy and had nothing to worry about. I made it as far as the front door before I collapsed and had to be rushed to the hospital. FML
Today, I begged my husband to take me to the ER cause my stomach hurt so bad I thought I was gonna die. He told me to go sit on the toilet and stop being a drama queen. I drove myself to the hospital just in time for my appendix to burst. I almost died because my husband was busy playing Xbox. FML
Today, while waiting for a doctors appointment, my husband started playing angry birds. Continually losing the game ended up raising his blood pressure to the point where he now has to have his medication changed. The new medication is $100 copay. FML
Today, I was at work and got chest pains and a headache so bad, I vomited. My supervisor took my blood pressure twice and it was dangerously high both times. I went to the hospital, and after 3 hours of waiting, I got the most expensive lecture ever on drinking too many energy drinks. FML
Today, my shrink diagnosed me as severely depressive, due to a lot of stress and yells at home. After the session, my parents argued about whose fault it was and then went on to yell at me for being depressive and wasting their money. FML
Today, I had a heart attack. At the hospital, the doctor compared my heart to a stressed out 60 year-old's heart. I'm 17 and I don't even have a job yet. FML
Today, I had a panic attack because my wife yelped at me. What did I say that made her yell? I told her that I had just been diagnosed with a panic disorder that's triggered by people yelling at me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Solution: take Playstation away from him for a few days.

To reduce your stress you should throw the playstation out the window and watch his reaction. Always good for a laugh.

Games should be used to relieve stress, not build it up. If you're going to get that worked up, you might as well not play.

You're the parent. I bet you bought that playstation. You have every right to take it away and destroy it.

He is your child. You are the parent. Throw his friggin Playstation in the trash. Do you really need this explanation? What kind of adult/parent are you that you have surrendered control of your home, your child and your health to this terrorist?

Children are humans too. Why not reason with him? Understanding is the best motivation.

I think you just found the source of your stress.

Hey, I know this might sound like some crazy off the wall suggestion. Why don't you try turning the game system off? I know you're the adults and he is the child, you can make him go outside or perform an activity that does not bring forth the tyrant inside. Seems crazy I know.

I feel sorry for u OP. If anything potassium helps lower ur high blood pressure. Coconut water, orange juice, and pomagranate juice helps lower it :)

Take his playstation away. You're the parent, act like it. If he's being a little prick punish him.
