Today, I forgot my inhaler. I had an asthma attack and had to go to the ER. The doctors told me it wasn't an asthma attack. It was just a panic attack from worrying about whether I would get an asthma attack. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, because I thought I was about to have an asthma attack, I had a panic attack. Then, the panic attack caused me to have a real asthma attack. FML
Today, I had an asthma attack. I grabbed my inhaler and found peanut butter on it. I'm extremely allergic to peanuts. FML
Today, I had an asthma attack while walking home with my friends. As I was struggling to breathe, they thought I was attention-seeking and left me on the floor. FML
Today, due to the heat, I had a deadly asthma attack. Where was my inhaler? My dad pawned it for beer money. What did my dad do about my attack? Told me to quit being a Drama Queen. I had to go across the street and beg for a ride to the ER from my neighbor. FML
Today, I had a panic attack while giving a presentation on how to breathe to avoid having panic attacks. FML
Today, I had a anxiety attack about taking my anxiety medicine. FML
Today, I had an anxiety attack because I thought I'd lost my anxiety medication. It ended up being on the shelf right where I left it. FML
Today, while trying to explain to my friends what an anxiety attack is like, I had an anxiety attack. FML
Today, after running across London to catch my train, I collapsed, panting, into a seat across from a concerned elderly woman. She leaned over to ask whether I had my inhaler and I smiled and nodded. I didn't have the heart to tell her that I'm not asthmatic, just really unfit. FML
Today, I woke up to find my car broken into. They also took the inhaler that fell out of my bag the night before. The one I needed to stop the asthma attack I had from the stress of having my car broken into. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That sucks. And to the people saying "lame", "YDI", etc. Asthma is serious business. People die without their inhalers. That's like worrying about not having a parachute while skydiving. the OP had every right to freak out for forgetting their inhaler.

Aw, that's one of those things that isn't funny at the time but you'll laugh about it later. I don't have asthma but panic attacks are never fun :( And to all the people who leave comments saying YDI or that you should just get over it - unless you have asthma or know someone who has and suffers from attacks I don't think you have the right to judge whether this is a true FML. Also - have you never left something important behind before? Hope you feel better now though x

#50 actually im the starting center middie but i dont expect you to believe me because we are on the internet and i have no way to prove it to you. either way thats not important to the FML. to make it easy, pretend that i said "just a few days ago i started having an attack"

i used to have asthma. then i got sick of having asthma, and i started running and not letting it bother me. asthma is not 'serious business.' it's a joke and a scam. trust me, their are plenty of alternatives to having to carry around expensive inhalers everytime you think you're out of breath. close your eyes, breath deep, feel how your lungs feel. focus and calm yourself, and stop being such an over weight out of breath loser.

Hey Newman guess what, your a total ******* asshole! I don't know if you know this but people die from asthma attacks so saying "get over it" is like telling a kid with cancer to stop bitching because he's dieing. Get over yourself you little ******* pussy bitch.
