Today, I had one of the worst panic attacks in years. I was worried nobody cared about me and that I had completely messed up my life. I was hyperventilating and crying hysterically. My mom walked by my room, looked at me, and said, "If you're going to make those noises, at least shut the door." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after a year of staying at home, I finally went out. I had a panic attack and couldn't breathe, so my mum decided to scream at me and slap me so I'd become "normal". FML
Today, my mom walked in on me crying in my room and yelled at me for being a "weak little crybaby." I’d just found out my best friend died in a car accident. When I told my mom that, she said, "Does it look like I fucking care?" FML
Today, I began to choke on a large pill while my mom was in the room. Hoping that she would help me, I began to make a lot of noise. After she completely ignored me, I threw my body over a chair, saving my life. At this point my mother asks me to shut up because she can't hear her friend. 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
Today, I was in the bathroom at work. The lock on the stall door broke, and I couldn't open it. I was all alone and I started having a mini panic attack. After several minutes of frantically trying to fix the lock and hyperventilating, I realized I could just crawl under the door. FML
Today, I was sitting at my computer, listening and singing along to some music. I started singing louder, thinking that I was pretty good. Just then, my mom comes barging through the door in a frenzy saying, "Are you all right? Are you hurt?" FML
Today, I had an extreme panic attack in the middle of class. I interrupted another person's presentation, burst into tears, and ran out of class whilst everyone looked at me. FML
Today, my mother has filled me with such grief from covert narcissism that I realized I'm having panic attacks about her being able to hear me if I speak my mind, even when I'm alone. I'm in my thirties and married. FML
Today, I noticed my daughter’s bathroom was dusty, so I screamed at her for keeping the bathroom in unacceptable condition. She had a panic attack and has been crying for the past week. She’s 24. FML
Today, my mom sternly told me that she would no longer make doctor's appointments for me, since I need to do them myself. I've been staring at the phone for thirty minutes, crying from anxiety. I'm 27 and the most pathetic man alive. FML

Is your mother unaware of the fact that you have panic attacks?

I didn't read the whole thread here, so someone might have said this before me, but: I have panic attacks, and I know that /sometimes/ they can sound... suspiciously like something else. If someone heard me and didn't know wtf was going on, they might think I was masturbating or whatever (at least if I wasn't crying, just breathing and moaning right then). Maybe that's what she thought? Anyway, she definitely should have checked on you. And if you haven't already told her you have these things, then you should have a talk with her, especially if you're still living at home. Hang in there, though. I know it's effin hard.

seriously, people telling her that she wants "attention" or "whines about everything", shut the **** up! severe anxiety is a problem for some people they can't help and need others' support dealing with- you are all horrible ******* people, just keep that kind of comment to yourself, you don't need to yell at someone who's having a rough time- that's just exemplifies you as a terrible ******* human being. As far as the FML goes, i hope you feel better soon. and if you want to tell me how she can solve her problems by dealing with them, or whatever you're going to say that her anxiety doesn't matter because "you got through it somehow", her life could be twenty times worse than yours. so i really, really don't want to hear it and if you have to say it, all i have as a reply is shut the hell up moron...

Wow, you need to inform your mother about your panic attacks and maybe she'll understand. If not- you need to find some friends who do. good luck with your attacks, maybe talk to a physician? You need to work on relieving your stress in other ways: sports, writing, screaming, dancing, singing, skipping, swimming, reading, teething, SOMETHING
