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?

Talk to someone. If you sit there and let your thoughts control you, then nothing is going to get better. and I seriously hate how people say it's "emo", depression hits anyone.

At least the reasons you've been having these seizures from are not completely made up by your imagination. That should cheer you up... :)

People, "emo" is such a stupid word, so stop using it whenever you see someone who is not as happy as you. Emo is a fashion style, not a state of being. I know how that is, I've been there. Mothers can be dumb, just focus on the good. Anything good at all, like the fact the sun is out. Or the stars. Count the good in life rather than bad. It makes the day a little brighter, and forget about your mom, perhaps she just doesn't understand what you're going through. Mine certainly didn't. I still don't think she knows.

#8- your "messed up life" isn't necessarily what gives you panic attacks. my sister has a panic attack anytime she needs to take a subway or the metro. not trains, buses, or cars, or anything, just underground. we found this out the hard way when she would start hyperventilating and eventually wet herself every time we even looked at the subway entrances. kind of ruined that family vacation... #26, 27- anxiety is a serious disorder. the meds don't always work, but sometimes they do. it's not a form to get attention, it's because the person seriously cannot deal in whichever situation and then shuts down. some people are just more sensitive to the attacks, so you might have had one and never known. they can be minor panic thoughts-- oh no, i left the stove on, what if my house burns down-- or they can be huge-- i need to make a life-changing decision and don't know how to handle it. It all just depends on the person.
