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 lol'd. But seriously, if you're going to turn it into a violent rage, don't kill yourself - kill your mother. It might even make you feel better.

Your mom was probably just used to you having those panic attacks and didn't want to deal with it, but that's no excuse for being so incredibly rude and heartless. I guess she just doesn't fully understand. My boyfriend has had like 3 or 4 panic/anxiety attacks over things I think are a little ridiculous, but I know that they're serious for him (a lot of small things that go wrong stress him out to the point of breaking down) because there have been times when he can't breathe. I'm still not completely sure how to handle them, but I know that what your mom did is something I'd never do. Sorry it had to happen to you. =[

I've had an anxiety/panic disorder for about half of my life, I haven't until just recently figured out how to deal. Meds definitely do not work for everyone. I'm sure you'll get through it. Just remember that (although it may feel like it at the time) you're not going to die. But since you've said "one of the worst ones in years" I'm sure you're still trying to figure out what is the best way for you to get better. I'm sure mom does care. Maybe she's just as tired of you having panic attacks as you are. #8- Wow, thanks for that.

I feel for you. I was had an adverse reaction to some new meds. I thought the fireplace was trying to eat me. My mom thought I just wanted attention and told me she didn't have time for bull shit. as for the little teeny-boppers telling her to get over it, are you doctors? Didn't think so.

You probably deserved it. I'm sure your mom got tired of you complaining about everything all the time. I know I would.
