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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

Just be happy with what you have, because it could always be worse. During the summer i had a horrible panic attack while i was staying in japan. It was an exchange student program so i didn't have any family with me. The other students in the program were staying with different families so i was surrounded by a bunch of people who i didn't know, and who could barely speak english. In the middle of the trip, i had a nasty panic attack. I couldn't place it, but something seemed off. The light was wrong, the smell was wrong, everything seemed wrong. i started to hyperventilate, and then everyone else started to panic. My japanese teacher was there, and she had the bright idea of taking me to the emergency room. Everyone was worried that i was having an asthma attack, so i can't blame for caring, but being in a hospital didn't help. After a few hours i had calmed down. And an hour after that i had some dinner with the other students in the program and that actually did help. Shit does happen but eventually you can get over it, and life does get better.

So wait #62, people aren't allowed to have panic attacks? I understand the "people are worse than you" aspect, but you make it sound like the only time anyone is ever allowed to feel sad is if they're about to die of starvation. If the kid feels upset about how her life is going, let her. Who are you, or any of us, to judge about that? If you're really annoyed about how she feels, ignore her. Parents are supposed to comfort their kids when they're sad, not shut the door on them. Your "Tough love" doesn't apply here. She's upset about her (I'm assuming it's a her) loneliness, not trying to borrow her moms car.

# 62 - Don't be a dick. You are obviously devoid of any human emotion. I understand exactly what you mean. Sometimes I feel like no one cares about me too, but than I just think, there's at least ONE person I can count on, and if there's no one right now, eventually there will be. **** your mom, you'll be ok. Just hold in there :)
