Today, I lied when my therapist asked why I preferred Tuesday morning appointments. It's actually because World of Warcraft is down for regularly scheduled maintenance. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got bored and decided to try World Of Warcraft. FML
Today, I was happily playing Diablo IV when all of a sudden it was 4 p.m. and time to go to work. FML
Today, my fiancé nervously sat me down for a "serious chat". The chat wound up with him asking if we could postpone our wedding, because his World of Warcraft guild had a raid scheduled for the same day. FML
Today, my boyfriend forgot to pick our son up from daycare. His excuse? Fighting in a battle in World of Warcraft was far more important and he had to stay absolutely focused. Our son had to wait for two hours. FML
Today, I went into labor and got my husband drive me to the hospital. Instead of staying by my side, he rushed back home for a World of Warcraft raid. His excuse? His friends were counting on him and they'd be pissed if he let them down. FML
Today, I realized that I'll have to explain to my child that mommy and daddy met on World of Warcraft. FML
Today, my sick semi-delusional boyfriend, whom I've been taking care of for days, accused me of trying to poison him so that I could play World of Warcraft. FML
Today, it became apparent that my boyfriend only showers when he levels up on World of Warcraft. FML
Today, I had to explain to my son that his dad was too busy in a raid on World of Warcraft to be at his award ceremony. FML
Today, I was finally allowed some time to get my game on. When I attempted to log in, I was given an error message. The game servers were down. Estimated time back up was, "sometime later this week". I was unable to get my game on, and had to do chores instead. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Why lie to your therapist? They can't help you if you don't tell them the truth. Also, if you want to play that game, then fair play, but when you can't tear yourself away in such a way (especially for something like this), then you might want to play a little less.

Did you also lie to your therapist when you told him about your exploits in Vietnam?

Yikes! It's people like you keep their schedules full. If you pattern your life around a computer game, than I'm glad you are getting help. Good luck!

I wonder what level of catastrophe would occur if someone flip off the servers switch for..a week? I bet suicide would sky rocket.

Nerd duels in times square? Someone finally curing cancer? The possibilities are endless with that many gamers on the loose.

your obsession with w.o.w. is probably a good reason for you needing a therapist

I play WOW and I have also planned things during regular maintenance like mowing the lawn Tuesday morning so I can spend the afternoon playing because my time is limited and I only play 2-3 times a week. It's not that big a deal. People adjust things all the time to make room for the things they like. You like WOW - so what? I'm guessing you play every day, all day... that is the problem. You need to play less.... and obviously you already know it.. so play less. Lying to your therapist is a bigger problem. This person is being paid to help you fix your problems. Lying to her will just make it impossible and you will never get better. Reschedule your appointments for a different day and read a book on Tuesday mornings and STOP LYING to your therapist.

What made you assume the therapist was a "she"?

33 The fml states that the op is a female. I don't know about the website but on the fml app the gender of the op is stated on the top right corner.

33 is talking about the sex of the therapist not the OP
