Today, I had an anxiety attack because I thought I'd lost my anxiety medication. It ended up being on the shelf right where I left it. FML

Today, I saw my friend across campus, and I decided that I wanted to play a trick on her and scare her from behind. Turns out, I scared a complete stranger with really bad panic induced asthma. FML

Affectionate, huh?
Today, my little sister chased me around the house with a mallet, giggling like a maniac. I ended up having to pin her to the ground, rip the mallet out of her hand and lock her in the bathroom. This isn't the first time. My mom still insists it's perfectly normal. FML

Today, my paranoia got so bad that I had to physically restrain myself from aggressively confronting the kid walking behind me on the sidewalk. FML

It is though
Today, I went to the shops with my little sister. We had to walk through the lingerie section of the store to get to another part. My sister then yelled at the top of her voice, "Stop following me, you freak." I had security escort me out of the store, and got many dirty looks. She thought it was hilarious. FML

Today, because I thought I was about to have an asthma attack, I had a panic attack. Then, the panic attack caused me to have a real asthma attack. FML

Thats some serious backfire from something that hasn't even fired yet.

I hold that episode close to my heart, but fail to see how it's relevant.

It is terrifying... That's why I never try to sneak on people :(

I sincerely hope that is not the only reason you don't sneak up on people.

Sounds like OP experienced a little karma.

That's a waste of a comment, there's a button right there on the FML to do exactly what you just said. SMH

Serves you right for trying to give your sister anxiety.

OP is the one who almost had the anxiety attack, the sister got the silly string attack.

You must be fun at parties.

Yes; she never actually got any facts wrong either.
badluckalex 23
actually she did. reread the fml...
BobbieH 19
No she didn't get anything wrong. She stated that OP deserved it because he was going to pull a prank that could've caused the sister anxiety. She didn't state the sister had an anxiety attack. Reading comprehension is fun!

Can't see how being silly string attacked would cause anxiety.

#42 can you see being a silly string attacker causing anxiety? People are messed up in so many ways.

Have you people graduated elementary school? OP almost had an anxiety attack trying to scare her sister. The sister didn't almost have an anxiety attack, OP did. Please read the FML before commenting.

I swear you people need to think a little more thoroughly. If someone snuck up on you and sprayed silly string on you, there would be a definite chance to get anxiety. That's how I would react. So the op deserved it because she was doing something that could potentially give her sister the same problem she got. Jeez. I read it perfectly clearly the first time.

I don't like your comment. anxiety is a ****** up disorder. I'm on medication for anxiety and it still creeps up out of nowhere. I can literally sit on my couch doing nothing and get real bad anxiety for no reason. the meds do work, but sometimes it just can't be contained.

Then maybe, just maybe, you shouldn't do that anymore.
