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

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

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

Ah so do I, so I kinda sympathise with OP, it's really horrible when the smallest thing sets it off and you're not even sure why.

Xanax also puts you to sleep. And has terrible side of effects

30 - yeah but Xanax is commonly prescribed for anxiety disorders hence why it was brought up.

Well of course it cures anxiety getting put to sleep will cure about everything

Well, now that I know I'm not alone, I can comfortably say that I'd probably do the same thing due to my anxiety

Just one step at a time and remember to breathe, that usually helps me when I get anxiety.

am I the only one who doesn't see how that could cause op a panic attack?

panic/anxiety is a tricky business. people can have varying levels and different triggers for it. lack of control, fear of consequence, unpleasant realizations can all be triggers. in OPs situation I would guess fear of consequence. however there are a bunch of random triggers. I get anxiety being in cars and medical buildings.
