Today, I was talking about phobias and anxiety disorders in psychology class. I nearly had a panic attack because I was worried that someone might realize I suffer from them. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, in health class we were watching a documentary about anxiety. My teacher asked if any of us often feel anxious. I was too anxious to raise my hand, and went into a minor panic attack. 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, I had a panic attack while giving a presentation on how to breathe to avoid having panic attacks. FML
Today, I found out that I'm failing this semester because I've missed too many classes. I've missed the classes because I've been having panic attacks, a symptom of my anxiety disorder. I got the anxiety disorder because I was so afraid of failing school. FML
Today, while trying to explain to my friends what an anxiety attack is like, I had an anxiety attack. FML
Today, I had an anxiety attack just from thinking about appearing on TV and being watched by a real audience. FML
Today, in my psychology class, the professor had us write down our name and birthday on one side of the paper and on the other side put down a mental disorder we would like to know more about. I was going to write 'Social anxiety disorder' but I was too worried about what people would think. FML
Today, I had to give presentation at work, for which I'd extensively prepared. However, as soon as I started speaking, I had a sudden panic attack and forgot everything I'd rehearsed. I stumbled through the presentation, feeling the embarrassment steadily grow in front of my colleagues. I almost passed out. 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, my social anxiety is so bad that the mere thought of talking to anyone, even someone who isn't even real, makes me feel ill and uneasy. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I have moronophobia: an intense fear of idiots.
rubberduckie94 13
I know, right doc, 90 percent of fmls seem to be morons that do not realize phobias and being social anxiety are worlds away from normal fear and nerves. Everyone now days wants to be babied. Not to say that some people don't truly suffer, but most seem to me to want attention.

I hope you aren't insinuating that because op has anxiety that they are a moron..

I think that this is the first time I have ever seen one of Doc's comments get thumbed down. This is a sign that the balance of the Universe has been shaken.

Ninjadinos - I wasn't saying that at all. I'm referring to idiots in general, many of whom you've met around here, I'm sure. That's right, idiots! Keep the thumbs down coming. Every thumbs down I get on that comment is more proof that you're out there lurking.

So if somebody thumbs you down, they're automatically and without any other reasons an idiot? LOGIC NEED NOT APPLY HERE. I'm a potato. c:

YES DOC! I have this phobia. It's pretty intense while I am at school.

Is there an idiocy scale? If there is, what is the cutoff point? Would it depend on the scenario? I know if I was in the Amazon, the natives would think I was an idiot with my level of survival skills.

Presumably, your boggart would turn into a dementor.
Shelta957 13
How? The dementor is some sort of werid creature thing, not the fear of fear... Oh nevermind

Nothing to be anxious about. Phobias and anxiety disorders are quite common now. Sometimes it's even easier to present information when you can relate it to yourself.
