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

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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

I had a phobia of Santa Claws until someone told me he wasn't real... Sometimes I still fear that he will kill me, whether he is real or not.

Funny, I'm studying the same material in my psych class right now. Anyways, don't feel so bad. Sounds like an environment where people will understand your anxiety disorder and accept it. After all, they are learning about this stuff. So, don't sweat it. You never chose to have this disorder and if people don't accept you because of it, then **** them. Also, I hope you're receiving treatment. Good luck OP.
