Today, I went to a concert with my new boyfriend. I had a panic attack halfway through and an ambulance picked me up. My boyfriend met my parents for the first time drunk, in the emergency room. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to a concert for the first time in 5 years. I got all dressed up and even ended up hanging out with the band. The night came to a screeching halt when I got a migraine and ended up in the ER vomiting non-stop. I was in the hospital all night. FML
Today, my fiancé and I had to attend a wedding. Problem is, I suffer from a severe form of social anxiety. Since I was getting too close to a panic attack, he suggested drinking some wine to help me stay calm, and it worked. Up until I got drunk and threw up in the middle of the restaurant. FML
Today, I went to a huge rock concert. While waiting in a half a mile long line to get in, I passed out due to the heat. I regained consciousness to hear about a hundred people yelling and trying to help me. My boyfriend, who I went with, was not one of them. FML
Today, I tried to propose to my girlfriend, but I was so nervous that I had a panic attack, fainted and split my head open. My girlfriend then fainted at the sight of the blood. An onlooker had to call an ambulance for both of us. FML
Today, I went to the hospital emergency room to visit my boyfriend who had badly sliced his leg open. It ended with me being admitted with a possible head trauma, after hitting my head on the wall and floor as I collapsed at the sight of his wound. FML
Today, my dad finally met my girlfriend. Unfortunately, he was driving the ambulance that she was in, due to severe alcohol poisoning and was on the way to the hospital to have her stomach pumped. FML
Today, I found my boyfriend passed out on the floor. Then I passed out, due to anxiety of seeing him passed out. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend to a festival. The very first thing we saw when we got there was a guy being wheeled away by paramedics. She freaked out and demanded we leave. FML
Today, my first date consisted of him and me in the emergency room of the hospital after his little brother hit me in the face with a baseball bat. FML
Today, I met my fiancé's parents for the first time. The only problem was that I was highly intoxicated. FML

I'm thinking the same thing..what's with all the panic attacks? It's just a concert...I don't want to be mean, but I never understood. If something is too much for me, I don't go to begin with. If someone wants to explain HOW they just randomly get panicked, thanks lol...otherwise, ydi. You know your limits.

i am going to have to agree with you on this. i feel very bad for your panic attack, OP. However, most people who have panic attacks have some sort of idea what will bring them on. maybe you were trying to overcome your attacks and get back out in the world, good for you. you should have asked your bf to stay sober just in case. ydi. the fml could have been that your bf stayed at the concert while you were in the hospital.

I've got a panic disorder and because of that sometimes you just get panicked for no good reason. Most of the time there is a reason though, but it can be really silly - for instance, I've got agoraphobia with my panic disorder so spending not much time at all in a room that's large and open can trigger a pretty bad panic attack for me.

Right now I only do things that won't aggravate my anxiety. This means leaving the house once a month to see my therapist, and reading old texts on folklore all day. Not a normal life. Some people push their limits. Good for them. Wish I had the guts to do that.

I never got panic attacks until my second pregnancy, and I wouldn't even be the slightest bit worried about anything, ever since then they haven't completely gone away.. I wish I knew why , doctors never really gave me a reason..

could be a disorder, but I know that certain drugs (MDMA, weed, LSD) commonly found at various genres of concerts can cause serious panic attacks. considering that the boyfriend was drunk, I suspect OP may have been high (likely not on LSD though), and while sober when her parents arrived, could have been triggered by that into panic

Why was he drunk ? If you'd been drinking then that accounts for the panic attack. Don't be dumb !

Hey don't judge if she just learned for the first time that time it was panic. It's the great mimicker of more serious conditions, and you're so terrified you really truly believe you are dying. Been there, done that.

Some panic attacks can be severe... It messes with the heart a lot, it's better to be safe than sorry, and the most common reason for a long wait on an ambulance would be because it's bringing a patient out of town to a different hospital

It wasn't his fault he had to meet your parents under those circumstances... Just sayin.
