Today, in my psychology class we were covering OCDs. I have an issue with creased paper and my best friend brought it up, so for the next hour my class mates sat screwing up paper to see how long I could continuously have a panic attack. FML
Annieisnotokay tells us more.
Just want to point out that I was pretty sure I had a last sentence that said 'turns out I lasted 5 minutes before fainting'. I am not claiming that I was in full blown panic mode for a full hour. I have a diagnosed OCD which does effect quite a large part of my life, I can't even use paper in class. The majority of my friends know I have this OCD and my best friend only brought it up as an example because she knows I don't really mind people knowing because for me as embarrassing as it is, I feel that if people know they won't make a big deal out of it and since I'm in year 12 I wasn't expecting people to over react as they did. The people who were doing it were the boys in my class who are really only in the class because they needed an extra subject to be allowed to attend the college I'm at. The teacher was trying to stop them but she was a substitute so naturally the already rowdy boys were not going to be told to stop.

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Your teacher is a complete and utter douche if they knowingly allowed this to continue.

I'm hoping you aren't in a college psychology class..people need to respect that OCD isn't really something you can conquer easily on your own.

Another Annie who has OCD. Nice to meet you. It's time for some new friends and ask your teacher if you can sit somewhere else.

It's also the fault of your friend. They shouldn't have brought it up. That was personal and if you had felt comfortable, you could have mentioned it.

Wow OP, I'm sorry they did that to you but some people can be jerks and find amusement in torturing other people. You didn't deserve that. Glad to see you've recovered though :)

Sorry to hear that. OCD is something that shouldn't be messed with. Just remember karma's a bitch and will get those jerks.

You should have an OCD where you Don't Capitalize Every God-Damned Word. You have no idea how annoying it is to read, it makes it impossible to focus on what you're actually saying and just makes everyone focus on how stupid you look. It's just plain wrong English, nothing more nothing less.

My OCD isn't super severe, but if people find out I have it...They mess with me. I know how you feel. >.

Don't make a mistake on an OCD FML, unless you love correction.

That is why you don't tell your friends those things

Based on your attitude about telling your friends things about yourself, it seems that you have some trust issues, or have had some pretty terrible friends who have betrayed your trust in the past. If you can't tell your friends things like this about yourself because you don't trust them with that knowledge, are they truly your friends then?

#88 just like OP said a few posts above yours- her friend was not intentionally saying it to make people get at her OCD, it just so happens she has immature guys in the class that took it out of hand.
