Today, my anxiety got so bad that when I stole a sword in Skyrim and resisted arrest, I had a full-on panic attack as I ran away. I ended up curling up on the sofa as my character got hacked to death on the TV. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my social anxiety got so bad that I nearly had a panic attack when too many people joined my World of Warcraft party. FML
Today, I had an anxiety attack because I thought I'd lost my anxiety medication. It ended up being on the shelf right where I left it. FML
Today, I had a panic attack when a huge spider ran over my hand. I screamed, wailed, and killed it with a shoe while shouting. Ten minutes later, police slammed on my door. My neighbor called them, saying it sounded like someone was being murdered. FML
Today, I wanted to play Among Us for a little distraction. I ended up having a panic attack. FML
Today, I was halfway through a pair of pants I'd started making when my PTSD kicked in and I had a panic attack, and thought someone was yelling at me, so my response was to throw a pair of sewing scissors at the non-existent person. They hit the wall and now I have to get the wall patched up. FML
Today, I realised how badly the pandemic aggravated my social anxiety when I was playing an online game and an ally kept on getting too close to me throughout the match. I actually had to quit the game and take my emergency meds so I wouldn't go into a full blown crisis. FML
Today, I realised exactly how bad my social anxiety has gotten when I had a panic attack watching someone ask someone else out on a fictional show. FML
Today, someone tried to mug me. I panicked and ran. As they chased me with their knife out, I heard a slip and a shout behind me but kept running. Six blocks later I was spotted, arrested, and held for questioning by the police. The mugger fell, stabbed themselves, and told a cop that I did it. FML
Today, I had an anxiety attack when I learned that my favorite book series is coming to the end. I had to leave the store and sit in my car. FML
Today, my roommate came home and instantly began raging, cursing, and threatening to kill me. While I was cowering in my bedroom, the police had to settle the situation. All I'd done was rearrange some furniture. FML

It's all fun and games until they spot you stealing their swords!

I got caught stealing once, resisted arrest and got a "warrant" so every time I went to towns everyone attacked me. I eventually got so frustrated I never played again.

You can pay the guards and they will stop.

Seriously... I feel so stupid now. I tried for a couple months to figure out what to do and got so mad I traded the game in. I was pretty new to those kind of games, though, at the time so I blame my stupidity on my newbie-Ness.

Until that moment where you can fight the entire city and win by just face rolling your keyboard or controller!

My character in Skyrim isn't that skilled yet, but in Oblivion I've wiped out an entire town, guards and all, just cuz I can. It's fun. :)

It's hard to miss the pay the guards option :s They catch you and you get a selection of dialogue boxes. Personally though I'm always a close member of the thieves guild, pay a much smaller fee and keep all your stolen goods and go about your business.

Or become a thane that helps occasionally.

on skyrim or in real life?

We're they curved swords?

There's not much worth stealing besides money. It can be hard to sell stolen items. I like to steal weapons off of guards and give them wooden swords. It's funny... Until they can't defend themselves and die.

Thieves guild fences will buy stolen goods

My favourite game!

Why are you downvoted? I just got this game yesterday and I think it's cool too!

As someone who has played over 500 hours of Skyrim (100 ish on ps3 and 411 on pc) I can confirm that skyrim is probably the best game ever. whenever I get tired of it I can make a new character or just play other games for a while and come back and it's just as fun as when I first got it :D

#51: Don't forget about my favorite word ever: MODS! I had around 250ish hour on PS3 until I got the yellow light of death. Since then, I've been playing on PC and I can't believe how much I was missing!

Have you tried therapy?

Nightingale armor is the best when it comes to that. Plus the shadow warrior perk. Or you can go full out noob and tdetect the consol

No 39, you're the first person in 11 years to suggest that to him. Congrats.

Do you even 100 sneak?

OP should have been wearing thieves armor. All of this could have been prevented with thieves armor

50 OP might not be that far in the game, or just held off on the thieves guild quests and hasn't gotten there yet. I actually had so many side quests to do, I didn't do those quests to become a thieves guild member until last month.

Or OP could have dragged the sword away where no one could see it, then steal it.

Seriously though I feel bad for you OP, anxiety is horrible to live with and I hope you can get better soon so you can enjoy great games! :)
