Today, my mom convinced me that she and my dad were getting divorced. I have anxiety problems, so I had a panic attack. She then laughed, and said, "Just kidding, I wanted to see your reaction. It's the best so far." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I took my girlfriend to meet my parents. My dad thought it'd be hilarious to act surprised and ask me if I'd already dumped the girlfriend I introduced him to yesterday. She slapped me and stormed out of the house before my dad could tell her it was a joke. FML
Today, I was diagnosed with a chronic pain condition. My parents seemed very sympathetic and my mother even cried. When we got home, though, they started laughing and asked if I really believed all the shit the doctor was talking about. FML
Today, a girl was telling me how she was very stressed over her parents' divorce and moving away to another part of the state. While I was listening, I started choking on my saliva. She thought I was laughing. She hasn't spoken to me since. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She promptly had a panic attack and screamed, "No!" FML
Today, I tried to tell my dad that I was really struggling with my mental health and didn't think I could stay alive much longer. He laughed. This comes after telling my "best friend" last week and having to wait three days for a reply. FML
Today, I found my mother in tears, so I asked her what was wrong. She told me, "It's your father, he wants a divorce..." I asked if he'd met another woman, and my mom replied "No, not a woman..." FML
Today, as an April fools day joke, I decided to tell my mom and dad that I was gay. After an awkward silence, my mom looks at me, smiles, and says, "well, we have known for a while." She wasn't joking. FML
Today, I had one of the worst panic attacks in years. I was worried nobody cared about me and that I had completely messed up my life. I was hyperventilating and crying hysterically. My mom walked by my room, looked at me, and said, "If you're going to make those noises, at least shut the door." FML
Today, my mom read my diary. Then she frantically booked me an appointment with a psychiatrist. FML
Today, I went to the doctor's office, where my mother happens to work. When my doctor tried to prank her by saying I have chlamydia, my mother laughed and said she didn't believe it, adding, "Have you even seen the way she interacts with boys?" FML

Ha!! Tell her you are expecting a child, and enjoy the show.

You should have told her "Good that you are joking mum. I wouldn't have the heart to tell you I would choose to stay with dad!"

Maybe you should get some help for that anxiety. I have severe anxiety and even I think reacting to that with a panic attack is an overkill.

I have severe anxiety also, and I think a panic attack would be justified. Just because something wouldn't necessarly set you off, doesn't mean it wouldn't set OP off. But I agree that OP should get some help... Or start plotting some sweet revenge :P

You should have said, "It's about time. Now I don't have to tell you how I walked in him screwing another woman." On the other hand, with all the time and money she's spent on your therapy and meds, she should be able to have a bit of fun with your disease.

First part, she/he should say that!! Second part: that's just rude. No parent should make a joke of that and purposely put their kid through that. Like wow!

#16 Have a little fun with your disease?! Clearly you have never experienced a panic attack or been around someone who has them. Anyone who thinks it's appropriate to "have fun" with another person's mental disorder is beyond messed up

I can see the main cause of your anxiety....get away from your psycho 'rents ASAP!

Though OP's mother played a cruel prank to horrendous effect, she meant no harm by it. Doesn't make her psychotic. Also, contracting "parents" to " 'rents" just doesn't work.

Alot of people in the UK use "'rents" as a word for "parents".

Look at the possible strength of their relationship...enough to joke about divorce! Perhaps cruel knowing your issues. However sure it won't be last panic attack you experience.

That's an extremely immature thing for a mother to do to her child. I'm sorry, OP, I'm sure you'll be a better parent than this when you have kids.

What kind of mother gets pleasure out of hurting her child? Your mom has issues. I'm so sorry you have to live with that psycho. FYL.
