Today, I forgot my inhaler. I had an asthma attack and had to go to the ER. The doctors told me it wasn't an asthma attack. It was just a panic attack from worrying about whether I would get an asthma attack. FML

That sucks. And to the people saying "lame", "YDI", etc. Asthma is serious business. People die without their inhalers. That's like worrying about not having a parachute while skydiving. the OP had every right to freak out for forgetting their inhaler.

Aw, that's one of those things that isn't funny at the time but you'll laugh about it later. I don't have asthma but panic attacks are never fun :( And to all the people who leave comments saying YDI or that you should just get over it - unless you have asthma or know someone who has and suffers from attacks I don't think you have the right to judge whether this is a true FML. Also - have you never left something important behind before? Hope you feel better now though x

Yeah, I've got asthma, too. I think it's partly psychological - you can cause yourself to have an attack because you're freaking out about not having an inhaler, and such.

I think thats happened to most people with asthma.

Haha you can bring on illness yourself just by worrying about it too much. You need to relax more.

ive got asthma, but wow......this is lame.

Awww, sad. I get panic attacks, they're awful. Best of luck in remembering the inhaler from now on!

77 is wrong i outgrew my asthma and i never did any sports or worked out at least not before i out grew it

As Shakespeare said, A Fool's Paradise. A lot of my friends have asthma and they are constantly worried about it.

lollll that's awesome. I used to have really bad asthma, but it's gone now. Hope yours goes away too! ;0 Btw, why are people throwing insults at this FML. Have you ever had asthma? Also, what if it was actually an asthma attack? People should think before they 'type', eh.
