Today, I had an anxiety attack just from thinking about appearing on TV and being watched by a real audience. FML

Now imagine the panic attack you'll have when you see how famous you've become by having an FML published.

You don't just want to watch the world burn, you actually pour the gasoline and light the match.

Awe sorry OP, anxiety sucks but try and take steps to make it better so then you can at least relax with some television!

Think about this. At least you're on the television

Suffering from an anxiety disorder myself, I know how hard it can be to deal with a panic attack. I'm curious though. What made you think about being on tv I'm the first place?

OP probably takes comfort in the fact that his/her face and identity are concealed on FML...

There are no secrets on the internet, 25.

And on the next episode of 1000 Ways To Die...

Could be like The Truman Show. Watch out! Try to leave and see what happens.

Once in a public speaking class I took, the very first day, we had to approach the front of the class and stand there as if we were going to give a speech. I nearly fainted. I was getting gray around the edges of my vision. So I feel you. Then later that semester a girl giving an informative speech about a heart condition passed out due to said heart condition. Very effective speech, that.

Stay strong op.! I've had anxiety attacks before because I've had to present in front of my class. You're not alone (:

Hopefully you didn't have another one when you submitted the story to FML, where thousands of people will see it.

Are you scheduled to appear on TV? If so, that is understandable. A doctor can prescribe some anti-anxiety drugs to help you, or you could just get drunk. If you are waiting for the Publishers' Clearinghouse to come to your door with an enormous check, you're nuts!

OP should get high, not drunk. Atleast if they're high they'll be in a good mood and not make a complete fool out of themselves when they stumble on stage.

Perdix, you think doc bastard will write OP a prescription?

It would be scary if you actually where... I don't think you have to worry you just got real into the show.
