@ 9 - no, mothers don't suck, kids at a certain age are just super melodramatic. Teenage Angst isn't a joke cliche for no reason. Honestly you guys need to QUIT with this melodramatic "no body understands my life, i may as well die" crap out and fast. 1) there are people out there with REAL, SEVERE disabilities. you are more than likely not one of them 2) dear god, do you realize every high school kid has these issues. Im sorry - you are NOT UNIQUE in this "no one understands me" bit. Really. We've all done it and we all look back and realize we were retarded. GROW UP. Honestly, the mom was right on. Its called tough love. Get over yourself. Do you realize how selfish and self centered this so called panic attack was? It wasn't a panic attack. This was you working yourself into a tizzy during a solo pity party. And the fact taht you did it so everyone could walk by and see you was kind of an obvious "look at me" tactic. Been there Done that, This is about as original as an outfit from Hot Topic or Urban Outfitters. OH woh is you. Talk to me about panic attacks when you get laid off and realize you only have so long before you run out of money and can't pay rent, utilities or feed yourself and you know if you dont do something fast not only will you be out of a home and food but your credit score will drop faster than a high school seniors panties at prom and even if you DO get your shit together eventually your credit will prevent you from being able to rent anywhere or buy anything for a redunkulously long time anyway. THATS real life in this economy. Get ready and get over yourself.

That's awful. I get panic attacks myself and I know how awful they can be. Your mum's a bitch.

do you know the trigger? cause at least if u know it you can surround yourself with people you love, i find that helps. U should talk to your mom, she probably doesn't understand whats wrong

If this is A.S. get over yourself. If it's not, I feel for ya. It does get better.

and I'm sorry #62 but you don't know what the hell you are talking about. Panik attacks arn't selfish and in fact alot of times they are completly uncontrolable. and sometimes it's better to have a disability then to have a hidden less extroversive problem and not know what it is. It's not as simple as you say it is. and by the way you said been there done that which means you did it to... did you ever stop to think maybe it's just part of the natural process in growing up. Don't be a hypocrite.

#62 panic attacks aren't necessarily preventable. they are a serious medical condition and, yes, actually very common. they aren't always so dramatic, but they get in the way of letting you live your life. it can be an irrational emotional instigator. it might happen once in your life and you never think about it again. it can happen all the time and you don't know what to do to fix it and lead to complete breakdowns. you don't know that this wasn't a panic attack. or maybe the OP really thought they were having one. or maybe it was just a ploy for attention. who knows? you don't know what happened. but panic attacks as a whole are not selfish. the person suffering is truly SUFFERING from the attack. and #31 i've had anxiety issues ever since i was a kid, but the meds don't always work for everyone. that's all. i just hate the people saying that anxiety is no big deal and just "get over it".

bitchy mom. moms on fml r bitches

i wouldn't really call that an fml. it's just really sad.

@OP: *hugs*

#62: STFU and learn how to punctuate and spell. "Woh"? Really? Seriously?
