Today, I was feeling very ill after a severe anxiety attack. I asked my boyfriend to hold my hand until I fell asleep. He said he couldn't because he needed both hands to play on his gameboy. FML

The Gameboy she's refering to is probably a Nintendo DSi

I simply can't bring myself to YDI or FML this one. Both players are too pathetic. What's with teenagers of today that so many are so feeble-minded and self-fixated that they keep having "anxiety attacks"?? And what's with today's teenagers that so many prefer an electronic game to human interaction? We've got OP basically saying "I'm feeling precious and pathetic - please hold my hand" and her BF saying "I'm so immature I can't relate to anything that doesn't have batteries and an on/off switch". OP: You can't ask for sympathy for an "anxiety attack" - that's pathetic. You only get to ask for sympathy for something like being hit by a car - and it needs to have been a big car too. As for your pimply boyfriend, take the batteries out of his gameboy, tell him to give you a call when he's worked out there's more to sex than masturbation, and then kick him out.

Anxiety attacks have nothing to do with being pathetic or self-absorbed. In fact, they can be the result of the opposite. For example, I know a high schooler who has to act as the mother to her own siblings, pay the bills, buy groceries, work etc. while trying to keep her grades up. The stress of adequately supporting her family sometimes builds up and she can have a panic attack due to being so focused on the welfare of her loved ones. Now, how is that pathetic or self-absorbed?

I think nosocks is feeling precious and pathetic. But I'm too immature because my fingers don't work unless they're tapping on a keyboard. Oops.

Panic attacks and anxiety attacks are different. I get what nosocks is saying, though. It is very common for teens nowadays to use such labels for attention seeking. Op provides no details regarding this anxiety attack, so I comment on whether it is genuine, however malingering is extremely common.

I think the amount of thought you put into your reply is pathetic. Get over yourself.

Look, I don't support whiny little kids running around claiming that they have such terrible lives, and being medicated for things that they likely don't have. However, genuine anxiety attacks are terrible, have a physical, chemical basis. Some of the worst kinds are not even related to day to day worries. Anxiety is your body's physical response to stress and danger, and anxiety attacks can have many of the same symptoms of heart attacks, even landing people in the hospital. Certain sleeping disorders come to mind for me, which can cause a person to wake up feeling like they are having a heart attack and unable to move their bodies.

Yeah, I have to disagree too, nosocks. Sure there are lots of teenage drama queens out there, but anxiety attacks are very real. They can be hereditary and scary as hell.

Nintendo no longer refers to portable systems as the Gameboy-- now known as the Nintendo DS-- unless you're referring to the actual Gameboy system: Big Grey (later in various colors...), Pocket, Color, Light, SP, Advanced... etc. But hey, nothing wrong with getting nostalgic :) even in your time of need...

If you made him stop playing his Gameboy, he'd become severely anxious which would make yours worse, which would make his worse, etc. If doing something with your hands would have helped, you should have given him a handjob. With all the yanking, cleaning up and sammich-making, you'd end up sleeping like a baby . . . a slutty, ***** baby.

I would be if I counted on others for entertainment. The beauty of FML is that you can come here and make it as interesting as you can. I am getting really tired of the long, off-topic conversations here. Luckily, I read FML mostly from a desktop Mac, so zipping past them is easy. I can imagine blasting through that crap is a real PITA on a mobile device. If I start engaging someone here in conversation, I'll quickly take it to the Private Message system to continue and leave the Comment thread to legitimate comments.
