Today, in health class we were watching a documentary about anxiety. My teacher asked if any of us often feel anxious. I was too anxious to raise my hand, and went into a minor panic attack. FML

Today, I found out that I'm failing this semester because I've missed too many classes. I've missed the classes because I've been having panic attacks, a symptom of my anxiety disorder. I got the anxiety disorder because I was so afraid of failing school. FML

Today, in my psychology class, the professor had us write down our name and birthday on one side of the paper and on the other side put down a mental disorder we would like to know more about. I was going to write 'Social anxiety disorder' but I was too worried about what people would think. FML

Today, I had to give presentation at work, for which I'd extensively prepared. However, as soon as I started speaking, I had a sudden panic attack and forgot everything I'd rehearsed. I stumbled through the presentation, feeling the embarrassment steadily grow in front of my colleagues. I almost passed out. FML

Today, I had a panic attack because my wife yelped at me. What did I say that made her yell? I told her that I had just been diagnosed with a panic disorder that's triggered by people yelling at me. FML

Today, my social anxiety is so bad that the mere thought of talking to anyone, even someone who isn't even real, makes me feel ill and uneasy. FML

A lot of people are saying everyone has a phobia, but this really isn't true. Most people say they have a phobia do not. Being deathly afraid of something does not mean it is a phobia. A phobia is a true anxiety disorder, and people who are affected by one always have a big obstacle in their life. A true phobia will drive phobic people insane, changing them into almost a different person when they are around their irrational fear. I have a clinical phobia- Abodyemigphobia. It is extremely hard to live with, and people who don't really have a phobia have no idea what phobic people go through. Protip: If you go down a list of phobias and think "oh, I'm afraid of x so I must have x, and x, and x..." you probably don't have a true phobia.
