Today, when I picked up my repeat subscription of anti-anxiety medication, they had changed the packaging to be more 'child safe'. Now it's so hard to get the pills out that I had an anxiety attack trying to take one. FML

I think all negative commenters need to read up on anxiety disorders before they come to a conclusion of 'stop being a pussy'. Trust me, I'd love to not take meds and be normal for once in my life. But, my brain isn't like everyone else's. Gladly I haven't had a panic attack in over a year because of my medication. It's nothing to joke around with. Some people can lose motor functions because of panic attacks. I literally went blind from a panic attack once. If those who make fun of people with a mental illness had to live in their bodies, they would feel like utter shit. Just had to get that off my chest because I've suffered for years trying to find a way to control my disorder.

18 - Anxiety is no laughing matter. I know a few people who have anxiety attacks and/or panic disorder. Something so small can trigger an attack; it doesn't mean they're a pussy.

It sounds to me you were just very frustrated at not being able to open the bottle. Not having an anxiety attack. When and if you ever get it open, leave the cap off.

you base your diagnosis on what? do you suffer from anxiety/depression? I'm guessing no. I suffer from anxiety/depression. I rarely end up with full-blown attacks but when they happen, there's no mistaking what has occurred. I'm sure the OP is significantly experienced to recognize the symptoms. what you wrote only displays a moment of ignorance and condecession on your part. I'm sure you're better than that. you could respond by acknowledging the irony with a simple 'LMAO' or funny joke. even the OP has realised the humour of the moment. you don't have to be mean.

How would you know if they didn't have an anxiety attack? Were you there?

Shut the **** up Auto. I'm sick and tired of your ignorant bantering. Either do your research and come back, or go get a life.

I hate how they put the child safe on things like that. Parents with medicine that their child shouldn't be taking should be keeping it somewhere their children cant reach it. I guess it's just extra precaution so the children don't get into it by mistake, but honestly it's a pain.

LOL. love the irony! thanks for sharing OP! I suffer from anxiety/depression. it's healthy that after the moment has passed you recognize the humour of the situation and share with everyone! makes me feel better about some of my whacko moments. have a better day!

if that gives you an anxiety Attack then just grow some balls and deal with it. There are hundreds of millions of people with REAL problems and deal with it, but you have to be looking for compassion from people because you can't get a lid off a bottle? Get a life

They had the problem beforehand, hence the need for the medication in the first place. Duh.

I hate you both. Therefore, you are both wrong.

56- grow up. You obviously do not understand the FML. And mental disorders ARE real problems- have you ever tried to live a normal life with one?? We are actually victims of our own mind, and then ignorant people like you have to come and tear us down when we already feel less than equal. So thanks for that.
