| So last Sunday I was at work and my blood sugar felt like it dropped. Luckily it was my break time and I ate something to try to get it up. I also have horrible anxiety and it caused me to have a panic attack. I left work and went to the ER. Everything checked out normal. I had taken a ativan minutes before I got to the hospital because I was having trouble breathing and my heart was racing. So after the long talk with the doc he clears me to go home. Now I had taken the pill and was very relaxed and tired from it. My best friends daughter was having her bd party and I called and told her I wasn't going to make it. She said okay and hung up. I tried calling her afterwards because I did feel bad about it, but after my little experience from the day, I thought I should let my body relax. I have texted her explaining why I didn't go and she has not got in touch with me. I am honestly kind of fed up with it. If roles were reversed I would understand. I just needed to vent about this.
I'm also annoyed that her sister (who she lives with) has posted on fb that she wants to make a go fund me account. They are looking for a new house and I guess need money. It wouldn't bug me so much, but this lady never leaves her house. She doesn't work. Her husband does. I'm totally okay with the stay at home mom thing. But she doesn't even keep the house clean and now thinking of setting up a go fund me.... I'm aggravated. I prolly shouldn't be. I've just none this family a long time and it bugs me that they or she wants a hand out. Why not work? She's 30 something and has never had a job. Ughhh sorry for the vent. I just think a go fund me account should be for someone who needs it.
Sorry guys. Maybe I'm wrong to think this way, but I'm just tired of people thinking everyone owes them something when they are more than capable of earning their own money. |

| In my opinion the Go Fund Me accounts are only for people or families that have been through something terrible, not just people wanting something that they want but don't really need and can't afford on their own. |

That is my thought. A family who is going through a death or accident. Fire, tornado ect. |

| I would think anyone who knows them would laugh at a GO FUND ME account rather than contribute. |

| I feel like I should just unfriend them. Her sis is always getting on my nerves. Mainly cause she wants a handout. Now that my friend is upset with me because I didn't go the bd party, I'm about done with it too. We've been friends for 7 yrs and this I feel is just stupid. We all work and have things go on. Its not my fault I didn't feel well, and I'm to the point I'm not going to worry about this. |

Location: Piedmont, OK | But yes I do agree gofundme accounts are abused and should be for those in dire need for necessities. |

| I am so anti-drama so honestly my first impression is that you're getting yourself caught up in it. Send or bring over a gift and card and apologize for missing the party. If she is mad and doesn't want to talk to you or whatever- let it go and give her space for a bit. I learned a long time ago that you can't control other people- give it some time then try again. I'm guessing you're younger, it all seems immature.
On the Go Fund Me- who really cares?? Yes people abuse it--and if you disagree with the cause, don't donate! Maybe they will get the hint when they receive no handouts.
I feel like all of these "issues" are really non-issues. Good luck and I hope you feel better. |

If she was really that mad about you not coming, something tells me this isn't the first time you've flaked out on her, or maybe she thinks you're exaggerating your condition, or using it as a convenient excuse. Everything is just speculation until you talk to her.
With the Go Fund Me, they'll realize nobody cares about them getting a house when they don't get any donations. |

Location: California | I suffer from anxiety as well. First thing I can tell you... If people have never had anxiety, 9 times out of 10 they will think you are exaggerating. I had really bad attacks in high school and definitely lost a few friends because they didn't believe it. Best thing to do during a panic attack is to KNOW that's your problem. Don't go to the hospital (obviously blood sugar dropping is a whole other story). But if you're going just for anxiety, it's only going to make it worse.
Don't stress so much about the go fund me or anything that's their business. You're just going to give yourself another panic attack lol. Trust me, been there. No reason to stress yourself out over their lives. You can only do so much for someone and say sorry so many times. You'll make it up another time & if they don't take the offer, know where your friendship really lies. |
