This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Op should tell her asap. Op caused this and if op truly cares about the situation they should take responsibility and the blame.
Worser cases reality 1: The panic attack was unrelated and Op is a stone cold bastard for not asking/showing empathy about it.
Worser cases reality 2: Gf thinks there was someone else and she had cheated with on accident, these panic attacks keep occurring as its settles as a deep trust issues complex.
Best case reality: Op tells her straight to the point and offers a sincere apology. Gf forgives op, and the relationship is strengthened in the long term.
Mixed reality: Gf is furious and dumps Op on the spot. They both dodged a red flag and were simply not compatible in finding eachothers boundaries. You don't pull jokes like that on a single whim, it’s clearly part of their nature.
This is a green text and probably fake btw.
Are you the kind of person who thinks pranks are inappropriate too? I would not apologize for this and I would not respect someone who apologizes for this. It's funny, it's over, it makes a good story, and it builds character.
As someone who has experienced psychotic episodes in the past, this "prank" would really fuck me up in a really unfunny way.
We don't know much about the gf, but we know that she supposedly had a panic attack over it, and that's not funny.
I'd find it funny only if I was told within a couple minutes (before having a panic attack, contacting my psychiatrist, and making arrangements for a potential inpatient stay), and I would absolutely dump a partner who'd refuse to apologize for this.
You honestly wouldn't apologize to your partner after your 'prank' gave them a panic attack?
