The title speaks the truth! Lol. :)

Anyways in case you guys didn't know I have an anxiety disorder and OCD. For the OCD part I would like to say it is not to be confused with perfectionism. That's one of the most annoying things to me.

With the anxiety disorder things like going to school are very difficult. Getting to all my classes is nearly impossible. I'm also prone to having panic attacks. They range from shaking and fiddling to screaming, crying, and completely loosing control of my body which is kind of scary.

I occasionally have a light panic attack and can stay in class for it. I'm at a new school this year, so I've luckily managed to make some friends and we often hang out together inside and outside of school. There's this one boy that hangs out with us who's started mimicking me and my nervous behaviors. Not in a mean way, more of like an "I want attention too." way.

When I have a panic attack my amazing friends will always try to help me and calm me down. I hate being the center of attention among the group of us when it happens, but anxiety doesn't really care. Soon after I have a panic attack I've noticed that he'll start copying what I did, hoping to get the same attention. He usually does and then he's all smiles afterward.

I know that he's not an anxious person, I've seen how he acts. I've been around all kinds of people with anxiety and he doesn't demonstrate any of the symptoms. It's only when he's left out or the attention is on me or someone else that he'll pretend to have a panic attack. I've also noticed that if no one's paying attention to him when he's pretending to have a panic attack he'll just stop. He's fine any other time though.

I want to confront him and my friends, because it hurts knowing that he's taken advantage of an actual medical condition that's kept me from a normal childhood really hurts. Everyone in that friend group has known each other longer though and I don't want them to side with him and kick me out. Does anyone have any advice?
