13 things that will only make sense if you grew up with asthma

It ain’t easy being wheezy.

1. Of all the things you could be bad at, you had to be bad at breathing

The one thing you really need to do. Thanks a lot, body!

2. And portrayals of asthmatics aren’t exactly that forgiving

Does asthma make you a nerd, or do you get asthma because you’re a nerd? Inquiring minds want to know.

3. PE and playground games were actual torture for you

After 30 seconds of running, your lungs were on fire, so you were always ‘on’ in Tip the Can. THANKS, BODY.

4. And these days you’re pretty sure you’d be the first to go in a zombie apocalypse

5. Your greatest challenge? Hoofing a big breath into one of these things

Hey look, you got the marker farther than you did the last time. What a fun time for you!

6. But your greatest despair? Being given your first inhaler

7. And having to bring it everywhere with you

School tours, teenage discos, granny’s house, everywhere. And the bollocking you’d get if you forgot (or ‘forgot’) it!

8. And having to take a puff in in public

9. Even so, the feeling of relief after taking one was and is unmatched

It’s almost impressive? Terrifying, but impressive.

11. If you had to pick one thing to take with you to a desert island, it would be this

12. The passing of the smoking ban was a cause for celebration for you

Secondhand smoke = Satan. This is the truth.
