TIFU by thinking it was just period cramps.

TIFU by Not Realizing I Had an Extreme Magnesium Deficiency for 5 Years.

Over the past few years, I haven’t been able to focus. I had resigned that there was something wrong with me: probably an old head injury, cancer, new onset of autism, too much tiktok, unchecked ADHD or some other mental illness that would never get fixed. About 5 years ago, I was prescribed amphetamines and even went to a therapist that treated the issue as anxiety and learning to live with what I was experiencing through mindfulness.

It has only been getting worse after 5 years, so I just resigned myself that I was going to die soon and learned to live like this for years while just coping the best I can. This got even worse just recently when I had a seizure while I was waking up in the morning.

My focus been gradually going to shit with me lacking even the most basic ability to follow movies or what people were saying to me in conversation. I even worked with someone that would once told me “I don’t know if there’s something in your head that the words don’t catch...” but she was right. I couldn’t even follow the most basic ability to listen to others or read paragraphs from a page while retaining the main idea.

The other day, during my morning coffee routine, I decided to take a magnesium citrate vitamin that I found in the medicine cabinet just for fun since it mentioned nervous system support on the bottle.

I cannot begin to tell you the un-fucking-believable difference that happened in under 6 hours. It felt like someone rewired my brain into functioning again. 5 years of brain fog is nearly completely gone. I can follow conversations and follow what is being written down like I did 5 years ago. I did the same thing again today and I feel mentally healthier than I’ve been in over half a decade. I have a new outlook on life just because I curiously rummaged through the pill cabinet.

TL;DR: Resigned myself to dying young, but then I fixed 5 years worth of worsening focus with a magnesium citrate vitamin.

TIFU by going through my girlfriend’s old photos

My girlfriend and I have been together for 9 months or so and things have been up and down but I love her a lot and she loves me a lot. We’re both 20 and she’s had a lot more experience sexually than I have and this has always bothered me but besides that we have a pretty good relationship. We’ve talked about our pasts and she’s had some pretty bad experiences that caused her to kind of go off the rails up until we met. She’s all in on me and I’m all in on her and she’s expressed a lot of regret about her past choices and I’ve tried to be as understanding as possible but I’ve always had some insecurity regarding it. Well anyways last night I was on her laptop and saw her photos were linked to it and I stupidly clicked on it and started going through them. Don’t need anyone telling me that it was dumb and an invasion of privacy because I really realize that now and I will never be going through any of her stuff again. Anyways I ended up seeing a lot of shit. Clicked on a folder that...

TIFU by asking my boss why his cock got hard on my leg.

***not a fake post. I’m F 32, He was standing over one of my legs while I was sitting in front of him facing him (spinal adjustment) and he spread my knees with his leg, put his hand on my stomach and then there was a ton of sexual tension and I felt his cock grow into my leg and then start to fill with blood and then twitch on my leg. My boss has been leading me on for two years in subtle ways. Lots of waist pinching, close moments, and “were you good while I was away(s)?” Mostly breadcrumbing himself out to me while his wife (who I also work with) became increasingly hostile towards me. He is someone who has been a mentor to me for ten years. The two of them seem to be having marital problems on and off. The other month, while in close proximity, he started to get hard on my leg and moved when he noticed. A while later, I asked for an open conversation on the attraction between us and what to do about it. It has been distressing me and I had reached my limit. I figured since we’ve...

TIFU having sex with the hot tub

Happened a year ago, but today was when I was told how bad this is.    Having sex with the hot tub is a terrible idea.  Not IN the hot tub.  WITH the hot tub.    I like to relax at night in the hot tub.  No lights on, dark sky and all alone in my backyard.  Sometimes, the hot water and bubbles hit the right spot and things can get aroused.  Usually not a big deal and a little masturbation to climax helps with the relaxing part of the evening.  However, this night, I was too stressed to finish, but the erection would not go away.  I decided I had to take care of the issue and looked for the most immediate, intense stimulation by sticking my penis right up against the jet flow.  The feeling was incredibly intense and the desired effect took place within a minute.    Now I could relax.  But, something didn’t feel right.   Touching my semi-erect penis, I realized it was flopped over to the side, half way up...
