TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by having my personality completely altered following a traumatic brain injury

Note: This wasn't today, the event happened around 2 months ago.

Note #2: My personality prior to this incident could be described as arrogant, bitter, depressive, and pessimistic. I was diagnosed with depression, and I tried it all, from SSRIs to counselors to get rid of these feelings, but nothing helped. I quit all medication years ago prior to this event, as I sort of “gave up” on trying, and accepted the fact that my brain was “faulty”, per se.

It was a normal night, like any other. I was home, and went to sleep around 11PM, like usual. I didn't take any medicine or drugs. Off I went.

Woke up around 3 AM, as something was hurting me in my chest area. The pain got a bit intense, and I sat up and started googling what the problem could potentially be, because I can totally diagnose myself on WebMD. Anyways, as I was reading through the whole list of potential causes for chest pain - my anxiety-filled ass thought I was having a heart attack.

I jumped out of bed and went knocking on my parents' door (they have access to all the medicine in the house) to get something for pain. Didn’t hear anything from them, so I knocked again. As I knocked the second time, something felt off.

I open my eyes. My dad is putting ice on my face, and my mother is pacing back and forth, in total panic. I have no idea what happened, or even where I am. My eyes fixate on a painting we have on our wall, and then it hits me. This painting is on our first floor.

I AM ON THE FIRST FLOOR?

I ask my dad what happened, and he tells me I fell down the stairs. At this point, it still doesn’t really register, and apparently (I learned this after the fact), I asked what happened multiple times. My head was spinning, and I was worried I might never come back from that state of confusion, becoming permanently mentally handicapped not knowing what truly happened. (Once again, anxiety is awesome!)

Blah blah blah, went to the emergency room, checked everything – my neck, my heart, my organs, and nothing was wrong. Turns out I either stood up too fast which led to my blood pressure to drop, or my anxiety caused all this.

Fast forward to today. (~ 2 months later)

Guys, I honestly think what happened to me was some sort of a miracle, or a weird ‘mental health jackpot’. Not only is my depression cured, but my social anxiety is also gone. I no longer hate people, but I see everyone as equal, and try to always be understanding and compassionate. It feels as if my eyes have opened for the first time in years. It’s a night and day difference.

P.S. - I’m not advocating for anyone to jump off the stairs.

TLDR: Guy was depressed and socially anxious for years. Guy passes out on top of the stairs and falls. Guy hits head. Depression cured; social anxiety gone.

TIFU by walking into a glass door.

This just happened barely 30 minutes ago. Ended up with a nose bleed and some of the worst nose pain in my life. I can’t even wear glasses without the pressure hurting my nose. So, how did I make the same fuck up a bird would? I put on my sunglasses to leave an appointment and ended up walking nose first into a glass door. Shambling back in shock, I had no damn clue what I had just done. It shocked me so bad that I didn’t comprehend it until I felt liquid drip down my nose. I had turned into the world’s bloodiest leaking faucet. Someone witnessed this in their periphery and asked me if they needed to phone someone. In a panic I basically wailed for them not to, even though I would soon freak out and think I need an ambulance. Someone else came by and ended up giving me paper towels, which quickly looked like I had murdered a mouse with them. My nosebleed soon stopped but not before someone else checked on me. TLDR; fought a glass door and lost. I do not envy the janitorial staff. ...

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 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...
