TIFU by chugging 900mg of caffeine within 5 minutes

Recently I’ve just been insanely bored and tired of my day to day college life so I decided haphazardly to lock myself in my room and chug three 300mg energy drinks back to back within the span of about 4-5 minutes. I have no friends at my college and am severely behind in my coursework, so every day I feel both completely lonely and severely overwhelmed. Not trying to start a pity party but I’ve been feeling pretty bad about myself as of late due to both not having any friends and being accepting of my poor grades, so I see this as kind of a punishment for being such a disappointment to both myself and my family.

Anyways as for the actual fuckup, as I type this I can feel the effects starting to kick in. I’m definitely someone that has a high tolerance for caffeine, and it’s only been a little while since I finished the third energy drink, so I’m not sure how bad it will get, but as of right now I can tell that it’s not going too good! Very fidgety and starting to feel aching on the sides of my head. I also am slowly beginning to notice tension in my upper left arm. My heartbeat is a bit faster than normal, but I’m sure it will get much faster with some time. It’s almost as if I can feel the heat of my blood going through the back of my neck, and now it’s taking a lot of concentration to stop my right leg from moving up and down.

I had actually planned on having a 1200mg intake at once but my body just would not let me drink the last can, so I threw it away instead. I’m still not exactly sure why I did any of this, but with any luck I’ll just have some time to feel something other than disappointment, even if it is bodily discomfort!

Huzzah!

TL;DR: Depressed? college kid with zero friends and a shaky future intakes 900mg of caffeine via energy drink all at once, because of boredom and loneliness.

TIFU by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...
