TIFU by eating chocolate covered pretzels

TIFU having the worst breakup ever.

18M here who was in a really long relationship with my ex 18F. We dated/talked since the end of 2020 and we officially broke up a few months ago. this relationship became very toxic out of no where and I wish things didn't go the way they had. We were really in love and if we were to never get back together with each other, I would never forget her. I have nothing bad to say about her and I never will and I can admit that I was the reason we broke up. We had our differences in high school and I never truly sat there to understand her in the way I should have. She was the best person that has ever walked into my life and ever since we broke up, my life has been going downhill rapidly. I'm starting to lose myself and am filled with so much regret from my past relationship because I know there are so many ways I could've fixed it and we could've still been together. I wish I could go back in time knowing everything I know now and just change it all to where we are still together now. It's really hard on me because I've finally come to the realization that there's a chance this woman may be out of my life for good and it was all my fault and I'm having a rough time trying to cope with it. I haven't gone to the gym in months and my health is on a decline, and I've had close to 0 motivation to get anything done because I always have something on my mind. I've started to smoke more weed and it has completely ruined my drive for anything and i'm starting to stay stagnant and I am just not improving myself like I should be. every single day I get filled with regret and I just lose any and all motivation to do anything because I just cannot stop thinking about the past and how my life has just been going downhill. I distract myself with weed and I go out with my friends to try and get my mind off of everything, but nothing works. I know i need to just stay focused and try my best to improve myself, but it is just so fucking hard. I'm always in my head and I never have energy for anything. I've made myself a good morning routine to try and stick to, but I just cannot get myself up in the morning to do the things I need to and to be productive. I also sit here and think and pray that she doesn't meat another guy because I want to give her everything in this world and just show her how sorry I am for everything that went wrong in the relationship. I just don't know how to move on and begin to learn to love myself. I hate myself right now and I don't know how to get out of this hole that I keep digging myself deeper and deeper into. I don't want to get myself in a situation where I have a bunch of bad habits and can't get myself out of it. I just want to become the best man I can possibly be and prove to myself that I can get through it.

TL:DR Had a huge breakup with my ex and now my life is in a downhill spiral that I don't know how to get myself out of.

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 ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
