TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by not reading a prescription label and overdosing myself

I messed up so bad.

Alright so I've been on Wellbutrin 150mg xl (antidepressant) for over a year and at some point over the last 2 months, I started realizing that I was feeling much more depressed. So at my next therapy appointment, I brought it up to my therapist and he doubled my dose. Since I had only 150mg XL tablets on hand?, he asked me to take two instead of one and called in my new prescription. I intentionally schedule my therapy appointments on the day that I'm due to take my last dose. That morning, I took my last dose. I went to go pick up my new prescription and started taking two tablets a day. Because I've been taking this medication for over a year and am very familiar with the pharmacists, the pharmacist that assisted me didn't go over the instructions with me.A few hours later, I started getting extremely nauseous, lethargic, couldn't sleep, appetite disappeared completely. I didn't think anything of it because I had the same side effects when I first started taking this medication. So about 3 weeks have passed and my side effects are still going strong with no improvement. I've dropped 10 lbs. and the only time I can tolerate eating anything is when I take an edible and get the munchies. I can't even drink water. Today, as I was cleaning up my nightstand, I grabbed my pill bottle and noticed- huh..feels heavier than it usually does by now.. So I looked at the label and my stomach dropped. 300mg tablets that were twice the size of my previous dose. I've been taking 600mg for the past few weeks and making myself sick. I've been in a pretty bad place mentally, so I didn't even question the symptoms nor did it ever cross my mind to check the label. So I stopped taking my antidepressants for 2 days and my symptoms have disappeared entirely. I'm kinda scared to start taking them again!

Tl;Dr My therapist doubled the dosage on my antidepressants and sent in my new script to the pharmacy after telling me to take 2 tablets if I had any tablets left. The new prescription was 300mg per tablet vs. 150mg per tablet; I've been taking 600mg every day because it never ocurred to me to read the prescription label and have been making myself sick for weeks.

TIFU almost so bad by not unlogging from this Reddit account

I use this Reddit account to mod r/hearhimfuck , watch my porn and answer NSFWAMA when I feel like it. I religiously log off completely after every time because I don't want my partner or anyone knowing about this account. It's the holidays and we are all busy so I had a quick session with myself and ran to get a shower and leave for another family Christmas dinner. My phone stayed in my purse the whole evening. By the end there's 6 of us left and we're sitting in the living room, having mellow conversation. Pets are discussed and photos shown. Someone asks about my dogs so I go fetch my phone and sit back on the couch. As soon as I unlock it, there's a full blown ANAL clip playing. Fortunately, the sound was off. I manage to turn the sound all the way down and shut the app without anyone seeing. TLDR; Iwas THIS close from having hardcore porn blasting surrounded by my parents, my partner, an aunt and a two cousins. I can't imagine the aftermath of what could...

TIFU by fucking my coworker

Happened a couple of days ago, but yeah, as the title says... Oops... We've worked together for about a year now; we've always been friendly, but I never really clocked her as a potential romantic option; she's my coworker, she had a boyfriend when we started working together, and to be honest I just thought she was completely out of my league: I'm a schlub and she is gorgeous So when she texts me asking if we want to hang out after work, I genuinely thought nothing untoward would happen; I thought we were just going to chill and watch cartoons; and for a while we were just having a nice platonic hangout. But we got very drunk, and eventually she was giving me the bedroom eyes and saying we should make out. I very emphatically said that was a bad idea, but she kissed me anyway, and at that point I really lost any semblance of self-restraint.. I am not proud of myself, at all. I can tell myself that she came onto me, but ultimately I also comepletly let it happen. No...

TIFU by shopping on Amazon

So I have an Amazon account, and a family. Anyhow, the person I'm seeing likes to do things with me... try new things if you know what I mean 😏 Recently I've ordered a few packages with adult toys, swing, etc. And... clone a willy. It came in yesterday while I was out. While I was out I got a notification that the cloning kit came in. I sent my son a text asking him to bring my Amazon package in. He said he had already. I didn't think much of it. Until last night when I went to go... use it. I asked my son where the package was on my way out the door. He asked "The plant stand or the cloning kit?". Mind you, the boxes DO NOT say what the contents are, nor were they opened. He must have realized what he said because my face is a goddam story book. I just stood there silent and shocked. He pointed towards the closet. This has been going on for ages, but he has NEVER indicated knowing what's in the packages. So now my teenage son knows his mom is a freak. ...
