TIFU by racking up CC Debt

I have a bad psychological relationship with money. I can be impulsive. I buy things I think I need in order to try and make myself feel better.

After getting a divorce and being a hermit for the 3 years that were a blur, I started going on too many vacations, had a couple large vet bills, etc. I racked up money on CC. I took out a loan to pay it back at lower interest rate and was told to stop using the card. I used the card. I racked up more debt.

Over the last month, I’ve been dealing with a lot of issues. A break up. Loneliness of the holidays and no family in town. The burden of this debt. Isolating myself. All my summer hobbies gone. I started anxiety meds which are messing me up in big ways while my brain adjusts. I cannot stop uncontrollably sobbing and feeling like the sky is falling.

I’ve been taking steps to feel better. I work out. I eat well. I’m doing gratitude exercises. I’m engaging more with my friends. I deleted social media. I’m feeling much better.

Until yesterday.

A collections person calls me and starts berating me. She tells me I’m uncooperative, she is raising her voice at me. She’s asking why I spent money I don’t have. She tells me I’m not doing good enough.

Because of everything else above I start having a mild panic attack.

She starts berating me more. She says things like “you’re acting like I’m accusing you of treason” and “I’m saying boo and you’re having a complete meltdown” and the worst was “people are going to listen to this recording and wonder what is wrong with you”.

The entire time I’m speaking with her I was trying to be calm. I’m acknowledging I messed up. I’m acknowledging she’s doing her job. I messed up. I need to pay it back. I feel guilt. I feel ashamed. I’m angry at myself. I deserve the punishment. But I also don’t understand why she had to make it so personal and say everyone is going to think something is wrong with me.

That’s my f up and now I need to figure out how to get out of it. I can. I will.

TL;DR - I racked up a lot of credit card debt and feel awful. Then got berated by somebody doing their job in trying to recover the money for the bank.

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...
