TIFU by taking two Ducolax pills

This is a cautionary tale for anybody who needs a laxative. DO NOT TAKE DUCOLAX. That shit was made by the devil himself.

I have IBS-c and hadn’t had a good BM in a bit too long for my comfort. Looking to fix my shit free situation, I went through my medicine cabinet and found Satan’s gallstones, Ducolax. I had taken just one a few days before and it didn’t do anything so I took two. I’m no stranger to laxatives so I knew what I was getting myself into. Or so I thought.

Around 3am, I wake up with the most horrific stomach pain of my life. For the next hour it’s me, cold sweats, and the toilet. I had to put strips of toilet paper on my legs because I was so sweaty that my arms were slipping off my thighs and I needed leverage. And what did I get from all this pain? ONE BM. ONE.

After I went, I slithered off the toilet and laid on the floor with my shorts around my ankles, wanting to get back into bed but unable to stand because both my legs were asleep and I couldn’t put weight on them. I laid there panting and wondering how I could go back in time to never have taken those f-ing pills.

For the next 24 hours, I went between the bed and the toilet praying for death. The stomach cramps were intolerable. I’ve been hospitalized with a bowel obstruction and that was less painful. Once the cramping mostly subsided, I was left with horrible leg cramps from how dehydrated I was. It was the most painful experience of my life and at the end I lost 10 pounds. In ONE DAY. Don’t do Ducolax, friends. It’s not cool.

TL;DR- I took 2 Ducolax pills, had horrific cramping for 24 hours, and lost 10 pounds

TIFU By Fumbling My Gym Crush

I've never posted on Reddit before so apologies if anything is off. I (F) had a crush on a man at my gym for months. We would make extended eye contact frequently, workout in proximity, the usual gym things that get over analyzed when you like someone. He's wildly handsome, but I liked his vibe. A lot. It's hard to explain when someone's energy just hits different but his did. One day he started coming in with a woman. The day I saw her with him, he and I actually stared at each other from across the room for a while, and I turned and walked away because obviously gym rules - that's his girlfriend until I'm told otherwise. The eye contact continues and so does the proximity but I've dialed back completely because in my head, he has a girl and I am no home wrecker. Well, recently, on a Sunday, I was having a real shit day. I accidentally hurt my shoulder so my back day was all off, my body wasn't cooperating, the gym was packed - all I wanted to do w...

TIFU by sh*tting in the bushes at a high school

So I’m training for a local 10k race in a couple months. That’s about 6.2 miles. Not a long race but not a short one either. I’m making good progress and tinkering with what works for me on longer runs, how I can keep my body moving at an easy, consistent pace for about 70-80 minutes. I’ve been increasing the distance over the past few months, prioritizing getting the distance down before I work on pace. I train early mornings at a local high school track within walking distance of my house. They have public hours almost every morning from 6-8 am. It’s a very nice track with good lighting and ✨no public bathrooms✨. Because I’ve been focused on increasing distance I’m waking up earlier and earlier to get to the track and really hammer it out before I go home and shower for work. In turn, I’ve been drinking a little extra COFFEE most mornings get my body going. Til now this hasn’t been a problem, I don’t leave the house until my body takes care of business. I successfully dropped the ...
