TIFU by napping in my car

I've been on antihistamines for a couple months and recovering from a few months of major allergic rashes and hives, which also torched my mental health, making me so exhausted I had to go on new meds. I've been back and forth between meds since. The exhaustion has come back this past couple weeks, even though I've been going to bed on time and taking my night meds that used to guarantee I'd be conked out for the night. Now, they haven't been doing much and I've been having insomnia but on the verge of falling asleep all day. My work starts at 8 a.m. and I have to be there then because I'm the front desk person.

Sometimes I have to nap in my car in my workplace parking lot during my half hour lunch to regain enough energy to keep working. That was the case today, but I woke up to a police officer opening my car door. There were 2 ambulances and like 8+ police/first responders that pulled up. Apparently someone had been "worried about me" but hadn't decided to knock on my window or speak to me before calling the police. (I work downtown near where a lot of homeless people gather and we get a lot of overdoses here).

Our Fiscal department can see all activity in the parking lot from their windows upstairs. I also came in to a frienzied member of the HR team asking where the Narcan was because they were worried they'd have to use it after they saw all the ambulances pull up.

tl;dr I napped in my car during my lunch break from work - a bunch of ambulances and first responders pulled up and people thought I was dying.

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 ...
