TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by drinking vape liquid

So I've struggled with substance abuse for quite a while, always searching for a high to escape reality. Well 4 months ago I developed a condition called Hallucinogenic Persisting Perception Disorder (HPPD) which can cause a large list of mental disorders and also leads to physcedelic visuals permanently, uncurable.

Well the combination of anxiety, depression and having to accustom to a lifelong state of visual tripping only increased my desire to escape reality. I looked for solace in substances, using more but quickly found most drugs only worsened my condition.

Being suicidal after 3 days of binging speed followed 2 days later by a near death overdose with opiods made me realise something needed to change. I completed 2 weeks of sobriety motivated by the idea that it was this or death and I felt my life begin to improve.

But this fear wore off day by day and I relapsed. The following day my condition was far worse with imaginary creatures crawling everywhere, constant voices and smells that did not exist, and of course my sanity slowly degrading. By the end of the day as I struggled to complete some work, I became convinced the reason for the onset of my craziness was infact aliens beaming evil propaganda into my brain.

The borderline schizophrenia reminded me of the consequences of taking drugs so I vowed not to take any hallucinogens again. But a few days later as I tidied I discovered some vape pods for which the battery had broken. Bored and clinging to the mental connection I had created between substances and positive emotions, I decided to try to use the liquid orally.

I absorbed a small amount into a piece of cotton wool which i put up in my gum. For anyone who's used snus it was similar but with a more intense pain, instead of a burning feeling in my gums they felt freezing and my cheeks went numb for a while after.

The nicotine rush was weak however my heart rate blasted from resting to 135 and I began to sweat profusely before my hands started shaking uncontrollably for about 10 minutes. This wasn't enough to deter me from trying to get a stronger buzz and I switched to just swallowing it and used about 2 pods of liquid.

I'm wondering what damage I could have caused and how worried I need to be. I'm experiencing mild pangs of pain but I have very high anxiety so these could well be placebo.

TL;DR: I have a history of substance abuse and decided to drink vape liquid while attempting to go sober. What damage could I have done?

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. ...
