TIFU: I read descriptions of some movies and now I can’t sleep

I was watching criterion videos and googled some movies someone mentioned. Specifically, Bill Hader mentions salo as a date movie and I did get it was sarcastic but I immediately googled it and… wtf. I proceeded to got down a rabbit hole of simply just reading descriptions of the most disturbing movies ever, because I was bored and it was amusing AT THE TIME. Now I’ve been lying in bed for over two hours and I can’t stop thinking about how disgusting the descriptions I read today are. Now, before anyone says I’m freaking out too quickly. I watched “Bones and all” a while ago (the acting was good I guess) and although I found it disturbing, I watched it until the last scene. But these movies I read about today make “Bones and all” sound like a lighthearted film. When I watched that I thought it was probably one of the weirdest movies ever. But I guess I’m naive so yeah. It’s not that I don’t know horrible stuff happens in life it’s also… why would you want to put that on a screen, and also why as an actor or director would you want to partake in those movies. (Actually don’t answer that question I don’t even wanna know) If anyone has advice on how to… put these things out of my mind or change my perspective or something, please let me know because I’m going insane thinking about this shit

TL;DR: I read descriptions of disturbing movies because I was amused and now they’re preventing me from falling asleep

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 ...
