TIFU By doing LSD

I've done LSD twice in my life, the first time I had a good experience and that led to me wanting to do it again, biggest mistake of my life and im glad im not dead.

I took the tab, roughly a couple hours into tripping I was mid way through smoking a joint and i felt my left arm and leg go numb, of course i got worried and didn't know what to do so i ended up just trying to go to sleep and deal with the situation when i was not tripping. Woke up the next morning, went to the hospital and told them about my numbness and didn't mention the fact that my vision seemed a bit fucked up because i assumed it was from the lsd. They said if the numbing doesn't stop come back in 48 hours but since it was getting better I (stupidly) decided to not go back, a week went by and i realised my vision was still fucked up. Went back to the hospital and told them about my "vision damage" and they immediately rushed me in for a bunch of tests and a ct scan, within a couple hours i found out i had a stroke and after an mri scan a few days later, found out it was directly caused by the lsd. This is possible however it is EXTREMELY rare, so much so that the main doctor who's care i was under had never seen LSD induced stroke his 30 year career. It's now been a couple weeks and i'm on pills potentially for life and i've lost around 40% of my vision to the left. I should recover as I am only 18 and my brain still has years of development left and can rewire itself and fix it and even if my vision doesn't come back my brain will supposedly compensate. Don't fucking do acid.

TLDR: I did LSD, had a stroke but left it for a week. Extremely rare and unlucky but with enough time I will recover.

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
