TIFU: I Shared Too Much

Today, I was really excited that my friend was back at the dorm after 3 days, so I started talking about everything and anything without thinking. Most of what I was talking about was my bipolar disorder, which admittedly, probably was annoying because I mention that so much. I was telling her I was struggling with my mental health in relation to my bipolar disorder, my parents wanted me to come home, asking her about how studies have been going, how classes have been going, random things about myself, showed her photos of the food I was having, and the list goes on. It went on for about 30 minutes. Then, I started sharing about what delusions I had when I’m manic—listing them out and oversharing. After 3, she said she needed to go to the bathroom and go soon. I basically drove her away with my oversharing, and I knew it right away. I apologized, but that didn’t really help… She probably won’t even come back next week to talk, so I messed up big time. I feel so bad, it was probably so uncomfortable for her! 😬😓😖😣 Why do I overshare so much? How do I prevent myself from doing this? Agh, I feel like garbage.

TL;DR

I was too excited my roommate was back at the dorm after 3 days, so I overshared about my delusions during my manic episode. She seemed like she was weirded out and uncomfortable, so she went to the bathroom/left afterwards. I feel extremely guilty that I probably made her uncomfortable.

TIFU by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

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 ...
