TIFU by ACCIDENTALLY taking too much of my anxiety meds

So I am only 16 and my mom recently took me out of therapy for financial reasons and I have severe depression.

I was only doing therapy for about a little over a year and it didn’t cure me, but it did help a lot.

In September I went to see a psychiatrist to start meds for my depression and anxiety (lexapro and buspar). The medication didn’t really work for me because I didn’t like the side effects, or how it made me feel and I stopped taking it without talking to my psychiatrist (I know that’s bad don’t flame me).

It’s now late August and I haven’t seen my psychiatrist since September because my mom wouldn’t schedule an appointment.

They took me out of there’s about a month ago and my depression has gotten wayyyy worse. I remembered I that I had some leftover meds from before and started taking my buspar to see if maybe that would help. I was desperate.

I started taking the buspar to see if it would help. If you don’t know, you can take up to three pills a day but not have three at a time. I thought it’d be fine because it wasn’t expired or anything. I took one and forgot I’d taking it so I took another. And that just kept happening over and over again. I eventually started to feel dizzy but I’m fine now.

I know you’re not supposed to start a medication, go off of it, and then start taking it again without talking to a doctor but I was stupid and also desperate.

TL;DR: I was severely depressed and took medication from months ago that I haven’t taken in a while. I took one and forgot I took it so I took more and that kept happening.

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 getting called racist for not handing cash to a customer

today I (F18) fucked up by worked a long ahh shift and got put on register. I never hand money in people’s hands as customers have yelled at me for it, and i think it’s germy so I scoot it towards them as a sign of respect. this lady came in and after i did that she goes “Imma need you to do that again and put it in my hand, you did this last time too don’t you know it’s disrespectful” (meanwhile i haven’t worked register in 2 months at said job and didn’t recognize her) so i apologize, and then cuz it’s call off time i go talk to my boss about it and they all agree with me. apparently though she told my keyholder who’s a poc i was being RACIST by not touching her. so i got told i need to do better even though i didn’t do anything. she was insinuating i was a racist. idk if i should quit or what but i fucked up. TL;DR: i’m a dumbass

TIFU by making a joke that landed horribly

I was talking to someone and thought I was being funny, but the second the words left my mouth I knew I had messed up. It was one of those jokes that sounds fine in your head and then just dies completely in real life. Nobody laughed, the mood got awkward instantly, and I could feel my face getting hot because I knew I had just made everything weird for no reason. What made it worse is that I tried to recover from it instead of just shutting up. So then I started talking more, which only made it more obvious that I was panicking. You know that feeling when you can hear yourself getting worse while it’s happening and you still can’t stop? yeah, that was me. I kept trying to act normal, but the whole thing was already gone. After that I just wanted to disappear and pretend it never happened. I’m still thinking about it way more than I should, which somehow makes it even more embarrassing. I really should have just kept my mouth shut for once. TL;DR: I tried to be funny and the joke...
