That time I did the thing with the poop. (the most embarrassing story of my life)

Fuck,
Am I going to regret this.

So I have a story to tell. I have only told a few people about this "incident". Initially I held onto this story with shame and disgust and swore I would take it to my grave... It is the single-most embarrassing story of my life. It is a moment where I objectively looked at myself and thought:

"Holy shit, this is what you have come to, you are fucking mad."

The missing toilet


Let me begin by saying that the home I was moving into with my boyfriend at the time was missing a toilet in one of the bathrooms and that bathroom happened to be the one on the side of the house near our bedroom. There was another bathroom but it was in his brother's bedroom that was also shared by 2 kids and his brother's wife. Let me also say I had recently gotten out of being in a mental institution that I was committed to against my will and was (obviously) not in my right mind.

So, now that I laid down that foundation...

The thing is I have really bad anxiety. At the time my anxiety was even worse than it is now, by far. I also was terrified of children because they interacted with me, a lot, and interacting with people was the main thing that made me anxious. Also, I barely knew his family and was staying there because he rescued me from having no home after being released from the mental institution. So, I was embarrassed and didn't feel at home and had this really bad anxiety, okay?

I am working my way up to it, you see, because it's really embarrassing and I have to let you know WHY I did such a thing.

The poop.


So, I ended up holding my poop for like 3 days out of fear of using the bathroom in the bedroom with the people. I had avoided even seeing the people pretty much entirely. I was like a ghost. A crazy, recently committed, ghost. On day three as I was taking a shower it became crucial that I make a bowel movement. It became unavoidable. I glanced around in a panic and saw a big pink cup. In my crazed having-to-shit-so-badly mind I decided to poop into this cup; thinking if I added water it would liquify the poop and the poop would easily slip down the drain and I could throw away this cup, have a new toilet soon, and keep this secret for life.

So, I shit in the cup, right? And of course as I haven't shit in like 3 days it was a massive shit with the density of a dying star. It entirely fills up this very large cup. And it isn't going to liquify by adding a little water. So, now I am standing there, naked, in the shower, holding a huge cup of my own shit.

And this would be the moment when I realize I am bat-shit insane and maybe they should have kept me in the mental institution.

I had no choice, obviously, but to use my hands to liquify this shit and get it down the drain. This took some time. I broke a sweat as I stood in a tub full of my own shit trying to get it go down the drain. Pushing corn kernals through the little drain holes and hoping for the best. Eventually the deed was done. I was exhausted.

In my frenzied, exhausted state I happened to forget the cup in the bathroom. I realized this as I was in bed, nakie, and comfy. I decided I would sneakily dispose of said cup tomorrow. What could be the harm in that, right?

The. fucking. cup. was. gone.

The wife had cleaned our bathroom. I had assumed the cup was safe because it was in our bathroom but had forgotten the wife was an absolute clean freak. This pink cup had been reintroduced to a collection of 8 identical pink cups. I couldn't throw away all the cups....I saw people drinking out of the cups. I saw kids drinking out of the fucking cups. I couldn't admit I had taken a large shit in their cup. That would surely land me back on the street, if not back in a mental institution. So, I had to just push it out of my mind that way one pushes their own shit down a drain.

I avoided the cups for awhile, but eventually, I figured it'd been disinfected repeatedly and should be safe. Besides it's my poop. And it was a nice, big cup.

So, that's the story about how I shit in a cup, and shoved all my shit down a shower drain, because of anxiety.

let it be noted the actual pink cup was huge but I couldn't find that exact cup.

I wasn't sure if I should put the category as funny or not, I guess it is wishful thinking.

I have to say that this made me LMAO. Thanks for sharing.

I am glad. :D It makes me laugh now, when I look back on it.

Great writing. You have the kind of honesty that made James Altucher popular.

Thank you. :D

I really want to write book that pokes fun at myself and reveals all these awkward moments. This was kinda, practice for that.

Wow! I barley saw this! I 'm not sure what to say!
I've had a similar experience, But not as extreme. I'm amazed that you'd share this!
Wow HAHA!

It was rough, but the response was entirely positive!
