Today, after nearly two weeks of being stressed out due to financial issues, I decided to spend my last 4 dollars on stress-relieving body wash. Apparently this particular body wash causes me to break out in hives and now I have no money for rash cream. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, after an extremely stressful day, I took a hot bath when I got home. I used my little sister's bubble bath to make it more enjoyable and relaxing. I then broke out in hives. I guess I'm allergic to bubble bath. FML
Today, I decided to take a relaxing shower. My face mask made my face break out in hives. While exfoliating, my nipples became chafed. Then I slipped and cut myself while shaving. FML
Today, I used a new fragrance-free hypoallergenic laundry detergent for my underwear, as I have sensitive skin. I got a rash. FML
Today, it turns out the beautiful, "organic" artisanal soap my boyfriend gave me actually came from the 99 cents store. He just wrapped it in some cellophane and gave it to me. I’m currently itching to death from the godawful rash and hives it gave me. I may need to go to the ER. FML
Today, my mom continued her search for a special, super-healthy laundry detergent that she knows makes me break out in hives. FML
Today, I found out that my recurring acne is actually bedbug bites. I have wasted about a hundred dollars on acne cream. FML
Today, I got a soap that my doctor recommended, because I'm allergic to the vast majority of soaps. After driving 45 miles to the only store that sells it, and paying $12 for a bottle, I found out I'm allergic to it too. FML
Today, I discovered that I won't be able to wear the dress with a low neck line that I bought for my cousin's wedding, because my older brother thought it would be funny to mix a scented body-wash that he knows makes my skin break out in hives, with my regular one. My chest looks like a pizza. FML
Today, I have a rash all over my face because yesterday my boyfriend broke up with me. Apparently, I am allergic to the something in the tissues with which I was blowing my nose and wiping away my tears. FML
Today, I'm so broke that when I got out of the shower, I had to slowly dry myself off with a ShamWow sample I received in the mail. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Best stress relief is exercise, and it's free! Good luck OP.

Ydi for thinking that there is a magical stress cure in a body wash. Marketing bullshit.

That's rough, I'm sorry your effort to cheer yourself up backfired. I hope you get better and things turn around soon! Stay strong!

If you had the ability to buy something frilly for stress instead of scrounging change for ramen, you're not that broke. Or very irresponsible. hope you're just not broke. either way stay postive and maybe don't spend your money unless you have to until you have a few EXTRA bones. Have a good night!

Get your money back because the product did not work as advertised.

I hate to say it because it definitely wasn't your fault at all, but I kinda saw this coming from only a sentence away.

Oh, man... This could be me. I've had almost non-stop financial stress lately, and this would be just the thing that would happen to me. Chin up, OP, things will get better.

Yet some how you have a computer/smartphone, maybe get a better job or finish your education

Yes. Because NO ONE could have financial problems at some point AFTER having enough to purchase a cell phone or a computer. And NO ONE could have financial problems, but have been gifted a cell phone or a computer at some point in the past. And DEFINITELY no one could have financial problems, but manage to somehow magically find a place where computers and the internet can be used for free.... (It's called a library, and I think you should probably visit one because it would help you think through things like this before you post them.)
