TIFU by getting high

S

So I (21m) had just got off work and had about 5 hours to myself so I had taken an edible to relax after work, but about 4 minutes after I initially ate it I got a call from my girlfriend’s (21f) work that she was feeling nauseous and had to be taken home. She currently doesn’t have a car and doesn’t talk to her parents so I’m usually driving her. I assumed it would just be a drive there and back home and everything would be fine so I went to pick her up. Once I picked her up she seemed in a lot of pain and asked to be taken to the hospital immediately. The panick from seeing her in pain made me completely forget I took and edible and rushed her to the hospital. One we got into the waiting room, it kicked in and it kicked in hard. I hate hospitals in the first place because they remind me of the death of a loved one and how I spent a whole week in the hospital for them, this ontop just a natural dislike for hospitals made me start to panick. I tried my best to hide it but the entire time I was panicking because my girlfriend was in bad pain, the feeling of being in the hospital was making me antsy, and the fear of a doctor saying something/noticing. Thankfully, I was able to maintain myself and didn’t freak out, and we were in the hospital long enough for the high to go away for me to drive us home safely. I then couldn’t sleep that night because I was still shaking from it and freaked out. I told her about it, and she got upset I didn’t say that I took one beforehand, and I apologized for doing so, and thankfully I was forgiven and we agreed to always tell one another when they plan to get high.

TL;DR: took an edible thinking I could relax and ended up having to take my girlfriend to the hospital which made me have a slight panic attack and not sleep that night, and now I have a bigger fear of hospitals and taking edibles at the wrong time.
