TIFU by lying to my dad... among other things

EDIT: I'm 23....

Today I had one of those monkey brain moments and wondered what sticking a knife in an outlet would feel like, thinking that its only an issue for children because they're smaller, well that was not the case. Turns out sticking a knife in an outlet really fucking hurts and I couldn't free myself as the electricity was holding my hand closed.

Luckily my dad noticed me in time and so I didn't get seriously injured, but then came the hard part of explaining to him wtf I was doing, I didn't want to admit that I was so stupid that I intentionally stuck a knife into an outlet for science and self-discovery, so in the heat of the moment, I said I was having a bad day with my depression because thats just the first thing that came to my head in the moement for some reason, which caused my dad to make the rational conclusion that I attempted to take my own life.

So now I'm being forced to go to therapy and I'm on suicide watch because I didn't want to tell my dad that I almost killed myself unintentionally out of sheer stupidity. :)

TL;DR: I put a knife in a socket because I'm stupid and dad thought I was depressed and put me in therapy
