I’ve done this, but while deep in the throes of post-trauma dissociation. Dexterity and fine motor control kind of just “turned off”, leaving my limbs feeling heavy and numb for a good while. My other senses were thrown off too, but I recall having to watch my hands carefully so I didn’t drop things. It’s no fun.
That was a long while ago. Things are much, much better now, but man was that a rough ride.
I guess my takeaway here is that, while OP’s post is darkly humorous, it’s kind of the truth for some folks. Be kind to yourself and others, and don’t cry over (literal) spilled milk. Some days are just hard.
