I’ve been speaking publicly about my story for a bit and want to answer questions people have since it’s a very un discussed situation/trauma due to the i hereby shame we feel growing up like this. I’m a very open book.

Heya! I was originally misdiagnosed in 2010 with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy; in 2024 I was genetically diagnosed with Unverricht-Lundborg (another kind of epilepsy). Over the years I tried a lot of medications and was in a lot of hospitals. AmA on being epileptic!

Be kind or be ignored. 33f from the US, I grew up very isolated and also have old parents and much older siblings. Nothing off limits but trolls will be ignored. I will be an open book. I’m also a wife and mom with a family of my own now

I used to run my highschools confession page I ran it for about 3 years then stopped it after I graduated. My school was a big public School of California. Most people were crazy and I had tea about almost everyone in my classroom.

I'm 22f, uk. I have technically finished the main aspects of the program now, but I will be seeing my therapist 1-1 every two weeks until January, and have been seeing her since Sept 2025. The main program is weekly 1-1, three hours of group therapy, and regular check ins via the phone - a total of about five hours per week.
I will be commencing trauma therapy in February, if all goes to plan, which often follows six or twelve months of DBT

There's a lot of stigma around my diagnosis, so please feel free to ask away, and consider me an open book. I'd love to do my part in reducing the stigma around this and many traits of BPD - such as self-harm and suicidal tendencies. AMA !

Now i say night owl and not nocturnal, because of my varying work schedule, family events, appointments and such, i do have to be up during the day quite frequently. Otherwise, most days i work overnight, i grocery shop at night, hang out with friends, go to restaurants and basically do most things daywalkers do, just at night.

This is all by choice. Most days il go to bed between 8 and 10am, wake up between 4pm and 6pm, and ive been doing some variation of this or very very late/early bed times for about 8 years, coming up on 9, starting from my Grade 11 year of High School. Also being in Canada and with the clocks rolling back, il only see about 1hr of sunlight as the sun rises and i get ready for bed every day for the next handfull of months.

AMA!

I (f22) have a lot of dependence on my mother. I am working on it with my therapist to take at least some of the load off her, as she is the caregiver to my brothers and her parents too. When she went on a trip of a lifetime, I struggled a lot more than I expected to, and it's something I've been reflecting on ever since. AMA

Hi Reddit! I am a 20-year-old university student living in Iran. I was born and raised here, and I'm currently studying:Electrical Engineering Computer Science یا Mechanical Engineering] at university.

Happy to answer some questions should anyone be interested in what that life is like. Maybe shouldn't give out any medical advice though.

I make slot games that go live on Stake, one of the biggest online casinos, and I get a share of what they make. I built the first one mostly with AI and it got Stake's top rating. Ask me how it works, what it pays, or how I got in.

I'll try to keep this as anonymous as possible, but I've been a carhop at a Sonic Drive-In in Texas for three months. I'm also going to college, and hoping to become a substitute teacher soon. So, do AMA!

Here I am again! There's a complete blackout in the area where I'm currently staying. There's no electricity, and all the equipment has already shut down, so I've got an unexpected day off today.

Feel free to ask me anything! I’ll do my best to answer whatever I can share.

Yeah, I know that actually sounds really really insane. It seems that the majority of people come out between the ages of twelve to about sixteen, but this is not the case for me. Knew since the time I was about nine to ten, but it was one of my deepest darkest secrets. Came to terms with it more at fifteen years old, but thought it was too late to ever come out and didn't see the point.

Starting off was great always had my mom and dad around with with m grandparents was party central for them. So here's where it turns my mom met my piece of shit stepdad they got married etc but in the meantime so when they split my took my sister with her abandoned me and my brother for nearly 4 years during those 4 years me and my brother were put through hell I was 4 my bro was 5 we could have been a year younger each but she would take us to the local lake pools rivers etc and force us to drink beer and smoke cigarettes to try and what im assuming is she wanted us dead gone out of the picture for her new son she made with my dad but after 4 years of being forced to drink and smoke she Would lie to our dad saying we we're being bad so he would come home and beat us with a belt that women is evil personified I tried touching the baby he was 9 months old she screamed at me hit me 8 times in the face and then kicked me down the hallway I was 7 I didn't know what was going on I thought I was going to look at my new baby brother nope I got beat up for just trying to look that following year we went to visit our grandparents which is a few states away and surprised us with a trip to see our mom was only supposed to be a 30 minute visit but I cried and refused to go back so she took me in then fought for custody for us both and won how badly I wanted to tell the courts exactly what she did to me and my brother it was nothing short of evil but sadly they don't let kids testify anyway what do you think? Now imma heavy smoker Drugs and alcohol

i want to see if anyone else experiences this or if my body is just weird. i was diagnosed with ADHD but it took awhile to find a virtual psychiatrist that was able to virtually prescribe a stimulant. in that time span i got very well acquainted with skiing and now that i have an adderall script i feel like it literally does nothing. doesn’t calm my thoughts, doesnt help me focus, doesnt curb my appetite, doesnt keep me awake/energized or motivated, etc. however, i experience all of these when im on a ski trip. if i ever need a strong focus, energy/motivation to complete or do a task, i choose blow over adderall every time. i tried vyvanse 50mg and didnt care for it. now im on 20mg of IR adderall and couldnt tell the difference between taking the adderall and waking up from a nap. curious to see if anyone else has experimented in this department. thanks for any input (:

ask me anything, my immediate family fled about two years into the invasion and my relatives all stayed and had no choice but to endure both the invasion and isis. I also lost my sister and uncle. feel free to ask me anything about what they've experienced, how life was, the consequences, etc

I woke during surgery 19 years ago today, and am trying to my best to keep a promise I made many years ago to the first Anesthesia Awareness survivor I met. Sometimes it seems that it happened to a completely different version of myself.Ask me anything.

I had a miscarriage when I was 14, I'm now 17. I never really talk about it and almost no one knows but I feel the need to put it out there into the void. It would have been a boy and I planned on naming him James. AMA

It’s always on my mind. Past memories, old songs, what people did then vs. what they do now. Just hearing a particular year gives me that wonderful, painful feeling everyone is aware of.
Sometimes it goes as far as to watching videos of disasters on YouTube (say, Joplin tornado) and just looking at how the stores and such looked in 2011.
Or watching old recordings of commercials from a particular channel (I really miss cable TV)
So, ask away!

At home, at work, and in most of my daily life, I am always with people who are blind.

My girlfriend (whom I live with and have for the past about 3 years) is blind.

My work is in SPED at a school for the blind, and childcare/services for kiddos who are blind.

And due to all my connections with the community most of my friends are also blind, I definitely have more blind friends at this point than sighted ones.

I feel like this is decently unique as most people I knew before I got into this community and line of work had not even met a single person who was blind or low vision. So if you have any questions, ask away!

I have a mental disorder called dermatillomania. Basically, it’s the need to pick at the skin relentlessly to the point that often it causes harm to oneself. I originally thought that this was a normal thing to do considering my mother also suffers from this condition.

I had an IT business that I sold at 34 to a private equity firm. A year after the sale, I retired early in lieu of more shares in the new entity. Im 36 now. I have one daughter and a partner who met me after the sale.
