If you can't act like a decent human being you will be banned. No warnings will be given. Slur usage is not allowed in this subreddit and will get you banned without warning.
Moderators can use their discretion to remove posts they think need to be (advertising, repeated reposting of the AMA, no identification [My friend said I should do an AMA, AMA.], or otherwise posts that we feel may deteriorate the subreddit.
"Abandoned" AMAs (where the OP doesn't answers any questions) will be deleted. Be advised that only when a reasonable amount of time has gone by, usually a day, in which the OP doesn't answer any questions (or only one out of many) may the post be deleted. If there are special circumstances where you can't for a period of time, please message the mods and we'd be glad to not delete it.
Note the existence of two similar subreddits: /r/AMA and /r/IAmA. The main difference is that we have about 23x less the subscribers.
But this isn't necessarily bad! Maybe you want fewer people to read your story, or you have decided that your AMA does not warrant a large audience. In any case, that's fine with us, as long as you make sure you understand the difference before posting.
If you feel that you posted your story in the wrong place, don't worry. Just delete it and post it in the right place.

life is pretty weird sometimes being autistic. Ask anything you may have wanted to ask autistic/neurodivergent people but have been afraid to.
I've been having symptoms since 12 or 13, and I am professionally dx and on medication.
There's a lot of misconceptions on schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. I technically have both sides of the disorders (psychotic symptoms, mood swings and negative symptoms), So I hope this post can spread some information on it! Feel free to AMA!
I love being the centre of attention, especially when I'm the only one.

6 years ago I had my first extreme manic and depressive episodes leading to being hospitalized multiple times over the course of a few months. I denied it for years because everyone around me told me I was just lying and acting and I started to believe it. I recently have had a relapse and am still currently going through my second extreme depressive episode. Many of my friendships and relationships have suffered greatly because of my behaviour over the years which I now realize was often because of the disorder. I’m struggling to finally accept this and get proper help. Ask me anything.
One year ago, when I went to a water park, I ended up with an ear block due to ear wax present in my ear and water from the water park. After two days, when I went to the ear doctor, she gave me ear removal drops, and after a week, I started hearing a ringing sound. After 2 weeks, the ear wax was removed, but the ringing sound persisted. And now I have tinnitus.
I witnessed my father's suicide close range directly in front of me.
I’m 45, living with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and schizophrenia linked to MS, which has left me unable to work physically and without income. I've been battling clinical depression for 33 years, and I currently care for my 87-year-old grandmother and live with my 54-year-old uncle. Although I have medical marijuana to help manage my symptoms, I'm out of it at the moment and struggling to find legitimate online work options. Since experiencing a 10-minute UFO encounter with my father at age 13, I've wondered if there’s a link between my encounter and the sclerosis in my brain, as others who've seen UFOs report similar health issues.
Howdy! Like the title says. I was diagnosed at 28 years old. Ask us anything.
Married in 2000. The marriage lasted less than a year, and our divorce was finalised in 2004. I never really moved on as was still in love with him, and knew he felt the same way, but regardless we set off to live our new lives apart from each other. Sporadic contact over the years, but in 2017 we started chatting after having no contact for over two years. 2018 we moved back in together and in 2020 got married again. Have never been happier.
A visual aid is appropriate for a visual experience I believe; the live feed is up on Instagram u/hlf.hpy
note: if the feed drops prior to me bidding farewell, then please bare with me; Instagram can be quite shit when running on Windows with OBS.
OK. Last thing, the thread is bound by the AMA Rules, as such I will adhere to as much within the verbal/written content in the stream, with the art itself though, it's just natural form art, which may or may not include depictions of private things; anyone who read up to here, you're probably going to be fine with the content if you have truly understood what I've outlined!
You might say that this is a introspective experiment into the ability to provide a possible New Practical Method Of True Multipoint Perspective Interpretation?
Well, that's the Hypotheses anyway.
I'm Jamie Kerr by the way.
I learned how to groom in corporate, where the business model was getting as many dogs in and out as possible for a low rate, shouldering profit loss for increased foot traffic. I also worked at boutique salons where quality of haircut was of utmost importance.
I specialize in a mixture of American style (where dogs look like dogs, the haircuts are speedy and practical for every day life) and Asian Fusion (where you question if it’s a real dog or a stuffed animal). I also prioritize gentle, low stress handling. AMA!
Im a Open Book, Ask Away.
Feel free to ask my anything, theres a lot of misconceptions around psychosis and im hoping this can raise some awareness.
I grew up in purity Christian purity culture, I got married at 20 and after 1.5 years, packed what could in my car and went to the police. After files opened in 2 towns, stalking, tracking devices, harassment and brainwashing, debt and a peace bond, I finally was divorced. I slept on an air mattress for over a month in the beginning. I left behind 2 dogs and 3 cats, which can still bring tears to my eyes. I had to restart. He himself, grew up without a healthy father or mother and it showed. I didn’t take him to court, but opted on a year long restraining order, which most likely would have been the outcome of trial anyways. It feels like a dream and that it wasn’t me who lived that life. Ask away
NSFW for possible discussion of mental health!
I have what's called Developmental Stuttering, meaning I've had a stammer since childhood. I am 21(M). There's quite a lot of misconceptions about my disorder so I'm happy to shine a bit of light on it.
Also before I get insulted, I'm proud of my 49 listeners lol
I’m sure addictions are posted all the time and this may not even touch the iceberg but here goes. At the peak of my opiate addiction, I was on a daily dose of 200 mg of methadone, I ALSO had a 10-20 bags of heroin on top of this. I needed both every day. Ask me anything.
I have CPTSD, and leaving an abusive situation led to me developing seizures somehow. AMA
