Let the chaos begin. 😏🌀

I struggle with awful mental health, substance abuse, homelessness. I’m tired of this life that I live. My family has all but given up on me. Except for my best friend. She kept offering me a place to go but I always said no I’ll figure it out. She lives in Ohio. She’s my platonic soul mate. And we cohabit so well together every time we lived together. We thrive really.

Stability has been the hardest thing in my life along with my mental health. It’s been a reoccurring cycle.

Something happens to where I’m off my meds.

I go manic and end up relapsing

Then I successfully ruin my life in less then two weeks.

This has been happening for six years now.

I’m going to Ohio on Wednesday. Let’s try this again.

Networking shouldn’t feel forced or awkward. I create spaces where business leaders connect naturally no fluff, just real conversations. Ask me anything!

My therapist ghosted me. Imagine fet ghosted by a Therapist

I’m gonna keep this short cause I just wanna vent and not feel crazy. I’ve been friends with with this guy at ups that I met 4 years ago. btw I’ll just be completely honest we’re both males and he says he’s straight but we are intimate with each other. Which HE INITIATED FIRST. He was nice at first and we had our first hang out but then that night we played super smash bros and he got so mad that I beat him he started talking so much shit and left to the bathroom. When he came back he apologized and said he shouldn’t treat me that way. I forgave him and we moved on. Little did I know this would repeat and get WORSE for 4 years. We work together constantly because we asked for it to be that way and he got fired once already cause he hit me at work and I told my supervisor. I immediately felt sorry for him potentially losing his job and lied to my job saying we were playing around. ( he got his job back) that was year one. Since then I’ve been constantly dealing with him hitting me(leaving me marks and black eyes) offering to take me home but then when we are driving home he berates me and leaves me stranded most of the time so I have to Lyft or call my mom. He goes to therapy but still acts the same with me, there’s more details but basically he hit me again 3 times today in his car and idk I just wanna tell someone and I feel trapped. :(

I fully believe that we r being visited by an alien civilization. I’ve been intrigued for many years but slowly became more open to the idea

Just like the title says. I am a male therapist, I work in a very female dominated field (about 70%) of all therapists are female. I have experience working with people who are struggling with substance use primarily as well as people who have been found criminally insane. Also, as a reminder, I am a therapist, but not your therapist.

I’m a former lawyer who absolutely detested the practice of law. However, I find the study of law absolutely fascinating. I’m particularly intrigued by the “modern” (post-1970s) Supreme Court. I listen to the oral arguments, read books about the various justices, and watch their lectures.

I have been in the car rental industry and have done a huge amount of Turo rentals for a decade now - ever since Turo was known as RelayRides. The two recent events - New Orleans and Las Vegas involved Turo-rented vehicles.

I’m a female in my early twenties who graduated medical school after 7 and half years(in Nigeria). Ask me anything

In 2023 I found out I was going to be a father. It was a one night stand. I was a junior in college. I had a startup in the idea phase, and no one took me seriously. I was seriously concerned that I would need to liquidate my startup to find a “real job” with steady pay in order to finance my new family.

But 2024 was a big year for me.

My son was born unexpectedly at 4lbz 6oz in June. This required constant sleepless nights while building my tech startup in the day.

My company sold for $10m in December, allowing me to finance my family and my chronically ill mother.

I graduate college in May, and will be working full time throughout school on salary. I’m hiding away the money I received in the sale (I have no clue what I’d spend it on)

I am sharing this experience to find people with similar stories, and to explore the intersection between parenthood and financial success.

AMA!!

I’ve been playing guitar for 5 years now and bass for a little under a year. I own just under 20 guitars and I’m currently working on my first demo called ‘evidence locker’… AM F’n A

While selling our house, we were asked if we’d be interested having our house included in an episode so we went for it. AMA

I am 19 and was born with multiple limb deformities, including my fingers on my left hand except the thumb, 3 toes on my right leg and my left leg of which 2/3 of my lower left leg got amputated at birth, also because of a patella dislocation i have limited extension of my left knee.

Feel free to ask me anything no matter how offensive it might seem, i have pretty thick skin.

Edit: I will go sleep now as its late but ill keep the post live and check in the morning.

My mom is a licensed ED clinician at a residential treatment facility. To preface, I wasn't super aware of exactly where she worked at age 12, as my mom was trying to protect us, but my twin sister Scarlet and I began developing ED behaviors, and my mom got worried. She wanted to think we were too young, and waited to ensure it wasn't just a phase, but we were falling off the growth chart. She and my dad staged an intervention and got us into the center (the only one nearby) after many months of this and trying to handle it at home. I was absolutely shocked when I realised what she did for work. It was a long road and it's definetly a unique story.

I spent months planning to safely leave my abuser, was only able to get away safely by leaving almost everything I owned behind. The violence was escalating at an alarming rate and I truly feared I may not survive the next beating. Feel free to ask me anything

Summer after Sophomore year of high school (2008) my friend and I became rather prolific “catfishers”, operating under the same Facebook account—as a hot 16 y/o blonde “Ellen” who was moving here (undisclosed, USA) from the UK soon and wanting to make some friends / get to know her new city before school started in the Fall. Of course, the term “catfishing” didn’t become a thing until years later - we just called it having fun fucking with people.

We/Ellen had our tentacles in dozens of high schools, mostly those located within city limits, but some in suburbia as well. This helped us establish mutual friends, to gain more followers faster and solidify our authenticity. Additionally, our fake persona was actually a real girl from the UK who gave us the O.K. to use anything and everything posted on her Bebo account. Old pictures and new.

At first we carried on convos with boys around our age (15-17), some we knew personally, some we fringe-knew, and some we didn’t know at all/complete strangers. Maybe 50+ that first month in June - masterfully dividing and conquering these faux relationships and their friend groups. Basically all of whom who wanted to meet up in person at some point—whether that be the day after Ellen officially moved to town in late July, for coffee after school once the year starts (late August), or at “my boy’s party” after the first football game, which of course meant someone’s parents’ basement. Obviously these meetups would never happen but it was fun to make fake plans, having fun fucking with people.

Some convos went deeper than others, some romantic in nature, some friend-zoney who just wanted to chat. Either way, we were getting the tea, and lots of it. By the end of summer, Ellen was known. Our convos with boys exclusively turned into convos with everyone. A few girls reached out to us inquiring about our off-the-record messages (or “DMs” as they’re known now) with their guy friends and wanted to know more—who Ellen was, what was she about, etc. Once we realized we could navigate the female psyche just as well, we dove the fuck in. Getting piping hot goss from all high schools, public and private within a 20-mile radius, and from all walks of life. The preppy kids, the jocks, the IB kids, the stoners, the Jack & Jill’ers and even the weird camo-wearing hunter types—everyone. 50+ turned into 200+ by end of summer. Things were getting a bit sticky especially with us, for the most part, navigating our own set of relationships separately.

Ellen would be enrolling into our rival high school (10-min drive down the road) so she’d be close enough to people we knew IRL but not TOO close. We avoided having convo convos with anyone who went there, just adding those kids as friends and nothing more. However as syllabus week (first week of new school year) came to a close, we realized we formed way too many relationships with people from our actual school + nearby schools who had friends that went there. They wanted eyes on the prize. Ellen, in the flesh.

We went dark on (or “ghosted” as the kids say these days) those most eager to meet Ellen and/or had close ties to her new school. It was still fun but not nearly as so. Either way, we were getting bored and wanted to shake things up. So during Winter break Junior year (Dec ‘08) we hatched up a plan for new-Ellen.

She/WE would become a gossip-girl type character, commenting witty things under photo-dumps or under wall posts, as well as drip releasing info we gathered over the past 6 months with beautifully-crafted GG style postings. We never made a formal announcement on this switch to new-Ellen, just sorta trickled out the comments and a few posts at first.

Old-Ellen operated in the shadows. New-Ellen was out and proud; brazen but not too brash, comedically clever, and cool with everyone — all in all, a wildcard. In hindsight, new-Ellen (and old-Ellen to some degree) was all the things we secretly publicly aspired to be.

She became an icon of sorts, In-person/in-classroom and online. Some people loved her, understanding completely what new-Ellen was about and feeding us info from that weekend’s shenanigans. Some didn’t care one way or another, just there to lurk. And some hated her, wanting her to be outed or banned from FB altogether. For the most part, those individuals were the ones we had fooled/conversed intimately with over the summer. But they’re not gonna blow that cover, no, no, - it was because “she’s spreading lies” or whatever.

By start of Senior year Ellen was known AF, infamous in a way, at least from our 15ft purview. Us two quiet and quirky gals would regularly overhear classroom clique circles talking about Ellen’s comments and/or speculating when her next wall post would drop or what tea she’d spill next. We felt like we finally had friends, as strange as that sounds. Whilst the notoriety made me want to tame down our online rhetoric, it fueled my partner in crime’s, with her comments/posts getting more and more revealing. By Thanksgiving break (late Fall ‘09), the cops sent out a warning via the literal local newspaper (I still have the article saved down if Mods need proof) and had our admin send out a school-wide press release via email. All of which essentially said SHUT THIS SHIT DOWN. NOW.

It’s true, mad moms do make things happen, and fuckin quick too! The abortion that broke the camel’s back we’d say…

And no, we were never caught :)

Anyway, AMA.

I'm 90 days sober after a 5 year long battle with drug addiction. My drug of choice was a mixture of both cocaine and ketamine. (Not always at the same time but both throughout my addiction)

Thank you to everyone who offered me congratulations, sobriety is lonely and this has given me plenty of reasons to keep going. Even if it is just strangers on the internet I have deeply appreciated all of your kind words.

For a long time I have been psychology, if not physically, addicted to alcohol.

I don't want to play into stereotypes of the British at all.

But yeah...

My parents married when they were 18 and today is their special day. 50 years together. Their are getting old and their memory starts to be not so clear so in this days they have been telling me some stories and things about all this years together. So if you're intersted AMA.

Won’t name the park or the location but you did have to pay to get in ($80-100 most times) and it had a good amount of rides from full steel and wooden coasters to kid friendly rides and water rides too. I worked on about 80% of the rides during my time. Ask away.

I can bet $10 you know her by name and face and more. It's not an airtight secret. Some of the people I'm closed to know this.

But it's also not a widely known thing.

You'll have to dig deep to find it on the net because mom went to lengths and spend a lot of money to keep it this way so I don't face inconvenience in ky life.

We don't go out together in public. Because of the same reason.

But other than that, we have had a good relationship for most of my growing years.

Ask me anything except her/my name or any hinst that might lead to our ID.

Thanks

First one was in the Faroe Islands, other one was in Norway. The fish in Faroe Islands seemed really healthy and there was never any problem with disease. The fish from the company in Norway was absolutely disgusting with large bacterial and fungal flesh wounds. The fish often smelled like hell and could be laying on the ground for hours, flesh side down, and then be sent off for packaging anyways.

AMA

Edit: I kinda forgot but im here now

Edit 2: It says the AMA is finished but you guys can keep on writing, i will answer as much as possible. Will go to bed soon though, but will keep answering in the morning

Cleaned fish at a family owned fishery. It was a fresh water fish fishery and was an interesting job.

Always been tall, people stop and ask me questions, make comments and take pictures all the time. If you have anything you’d like to ask, this is a safe place where I’ll try to answer as honestly as possible.

Here is the wiki for it, but its a bit incomplete.

Hey,

Doing this AMA to offer my experience and an unbiased view of living during the biggest change in the history of my country.

I tick all the boxes for a minority, a woman, Christian background, non-Arab, LGBTQ+.

Ask me about my daily life, or to clear up misconceptions about what's currently happening.

I work in a forensic mental health and had had a really difficult year following an assault from a patient and an abusive relationship. I was sent to psychology through occupational health and did 6 months of EMDR (eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing). It changed my life and I feel it’s such an unknown therapy and should definitely be more widely used. Please ask me anything :)

I realize it comes off as elitist/smug to say my university is prestiguous, but because of its reputation it attracted both students and professors of a certain personality, creating quite a competitive and unfriendly culture. I have later realized that the quality of the education received there is likely not better (might even be worse) than at universities not considered "prestiguous", and in no way do I belive my degree is better or worth more than one from other universities. I am making this AMA because I have later gained new perspective, and I am hoping it can be helpful to someone who are now feeling the pressure.

Some background:

All the way from elementary to high school I always got easy top grades. I never did any homework, and I missed a ton of classes, to the point where child protective services were almost involved once. But since I kept getting top grades, I got away with quite a lot. I did, however, at one point, have to prove that I was had not cheated on a test. My good grades were also the reason why I wasn't diagnosed and treated for AD HD until my late 20's.

The last year of high school I had some personal issues, and I was having problems performing at school. I failed two mandatory classes in high school - history and religion - and I ended up having to take a gap year to re-take those exams before I was eligible to apply for university.

For my gap year I went to something equivalent to American community college, which was quite low effort and focused more on the social aspects of student life. However, during this year I was able to read up on my failed high school classes, while also not having a gap in my resume.

I eventually passed my classes and could apply for university. I have always enjoyed programming, and my grades were good enough to try for the university known for the best computer science program in the country. I ended up being just at the break off point, and I barely made it in. However, a couple weeks later I found out that on that exact year, the break off point was set lower for females in order to get more women into computer science. At this time my legal gender was still female, so in other words, I had been quotated in because of my legal gender, and would likely not have made it if I was born male. (For reference, I am a transgender man and have since transitioned to male).

My program was 5 years long and resulted in a master's degree in computer science, specializing in software development. The student culture was very competitive, because grades were not based on what score you got on your exams, but rather, which percentile of results you belonged to. So in other words, to get an A, you needed to be top 10%, and this was not easy in a university where everyone got easy A's throughout school so far. This created a culture where helping each other was discouraged, and some people tried to psych each other out or even encourage others to drop out.

I worked my ass off, but my grades still plummeted compared to high school. The teachers were really bad at explaining things, and honestly they didn't seem that interested in lecturing in the first place. I felt like I was all on my own, and it was a harsh realization that I couldn't just cruise through like I had done so far. So from quite early on, I felt like I didn't belong there, that I wasn't good enough, and that I had only gotten into the program because of dumb luck. At one point I considered quitting.

I eventually made it through, but I had to spend an extra year due to failing a couple of classes. I now have a great job, which is both comfortable and fulfilling, and the pay is within the nationwide top 25% for my field, considering my years of experience and the sector I work in. I am currently working on my dream project, and I feel like I am good at my job. I sometimes see colleagues who thrived in university, but may not be the best when working in the field, and I am no longer feeling that impostor syndrome.
