Welcome to /r/AMA!

I’m scared for the future right now and I know a lot of others are as well so I wanted to offer my knowledge and experience as a resource.

I worked for Planned Parenthood and then a private practice abortion provider in the US. Areas of expertise include birth control, emergency contraception, STIs and abortion care. I can’t give medical advice but I can answer questions and try to alleviate fears. Feel free to message me if you prefer privacy 💜

Sometimes I feel like I should make my life into a movie or book because it’s certainly been entertaining, just haven’t had anyone to share my story with lol.

Soooo basically, you saw the title. I come from a very traditional home with really anything that comes to mind when you think “orthodox Jew” probably would’ve applied to my family and community. Although my parents sent me to really strict religious schools, our family wasn’t AS religious like for example we had technology, and my dad doesn’t wear a shtreimel (big fur donut hat).

I got kicked out of almost every one of the schools they sent me to because of my blasphemy and dissent and now I go to this lowkey kinda hipster liberal school where half the school are all alternative freaks like me. Listening to punk and going to shows have been my refuge from the constraints of my community but it was EXTREMELY hard to integrate into the secular world and it still kind of is. The world is so much more confusing and complex than I could’ve ever even fathomed it to be when I was younger.

There’s a lot of context for my story so let’s unravel the lore now shall we? Ask me anything! :)

I was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2022. I was on antipsychotics and it only gave me side effects so I'm off it. I actually had almost no symptoms the last year in 2023. Now I relapsed so I can't cure from this.

Ask me any questions.

I'm an Ohio native (lived here my whole life) who got married to a "Boricua" about a year ago. She found me online, but I was looking for someone nearby. It took me a year before I made the next move and gave her my phone number. The rest is history. Ask me anything!

(25 M) never been to a concert. AMA 🥲✌️

I'm currently on a lyft ride home and I'd live to get the drivers number without being weird about it

I (18M) was born and raised in a North African country. During my sophomore year of high school, I won a scholarship to go on an exchange year in the US. I was placed with a host family in the Midwest and went to high school there.

AMA!

Title pretty much sums it up.

In 2018 I've learned that anything I post on social media can be used against me by anyone who feels the other way. That includes denying employment, denying entrance to a certain country, etc. I was not posting any controversial stuff on social media, I just did not wanted to give anyone such power over me. So I've deleted all my social media accounts permanently and never used them since.

I don't use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tiktok, Snapchat or any similar major social media.

I use messaging applications as a substitute for texting and calling to connect friends and family away. I use Linkedin for applying jobs and talking with recruiters.

Well I use Reddit sometimes (not daily though), you can decide if it's a major social media or not.

Now I'm mid 20s and I live a happy life, not feeling any emptiness or feeling of missing out. The more time passes, the more I'm confident with my decision.

I'm 40, married, live in a suburban housing community, work in middle management ar a large corporation, play golf, and enjoy lawncare. Ask me anything.

Thank you all! I now must go to the grocery store and start on my Saturday chores.

As the title says, ask anything you want.

"Sometimes known as daydreaming disorder, maladaptive daydreaming describes a condition where a person regularly experiences daydreams that are intense and highly distracting- so distracting, in fact, that the person may stop engaging with the task or people in front of them. These daydreams may be triggered by real-life events or stimuli, such as a noise, smell, conversation topic, or movie. Maladaptive dreamers may dissociate from reality to absorb themselves completely in their daydream and may unknowingly act out the behavior or speak the dialogue of characters in their daydream. The content of daydreams can be richly detailed and fantastical, while others feature an idealized version of the daydreamer. Maladaptive daydreaming may develop as a coping strategy in response to trauma, as the inner world may feel safer than the experience happening outside."

I have had this condition since I was 8 and I am now 21F. I've had a fairly nice childhood, much better than my peers did. I have been officially diagnosed by my therapist this year, 4 years after I found out that this isn't normal and is actually a condition. I want more people to know about this because it can be very damaging and mentally exhausting, even though in its essence, it's a relatively safer coping mechanism.

I'm a Rope access technician, and someone on Instagram suggested I do an AMA, so here I am!

Hey all, I created a platform to create web pages pretty easily and I thought what better way to show it off by creating some for free for you with your requirements! It's still a prototype but can already create some fun things. So ask away!

Let me know what you need and I will try to reply to all comments with the url (and for the fun, even if it's not directly giving website requirements, comment "lol" and I will make a website for it)

Thanks all for the requests! If any is interested about this platform feel free to DM me for a free account
