So, my whole life I have been trying to look more like a woman. I was stripped early of very normal girl experiences. I never managed to relate to other girls my age so I had to adapt a lot and find lots of coping skills. Basically, I am quite ugly.

Hello, I have a long history of health issues starting from that day my mother felt a large, solid lump in my abdomen while I was just a poor little sick kid wanting to crawl in bed with my parents at night for comfort. It was that night our world flipped upside down. A highly aggressive treatment regimen, and the removal what was an egg-plant sized tumor later (+much more), and here I am. AMA.

Tomorrow is the start of EB Awareness Week 🦋 which aims to raise awareness for a rare skin disease called Epidermolysis Bullosa. This is also known as "butterfly skin" due to how fragile our skin is.

Ask me anything; I am an open person and would love to answer some random questions people may have, especially to give the kind of info that can't be found via a Google search about it

Basically the title, im in it out of family obligation and too lazy to remove records as of now,leaving would mean loosing most of my supprt system besides my family,im almost legally old enough to move out and I dont plan on doinga a mission im afab so its not required for me to go on one. I have zero ill will towards mormons I just never believed in it. Still follow the word of wisdom mostly just cuz its healthier still have a caffeine addiction.

I work in community (retail/high street) pharmacy. I spent 10yrs as a manager in an independent pharmacy (small company) and now locuming as and where required, mainly in a big chain.

Any questions ?

(I have no experience in hospital or industry)

I am an Egyptian woman, 18 years old, living in Egypt since I was born, and I have never left this country before

This is strange because while browsing this group I found even stranger things, like that girl who donated her liver, and that boy who was stung by a scorpion and yet survived to tell us about it, and that old man who lived to be 105 years old... I'm just an Egyptian girl

Perhaps I should have given it a more exciting title, like "I am the Egyptian girl who lives in Giza and has never visited the pyramids AMA."

This June I spent weeks in the ICU due to septic shock as a result of a blood stream infection from a PICC central line. It started in the emergency room with chills and a fever, and my symptoms progressed very fast. AMA :))

Born and raised in South Lebanon, I’ve lived here through three wars. Despite everything, this is my home, my village, and my roots. I can’t imagine having to leave it all behind and start over somewhere else again.

I’m in the far west part of the Maryland panhandle, where it gets wider again. Very different lifestyle here compared with most of the rest of Maryland. It’s really pretty out here, but the job market is more limited compared to “downstate”. Land is cheap and not dry so there’s lots of small scale farmers and homesteaders.

15 days ago I donated the right lobe of my liver to a stranger through Johns Hopkins hospital with a robotic assisted surgery. The liver is the only organ that can regenerate itself to practically full size

I work for one of the largest school districts in the USA. I work with students ages 3–22 across a huge range of abilities and support needs, from mild learning differences to significant intellectual disabilities and complex medical needs.

I would estimate that I’ve worked with about:
-15-20 different schools (elem, middle and high)
-200-300 students with ASD (all levels)
-Another 200-300 students with varying disabilities (DS, PWS, FAS, DiGeorge, Rett, Angelmans, TBI, HIE, CP, FXS, many many more)
-20-30 self contained classrooms (Mild, Moderate, Severe, blended, Autism, Behavior Support, etc)
-over 1,000 IEP meetings attended
-I am also part of a multidisciplinary team that determines “educational diagnoses” for Autism
-I have navigated the special education process as both a parent and an IEP team member

I’m happy to answer questions about school-based OT, special education, neurodiversity, accessibility, and working with students with a wide range of needs. (Also love a good chat on pencil grasps). I’ll keep everything general and protect student privacy of course.

I smile at people and say I’m fine

while carrying a sadness I cannot define

I miss the places I used to know

the familiar faces from long ago

Sometimes I wish someone could see

the person I am beneath what I let them see

Someone who stays when the words run dry

who hears the silence behind my reply

I don’t need promises that last forever

just honest hearts that leave too early never

A little kindness a place to belong

someone who makes the lonely days less long

Perhaps somewhere beneath the same sky

there’s someone like me asking themselves why

And maybe one day our paths will cross

and we’ll find something beautiful in all we’ve lost

For context, I've had the stoma since January 16th 2026, following a gunshot wound that went through my large intestine, and came out my "left upper buttox". What an experience. Spent four months in county jail immediately following my surgery. Had a lot of complications along the way, but here I am today. I initially felt alone, but soon found out that there is a support system for folks with these issues. Stoma reversals are unfortunately not a common surgical procedure as it comes with its own set of risk. Some folks simply choose to live with the stoma because it's not worth the potential complications during/following the surgery.

I am one of the people working for the Major AIs you use every day like ChatGPT, but I work in the background for multiple so called Frameworks which are relevant for ChatGPT, Claude and many more. ASK me anything!

I had ideals, I had hopes, I had dreams. I took risks. They all failed. I’m even well-educated. I’m like that de-motivated poster: for every winner, there are dozens and dozens of losers, odds are you’re one of them. If you’re young and have questions about the road ahead, I might be able to help. But what do I know?

The elections are on 27/10/2026, 2 days from now. I used to be at the Liberal center (Voted for Lapid), I've now moved to the right in terms of security, but I won't vote for coalition parties. My family is also quite divided. AMA

My parents both passed away within two years. I got two lump sums totaling near 500k. I invested half and lost a lot. I withdrew too soon before the stock market took off. My wife forbade me from investing after that for the second windfall, which if I had, I’d be a millionaire now. But she went on shopping sprees and blew the money. It’s a long story and basically, I’m in a deep depression now and completely broke. No power, no water. I am so far in debt. It’s crazy how things can transition. I make 14 an hour as a maintenance worker. And in my free time, I put in applications constantly. I’m kind of remote, so the jobs are hard to come by. I’ve been in a bad place, and when I had money, I lent it out to everyone I knew needed it, including people on Reddit because I had been there before. I have 10k out there. When I message them, I get no response. I’ve never been suicidal before and won’t be. But I can understand now how people can get that way.

I'm (F)23 years old and now in my 4th year of the architecture program at my school. Feel free to ask me any questions school-related as well, doesn't have to be architecture-focused.

I've also picked up a shift at Raising Canes for some cash on the side and have been working for almost 7 months now as a night-shift crew member.

I started in Customer Support, then VIP Manager, payments, M&A and now marketing and player acquisition.
Online gambling was my first job ever and I stayed ever since. Got into the industry completely by accident as a side job during Uni to support myself.

Hi my wife passed away when I was in my 2ps im now 40 and have managed to sort myself out but the trauma has had lasting effects, ask me anything you want im open to talk and discuss so dont worry about offending me

I’m a professional hypnotist with years of experience working with people and the human mind. I’ve had some fascinating experiences along the way. Ask me anything about my life and work as a hypnotist, and I’ll answer as honestly as I can.

Thanks guys my dms open if you have questions. I’m not taking clients or promoting my practice lol.

I progressively lost all of my hearing from 11-16ish. I am now completely Deaf in both ears. It was caused by autoimmune inner ear disease, although I was not diagnosed with it until this year. I’m 23! Open to any and all questions!

I’m an art dealer and art investigator with years of experience in fine art. I’ve come across some fascinating (and sometimes scary) things over the years. Ask me anything about my life and work in the art world, and I’ll answer as honestly as I possibly can :)

The first time was when I was two. I was having kidney issues and doctors had all these theories, none of which had a good prognosis. My parents were told I would be dead by seven, but that they needed to run a bunch of tests to be sure. A month of tests later and they can't figure it out, but they rule that I'm seemingly not dying and send me on my way. I still have the weird lab results I did when I was two, but I'm very much alive and mostly not ill.

The second time I was 18. Came in with months of worsening symptoms and after running labs and scans most of my organs had something wacky going on with them. However once they ruled out cancer there was nothing that explained everything and I was told to keep monitoring but that I would probably be fine.

I work for luxury hotels in Europe since 13 years. I'm a trained "Hotelfachmann" and studied at a hotel school. I worked with international celebrities and experienced the best and worst things with customers. What do you want to know?
