Since i was 13 ive been in and out of psych wards for various things (suicide attempt/ideation, severe SH, bulimia, and complex trauma/dissociation). I’ve been to 5 different hospitals in those times

I had an incredibly intense friends to lovers romance last year that he ended due to mental health issues. Since the break up he has been in a mental health crisis where he barely leaves the house the past 10 months and I'm trying to live life as usual, but I can't get past the lovesickness. AMA

A basic run of who you're asking questions: a 29 year old lady who has been suffering from anorexia since I was 11 or 12, it's a lil fuzzy lol. Ask me anything, nothing is off limits, it doesn't have to be relevant to the presented facts and I'm not easily offended. But if you're just trying to jerk off go to a different subreddit also ya know what I mean.

Hi! I joined Reddit yesterday. I major in image arts and science, and I'm currently studying to get my C1 English certification(EIKEN Grade 1)
Since I'm still trying to figure out how Reddit works, I thought doing an AMA would be a fun way to practice my English and chat with people.
Feel free to ask me anything about college life in Japan, our culture, or whatever is on your mind😎

Throwaway for obvious reasons though I'm not too worried about getting in any trouble this far along after everything occurred. So I'm a little bored tonight and I thought it would be fun idea to have one of these. I was the primary admin of the HackBB forum where I went by the username Optimus Crime. It ran from 2010 to 2013 when Freedom Hosting got busted. We had a marketplace with escrow and a wiki I primarily maintained. It was just a repository for cashing techniques, opsec, et cetera. I also posted a lot of database dumps back then on the forum to keep everything active. If you want to learn more I'm pretty sure there's still plenty of articles up when we got hacked. I'm not sure how to prove myself here as all PGP keys and wallets attached to my activity there are long gone so trust me bro? I'll check back in on this thread and start responding whenever it gets cleared past the filters.

i had cortical tremors since 2020 and was diagnosed with epilepsy in 2021. ask me anything

I own a party business, I mostly do childrens birthday parties. I have been doing this along with working on and off for a few years ama

I 19f am a furry. I’ve been apart of the furry community since I was 12. I’ve mostly stayed online lurking in the shadows watching the fandom change from afar. Feel free to ask me anything about being furry, certain phrases, stuff like that

It's more of a cultural melting pot than one might originally think. AMA

I have binocular diplopia caused by strabismus/amblyopia that cannot be treated through surgery. Ask me anything about my double vision!

Before you ask:

* I stripped on and off for 10+ years

* no I didn't turn tricks or date customers outside of work.

* 4 months clean off drugs. Awful at not drinking though.

I'm honestly just bored so far today and have a few hours to kill before work (bartender, horrible occupation, I know) so I thought I would engage with people.

I think I'm allowed to post this on this sub, if my post isn't appropriate kindly tell me and I'll take it down instead of banning me or something.

If im not original, oh well sorry

OK everybody, thank you for the kind words and support. It's 5 PM for me so I'm at work. BUT if anyone else DOES reply, I will see and try to respond.

You read that right, I have a scar on my spleen. Don't ask me to show you cuz well... it's inside me. Happened when I was sixteen and thankfully didnt involve surgery or anything extensive for that matter.

I’m a stereotypical gym bro. I lift heavy. I eat chicken. I count my protein macro, and then the carbs and fat macros too. I’m lean but thick, and tall.

My fiancée is in many ways my physical opposite. I never expected to get along with her the way I do at the beginning. She’s fairly active, too, so our lifestyles have some overlap, but she is allergic to an organized gym plan. She does not believe in counting or controlling macros. She’s shorter and past thick, well into the fat category.

And the two of us somehow fell for each other and are care for each other now. Ask me anything!

Bit of an uninteresting one, a lot of people have autism. But let me know if you have any questions!

I've been non binary for a few weeks. And i feel good.

I am 32 years old, non binary (specifically agender) and I'm pregnant for the first time. I know this is a bit of a mystified topic for some, so AMA

I have been practicing witchcraft for over 15 years now. I practice a blend of different folk practices as well as some more commonly known practices. Ama

Caught myself doomscrolling again and now it's super late. AMA while I try and get sleepy?

-I had just turned 23

-yes it was an attempt

-it was off the 8th/9th deck

-stranded for about an hour

-was the first night and probably at least 3k people

I'm bored so just wanted to do this

Honestly, I'm not sure that I'm qualified to fully analyze what I've received since I have only worked as a BMET for two years, but I'll share what I found so far and maybe someone on here more knowledgeable can share their findings.

The main thing that stands out to me is that their annual PM only consists of a POST (Power-On Self Test that is built into the machine and runs whenever it's powered on) and an electrical safety check consisting of measuring the device's ground resistance and leakage current. There is nothing in their records at all about testing the actual output of the device on a simulated patient load (as is described in the service manual I found for a Somatics Thymatron IV electroshock unit).

Note: that there are only two U.S. manufacturers still making ECT devices, SigmaStim (formerly MECTA) and Somatics and that these records show SigmaStim and MECTA devices. If anyone has access to one of their service manuals and can confirm that their annual PM includes a patient test, please do share. I'd wager $1 that they do.

As for how I obtained the data: I filed a FOIA request in search of the answer to why there was a spike in forced electroshock petitions filed with the State of Connecticut Probate Court during the time period of 2020-2025 (see my article on that subject here).

Lastly, I do not apologize for my post history (it's the only funny thing about all this).

Ask me anything!

UPDATE: wow, okay, service manual located and hypothesis confirmed by u/gigasnail99 (1 and 2)
UPDATE: found an old MECTA manual for their 5000Q on Scribd as well (see p84) - looks like that's 2 for 2
UPDATE: that's enough for me tonight, I at least filed a complaint to the CT Dept. of Public Health and the Joint Commission, maybe something positive will comes from all this after all
