About 7.5 years ago, I (27F) started losing the ability to eat and drink. Now my entire digestive tract is partially paralyzed. I relied on a feeding tube for several years, and then last year I got worse and stopped tolerating feeds, and had to switch to Total Parenteral Nutrition -- TPN, or IV nutrition that goes straight into your bloodstream. AMA if you'd like :)

PS -- I also have a lot of chronic fatigue and sometimes sleep for several hours at once, so I may not respond to comments immediately, but I will get to them!

Hello all,

I 26m had my last planned chemotherapy today. Hopefully the coming pet scan confirms I am in remission.

I have high hopes that I will be remission but I keep room for doubt, about 5%. I am diagnosed with stage 4 hodgkin's lymphoma.

Please ask anything you like relating/revolving to my diagnosis or my state of being with it. It can be more than just what lead up to it, like my day to day.

Hey Reddit,

A while back, I was in a serious car accident and actually flatlined for about a minute. Somehow, I made it back, but I haven’t been the same person since.
..Before the accident, I was the kind of guy who could walk into a room and get noticed without even trying. I had confidence, a certain swagger, and honestly, life felt a lot easier back then. I didn’t really have to think about how people saw me or whether I was good enough.

Now, I feel like the complete opposite. I’m just an ordinary guy trying to figure out who I am and where I fit in. I mean, sometimes, I even feel like people look at me differently than they used to.

…One of the hardest things to deal with has been the change in attention I get from women. Before, it felt like something that happened naturally. Now, I find myself missing that feeling and sometimes wondering what happened to the guy I used to be. It’s a weird thing to admit, but losing that confidence has affected me more than I ever expected.

Like, the accident didn’t just change my body; It changed my mind, my outlook on life, my confidence, and pretty much my entire sense of identity. Surviving something that serious should feel like a blessing, and in many ways, it is, but there’s also a part of me that feels like I lost the person I was supposed to become.
I’ve also been through my fair share of brain and body surgeries, so there’s a whole other side to the story.

I’m still trying to figure things out and come to terms with how much my life has changed.
So, Reddit, ask me anything. About the accident, the surgeries, what it’s like to live with the aftermath, or how something like this can change the way you see yourself and the world.

Edit: My buddy and I were about to go bowling when my ex asked me to bring her some rubbing alcohol, so I took the detour and dropped it off for her.

I'm an advanced practice Registered Nurse with PTSD, MDD and GAD. I had EMDR to treat PTSD symptoms related to childhood trauma. I'm extremely sceptical when it comes to these sort of treatments but this actually worked. AMA

I hit rock bottom at 27 during lockdown, convinced my body was broken and self-diagnosing biological illness. In my vulnerability, I fell very deeply into the virus fear campaign. My father, a wise ex-commando, became my therapist and taught me how fear works and how the mind can make you sick through psychosomatic disorder. That lesson flipped on me: once I seen fear as a weapon, I couldn't unsee it in the pandemic narrative. I sank into the conspiracy world, clashing with family just as my father fell gravely ill. I went on a chaotic journey of self-discovery, as my dog just about stopped me from taking retribution too far...

Decided to do one of these again! Here’s a bit of context: I was born in Canada to Eastern European immigrant parents and moved to Finland when I was 25 to be with my now husband. We have a small hobby farm that we bought early this year and are slowly building it up. I previously lived in much more populated areas, though have always involved myself in rural life personally and professionally since I knew I wanted this lifestyle as early as 5 years old. AMA!

I am from Siaya, Kogello, a village in Kenya. We are neighbors with the Obama's his late grandma, separated by a fence, step-brother Malik and step-sister Auma. It is also the place where Obama snr was buried. (We don't bury in graveyards). We grew up as a community and would visit and call her grandma when we were kids but after Barrack became Senator in 08, they brought security and the visits lessened. His step-bro lives across the road and sister a few meters from our ancestral home. She helped us set up our community organisation which is involved with greening the environment and poverty eradication in the area and is my dad's childhood friend. What would you like to know?

During perestroika, I was a teenager, and everything that happened here seemed cool and hopeful. But with the advent of the 90s, everything turned into hell. I had to work hard to feed myself and communicate with disgusting people. Now I'm not starving like before, but I'm so disappointed in these people that I simply cut ties with everyone and want nothing to do with them.

I can hear sounds, even small sounds, but I can't understand speech. I had to learn English though fingerspelling and reading. I didn't qualify for deaf school so my mother taught me. The doctors and educators just thought I was intellectually disabled but I am far from that. I am intelligent and social. I just can't hear and understand speech. A few years ago I found the Deaf community and am conversational in ASL. My life is normal as long as I don't have to deal with hearing people.

back in the golden days of instagram fanpages i had a fanpage that was massive. people made fanpages for ME. i was a name in the fandom. and then i sold the fanpage and moved on, and everyone thought i was dead lmao. anyways ama!!

For background, I work in a mid sized city in the largest center in the state. We dispatch and take calls for police, fire, and EMS for a majority of the county. The system we use to enter calls is called CAD which stands for computer aided dispatch, and once the call taker submits a call it can be viewed and updated by anyone in the room and responders can see calls and any updated comments in real time. AMA!

I love my job, it’s a field I never expected to be in but I don’t think I’ll find myself switching careers anytime soon. There are definitely a lot of assumptions and quite a bit of stigma towards the women I work with, I wish people could spend a day in my shoes to see what the environment is really like. AMA!

Im a truck driver in the UK have been for a few years doing a range of different jobs and deliveries. There's a huge amount of laws and regulations in place to make out job safer/harder. If you have any questions about it or thinking about doing it yourself feel free to ask!

I first posted on Reddit after shaving my legs first time. It was a real game changer for the fem sensation.

I have probably dressed on and off for decades. As a kid I was occasionally dressed up ah home and later recalled loving the feeling of satin and silk.

Then later I would try items on when I could.
I always thought I was pretty much alone until I found all the Reddits.

Hi hi. I’ve worked in 2 different haunted houses. I started when I was in junior high for a year. And now I’ve been working at a different one for 2 years. The first haunt I worked at was a health code violation in many ways and the new one I work at is a lot better and has a way better owner lol. I have lots or stories to tell.

I won't specify the exact one, but I'm sure anyone that knows, knows that Australian grocery stores are run by a duopoly. I have worked across almost all departments, worked through COVID, moved stores twice, been both TM and in management, and seen a lot of changes. AMA
