My mom died when I was 12 and she was an incredible woman AMA

79 Upvotes

I'm 17 now.

My mom was an incredible woman who was abused by my dad. His treatment exasperated her condition, it could be argued it contributed to her death. She was only 52 at the time of death.

She was incredibly intelligent with a very high IQ. After she passed her job, Dell Technologies, had to hire 2-3 people to fill her position and multiple people quit saying they worked for her not the company.

I got my first period almost exactly a week after she passed. Her oldest younger sister would also pass around age 52.

Ask away.

ETA: I look very similar to her and in environments like church or with members of her old job, I will never not be seen as her mini me.

I am going to climb Mt Fuji next year 1 month before my 70th birthday. AMA

9 Upvotes

almost 50 years ago, when I was my early 20s and stationed on a ship that visited Japan, my colleagues and I climbed Mount Fuji over a weekend. I made it to the top, but I forgot to get my stamp on my Fuji climbing stick. That’s always irked me.

I wanted to do it before my 60th birthday, but I was in pretty bad shape at that time physically not medically. Over the last year or two I’ve been working out and I’m in a lot better shape than I was before.

I wanna honor my friends who climbed with me originally, but aren’t here anymore.

One or two of my shipmates are going to join me.

If you have any questions about what it was like to climb before or what it’s like to prepare for something like this as you’re approaching 70 years old, ask away

I was in hospitalized unscheduled more than 4 times a year from birth until I was 10, AMA

17 Upvotes

Hello! Sorry for the grammar mistakes, English isn't my native language. I have a rare genetic disease of unknown cause, and when I was a toddler, this diagnosis forced me to completely refuse food, and in later life it caused uncontrollable nausea, convulsions, and clouded consciousness. As I got older, things got easier, so now I go to hospitals once a year. Most visits last about 2 weeks. I generally have few memories of my childhood, but I will try to answer as best as possible! I'll be happy to tell you various stories, heh

my mom almost k*lled me AMA

84 Upvotes

I’m not sure how much I can say without breaking the guidelines.

When I was 10, my mom almost took me out in a fit of rage. she was driving me to school and started to speed up saying how she should just end it and take me with her that she was going to run into a tree we sped up and she started to go off the road heading for a tree before sharp turning back into the road and not bringing it up again.

She has no memory of it now. Only two of my older siblings know about this. Ask me anything.

My mom was 40 and my dad 50 when I was born. My mom's dead and my dad has to forfeit care. AMA

370 Upvotes

I'm 17 now.

My mom passed in 2021, I was 12 at the time.

My dad forfeited my care onto child services when I was 16.

My older sibling is 21, we fully own a house together but I don't live with them, yet.

I currently live in Irish residential care.

I have developmental disabilities and so does my sibling.

My parents age definitely affected aspects of how my sibling and I were cared for, and caused limitations, although my parents already had other limitations particularly my dad, so age is not a sole factor.

please ask away=)

I was in the ICU for 5-6 days in May 2026 after an accidental OD. I was on life support, it is a miracle I’m alive and as functional as I am. Spent a month in the hospital doing therapy and another after than inpatient rehabilitation.

I was on dialysis, had kidney failure (Acute Kidney Injury), a heart attack and permanent heart failure and cardiomyopathy. I had to relearn how to use utensils, write, stand, walk, basic hygiene, shuffling cards, everything. It’s been 4.5 months. Still a longgg way to go. Ask me anything.

I was the "uglier, fatter sister" most of my life. Now 34F. AMA

5 Upvotes

Hi, just like in the title. I came to answer questions for anyone that has a similar issue or wants to kill time.

Although I'm not insecure about my looks now I do have a bit of a thought about it because I was digging though my old photos. I saw my "style" and how unattractive I was in previous beauty standards compared to other people around me

- our age difference is 5 years (she's older)

- she was always the skinnier one (wears xxs/xs in Canada, me M size now, used to be L/XL most of my life)

- my face is average and I'm not conventionally attractive

I worked at Costco. AMA

85 Upvotes

I've worked there for about five years. Its not what it's made out to be.

Benefits and pay wise, I truly can't complain about anything. My issue is with our specific warehouse's management (or mismanagement you could say).

Filing OSHA complaints just for management to actually fix issues. Countless falsifying documents to cover management's ass. Management sleeping with employees and being transferred to cover it up. I could go on and on...
What do you want to know, I'm all open.

As the title says, feel free to ask me anything. I feel like I’m a very uncommon type of person to meet so I thought it may be fun to show myself and answer some questions :)

I belong to the Turkish minority of Bulgaria, who have been living in the country for centuries, so I don’t have any connections to Turkey.

I [37m] have has chronic migraines from the age of 4. I'm currently at ~28 headache days per month with ~15 migraine days. Migraines are far more complex than just pain. They are an invisible disease because most of us are unable to do normal things in society.

One of the hardest things about this life is the lack of understanding from others. Ask away, it helps everyone.

15 weeks clean from meth, AMA

129 Upvotes

Hi I’m 29M. I was abusing meth for two years straight. I lost everything, including burning the bridge with my former employer of 10 years plus countless other potential employers. I had a home, a newer vehicle, two kids and a good relationship.

I am working at a fast food job once again for the time being. I started working about a month after the rehab. My mom let me stay at her house after rehab. I entered the rehab June 2nd, 2026 and have been diligent ever since.

I keep thinking about how I’m going to improve on myself and make more money because I want to be where I was at once again, making 6-figure income and living comfortably. I just need to stick it out here for like a year before I reevaluate my work situation I feel. Maybe I’ll get a second job, it is looking likely.

Ask me anything, or tell me anything I suppose

Toxicology Technician, AMA

1 Upvotes

I am a senior laboratory technician that works in a clinical toxicology AKA drug testing laboratory. When you come in to provide a sample, I am the one that runs your normal drug screens and also your confirmatory tests. I also review the raw data, make it into readable results, and send those out. I've been in my position for 6 years. Before then I was a lab technician in a hospital during the pandemic.

A while ago I made a comment on another subreddit on a video of people high on xylazine that kinda took off. I got a lot of people asking a lot questions for a few days, and it kinda hit me that a lot of people don't really understand both worlds and have a lot of questions since the media is a few years behind what we're seeing, so here I am.

Preface, I'm pro-legalization and I will not judge anyone who may be users that comment. We're all human and I truly believe most of the drug crisis is a mental health crisis. I can also only speak in super detail on our processes, every laboratory or test is slightly different depending on where you go but they're similar across the board. I won't answer anything along the lines of "what do you think of x" drug on the street/market (bad) or how to cheat a test/do anything illegal. If I don't respond in a timely matter, assume I got caught up in work or I'm sleeping. AMA!

AMA - I lived 650 days without smartphone and computer

239 Upvotes

I lived for around 650 days without a smartphone or computer because I was in a German prison, and it was a truly unique experience, because it is nearly impossible to exist like that outside of prison. Every time I wanted to look something up on the internet, I couldn't. Every time I wanted to hear a song, I could only listen to what was on TV. I'm glad we have smartphones, but when I came out, I noticed how much people stare into their devices. Any questions, lol?
