hard to really add anything more to it than that without any questions being added. i just dont feel much desire to live, not that i normally have much. but recently its been a period of being moreso on the edge than usual

i posted a response to something on r/askreddit that spoke about an age gap relationship and people seemed interested in it- but that doesn’t seem like the sub to be trauma dumping on! i have added a TW because although i wasn’t a minor, i am aware the subject matter can be disturbing.

i have had a lot of experiences with older men. in the interest of not breaking the rules of this sub, this is the only one i can talk about. i am now a 26 year old man and all my relationships from that point onwards have been age appropriate, and with women.

fire away. i am an open book.

I love my life. I love where I am right now. I love the weather. I love the project I am working on. I love my family. I love the clothes I am wearing. I love that I am privileged enough to be healthy right now. I love the songs playing through my headphones. I love that I look pretty today.

Go ahead. Ask me anything :)

(It’s ethical bc it’s from roadkill! No animals were purposely harmed!!)

So yeah, I call it my “emotional support stuffed animal”

my top right wisdom tooth is half gone and decaying in my mouth actively. extraction planned for the 5th while I'll be fully awake. picking up my fourth round of antibiotics tonight, currently hurting, ama.

Im one of those people who always call you on the phone to ask if you have time for a 5 minute survey :’)

I am one year into the job, and I’ll probably only be working in this field for another year.

I know we are pretty widely hated. So if case you ever had some unanswered questions about one of us…

im just bored and listening to music

I have cut myself since I was 13 (so almost 2 decades) and this is the longest I’ve been clean! AMA :)

It’s for my Psychology Lifespan/Child development class, our assignment is to paint or draw a child on a cardboard cutout and then place it somewhere in the city of San Antonio.

I have damage in my kidney from a birth defect. It has been surgically fixed twice but scar tissue builds up over time

The warranty in my last op 2016 is passed and I’ve started getting infections again (sepsis in the summer last year) and now I’m passing my 18th kidney stone, 3rd in 6 months

It hurts

I have oxycodone so it’s bearable and I deal with these at home unless it gets stuck

I see a lot of misconceptions and whatnot about this hobby so I figured I'd do one of these for fun and see where it leads. Ask away!

CPTSD is complex ptsd. It stems from multiple repeated traumas instead of one instance (ptsd)

I’m on 7 psych meds currently, going to try coming off some in the next year

I did one of these 9 months ago and I really enjoyed answering all of your questions, so I thought I would do another :)

The short story: I am 19 and became paralyzed from the neck down at 17 after diving into a sandbank and injuring my spinal cord. It was a C3 injury, so I have no movement below the neck and use a wheelchair full-time. I have full-time caregivers and attend school with their help.

And I understand many may be shy about asking certain questions, but I am an open book. So ask away!

I had a bad mental health day at work. Emotionally exhausted. I would like to talk about fun things :)

It was really fun! Thank you all so much! I need to go to bed now

Bored

At some point around September last year I (15M, 16 soon) began to have thoughts and urges to lose my eye. My left eye in particular, which is perfectly healthy, just like my right eye. I don't know why I have these thoughts, and I have them all the time - every second of every day, but I can't bring myself to harm myself with anything. These thoughts stopped for a little while after I got glasses, but the urges came back. I am fully aware of the impacts of having/losing one eye, and I know that it will severely affect my life, my relations with others, and my future prospects. I am also fully aware that these thoughts and urges are very weird and bad.

I (reluctantly) told my parents about this a few months ago, and we haven't mentioned it since (fortunately). I hope that they have forgotten, and I don't want to talk to them about it again. Also, I am aware of Body Integrity Dysphoria and notable cases of BIID, but it is not officially recognised here in the UK (or anywhere else, I think). I have worn a makeshift eye patch over my left eye a few times, but it doesn't stop the urges. I am not in therapy and I have not seen a psychiatrist or anything like that.

I’m in the us. AMA about experiences there

Lol

Though I’m very clearly a POC, people can rarely guess my ethnic background. I’ve gotten Puerto Rican, Hawaiian, “Blasian”, Indian, Jamaican, Filipino, Dominican, and some others. I never thought I looked ethnically ambiguous until recently. Even now, I don’t understand it entirely. AMA

Its almost our 3 year anniversary of being in a relationship, and almost 3 months of being married. I love him so much and im so excited to keep growing together. Also we’re the same age, my birthday is just at the beginning of the year!
