Foreigner living in Germany - Ask Me Anything

0 Upvotes

I moved to Germany over 5 years ago and settled in Munich, many covid restrictions were still in place. I came for work and been working ever since with the same company. Making new friends in my late 20s, trying to befriend Germans and learning a new language. It's been a rollercoaster of emotions that caused me anxiety, stress, loneliness, desperation and emotional dryness with happiness and peace inbetween.

The festival stuff was fun. The other clientele makes things interesting. And my personal life story ties it all together into one I hope to have some impact to make the world a better place with.

I could talk at length about a variety of topics, but for this one I’d like to talk most about what it was like running a crew of land pirates.

I did one of these like four or five years ago, and didn't have a very reliable phone/internet connection at the time, so I couldn't follow thru with it the way I would have really liked.

But yes, as the title says, im a bona-fide for better or worse modern American Hobo in every sense of the word. The full Monty. Eating out of dumpsters, playing music on every street corner in the country, and of course, using every single less than legal mode of free transportation there is, mainly frieght trains.

There was a very low chance of survival because it happened out of a hospital setting without any medics nearby. Everyone says I’m strong for surviving but I didn’t do anything at all, all I remember was going to sleep, was out for 3 months but in my head it was 3 hours later. Ask me anything (AMA)

I Overcame severe Agoraphobia- AMA!

23 Upvotes

There was a point in my life I did not leave my house unless it was for school or work. If I shopped it was only with my mom & I didn’t like to be alone. After many years with the help of my best friend who is old enough to be my second mom I now enjoy leaving my home, meeting other family & friends, travel, and have gotten a lot better about meeting strangers & being able to converse with them. I am now making steps towards living independently in my own apartment. I used to have severe physical symptoms of my anxiety that made me very sick & now I almost never do.

I am a human fainting goat. AMA!

55 Upvotes

Hello all! I'm 26F, and I have the same genetic condition that causes fainting goats to "faint".

It's called Myotonia Congenita, a rare muscular disorder affecting approximately 1 in 100,000 people. For comparison, your lifetime odds of being struck by lightning in the US are about 1 in 15,300!

With that said, neither I nor the goats actually lose conciousness when we fall. Myotonia Congenita is a muscular channelopathy, meaning the chloride channels in my skeletal muscles don't function properly. This interferes with the electrical signals that control muscle relaxation, causing my muscles to stiffen or temporarily lock up after contracting.

The condition can also cause unusually large muscles that develop with relatively little effort, despite sometimes experiencing profound muscle weakness. Similar forms of myotonia have been observed in dogs, cats, and of course, goats! There are also paralytic and dystrophic variants found in humans.

I was diagnosed at 19 via genetic testing. I am happy to answer any questions about my condition, it's effects on ny everyday life, and what it's like being a human fainting goat!

I'm 29 Male and I might have to have a keratoconus surgery. AMA

0 Upvotes

Like the title says. I'm 29 Male and I might have to have keratoconus surgery. My eye doctor is going to give me a commendation to see a specialist and go from there. I have looked up some things about it.

Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition where the clear front window of the eye (cornea) thins and bulges outward into an irregular cone shape.

Symptoms

Blurred and distorted vision (straight lines appear wavy)

Increased sensitivity to light and glare (photophobia)

Halos or ghosting around lights, especially at night

Frequent changes in eyeglass or contact lens prescriptions

Sudden vision worsens if a corneal swelling (hydrops) occurs.
