Hey everyone!

I am 27 years old, originally from Islamabad, Pakistan, and currently pursuing my master's degree in history. Based in London after leaving a government job back home.

Taking a break today and was looking to see what this community brings. Ask me anything about moving overseas, life in London, modern South Asian history, or whatever else i.e. on your mind!

Thanks for your attention 😊

Yes, you saw that right, 15. I am a 16 year old female who had a MINOCA at age 15. This is a much rarer form of a heart attack. You don't see many teens survive heart attacks, so it's important to note that it's super rare and still extremely unlikely to happen in younger people.

Hey everyone! 😊 I'm from Iraq, and I'd love to meet people from different parts of the world.

I'm curious about your lives, cultures, funny experiences, dreams, and the little things that make you happy.

Let's skip the boring introductions! 😂 Tell me something interesting about yourself, or ask me anything about life in Iraq.

I was there from 2012-2016 on 10 different occasions, staying anywhere from 30-60 days at a time before getting sent off to another facility like abraxas 1, among others. I was 15 years old when I first went and 19 years old the last time I was there. It got shut down in March of 2021.

I’ve lived in Moscow for 13 years, but when the war started my family and I left the country almost immediately. I have relatives in Kyiv and my dad spent his childhood in Ukraine. Now when I think or say something that does not agree with the current government I feel like I’m committing a thoughtcrime lol despite the fact that visually not much has changed. They even kept the tradition of relaying tiles in the city centre every few months. If anyone here is from Moscow you know what I’m talking about.
So yeah, ask me anything

Hi !
I grew up in the 90s, and I’m a woman.

So, feel free to ask me anything !
Whether it’s about France ( (Whether it’s about my childhood in France in 90’s or life in France today ! ) Judaism, or both ! 😊

I lost my mom when I was 21, my dad then remarried the devil. I did not talk with him for the last 17 years of his life because I decided to eliminate the negativity in my life. It did not both me in the least he died and hoped it would happen sooner than it did. AMA.

Hi everyone,

I'm an indie game developer and making a Cold War themed game called Third Bloc on my own.

Thank you all, I appreciate all the questions, if you want to check the game, play the demo, it's here.

I've driven drunk over a thousand times easily. In a 2- 3 year period, I would do it every single day because I enjoyed it. I have/ had a wildly destructive/ self destructive nature my whole life. The last time I drove drunk and also the only time I've had an accident, police was there within 3 minutes, and I somehow had zero legal repercussions

My location is one of three new “Adventure World” locations, which has a heavy emphasis on play versus games so it’s predominantly play structures. I’m an “attendant” meaning my job is predominantly cleaning, ensuring kids are following the rules, general hospitality such as greeting and conversing with guests, and yes, summoning the rat every 30 minutes, which I do essentially every time he comes out because it’s the aspect of the job that I’m best at and the apathetic teens I work with don’t have the ✨pizzaz✨ for it.

I am also ~30, not that I personally think it matters what job I have at this age. I am on disability for a myriad of reasons so if I want extra money, I need a job that won’t pay me so much that I lose my benefits. The fact that I can work ~20 hours a week part time is not evidence that I am capable of obtaining forklift certification or whatever, this is a very easy gig.

As the title says one of my special interests is horror movies I haven't seen everything but I Consider myself to be pretty knowledgeable so in honor of Halloween coming up feel free to ask me anything you want whether it be recommendations fun facts or anything else you want to know

Context: I got diagnosed in 2017(at the age of 9). 25th January to be specific. I had (stil have but not as frequent)a bad history of stomach aches. So on 25th Jan I felt a weird feeling like a stomach ache but I ignored it and went to school, at school I was feeling weak, really weak, like no strength to even lift a pencil, I somehow made it to the end and while I was on stairs, I collapsed then teacher panicked, ran towards me, picked me up, gave me water and all. Then sent me home with a teacher. So at home I couldn't climb the stairs as I was feeling weak. After the help of my family Im finally on my bed but it was weird, so my grandparents took me to a public hospital nearby in the evening and there the doc gave me some injection (don't remember what) I was kind of fine and then on the next day when I jumped from the bed, I fell cause my legs weren't working, then family rushed and took me to a hospital, there doc checked me gave me ivig treatment then I got shifted to a better hospital after 2 days, there I again got ivig treatment while I was on ventilator and then after 8 days I again shifted to another hospital, there I was on ventilator, I got 2 endoscopies cause at that time I had pneumonia, my right lung was sticking to my left lung. The Movement of my whole body was gone, I was only able to move my neck and above my neck, then one day, I was declared dead by the docs (idk it was what they thought or they jumped on the conclusion way too quickly) because after few chest compressions I was back, then I used to get 4-5 blood tests everyday, so I had to get some blood from the blood bank tok cause of blood deficiency, then I got a tracheostomy and after everything, from Jan 25 2017, I started walking in August 2017 and without support, I think it was sep or oct of 2017 and now it's been like 9 years??? I passed my school, and I'm gonna start uni in a couple of months. Everything is fine, just have foot drop. Anyways, thank you for reading the whole para and if u have any questions about facing physical problems, mental. How my family treated me, how it was to go back to school after a year. Just ask!!!!

Edit- so I'm posting it again idk why ig awareness? Ppl still don't know about GBS. So just ask!!!. I'll reply to all of them!!

AMA, 23m, Igot hypermobility in my knees and I have a stoma.

I am 23m from the UK, I got my hypermobility diagnosis when I was about 16.5 years old and I got my stoma when I was about 18.

I have dislocated my left knee 3 times in a span of about 22 months and for my first 18 years I was completely incontinent. AMA

24 hours of labour, no meds, no epidural and... no pain. Hearing other experiences (both from friends and online) seems like mine was a pretty rare experience so here I am! Ask away! (Sorry for the mistakes, english is not my first language)

I am in my second year of highschool (sophomore year) and I live with multiple disabilities including cerebral palsy, nail patella syndrome, ADHD, and various psychiatric disorders. Ask me anything as long as it is appropriate.

Hi. I am a full-time content creator who makes a living doing social media. My main platform is TikTok where I have almost two and a half million followers. I’ve been making a living from social media for a couple years now.

Ask me anything!

In my early twenties, I fell down an accidental path of exotic animal; rescuing. It started with one bearded dragon when i was working at a pet store, and within the year i was renting a business building and had snakes, lizards, birds, insects, you name it. I even got into volunteer work with alligators during the time. AMA.

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!

Feel free to ask me about daily life, driving, dress codes, the food, social norms, or what's changed for women here in the last few years. I'm also happy to talk about the culture, the misconceptions people back home have, and what's surprised me most. If you've always wondered about something about Saudi Arabia, ask away.

I'm a 19-year-old guy. I was born with this condition, and I stopped walking at 13. Now I'm losing movement in my arms, but I'm trying to stay positive. I'll answer any questions or concerns. Greetings!

Hello everyone! I'm from Japan and I'm here to answer your questions. I have been studying English for four years, and I have also traveled to the UK and New Zealand. Feel free to ask me anything about Japanese culture, daily life, food, or whatever you're curious about! I'm looking forward to sharing my experiences and learning more about your perspectives as well.

AMA, controversial or not. Ive also travelled extensively so even ask about that if you must.

Also really into scottish history. So yeah just ask me anything that comes to mind.

Not a fan of football or sports really though.

I’m 17F and I quit dancing after 10 years. I started when I was 6 and did competitive hip hop and breakdancing. I apent most of my childhood dancing and competing, my life was basically school, dance, sleeping I quit for good last year, so it’s been a year since I stopped

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.

Yea so I got diagnosed with Sjogren’s syndrome at 19 years old (it is most common in 40-50 year olds) and I got diagnosed with fibromyalgia in January (it is usually diagnosed in 30-50 year olds). Hyperhidrosis I’ve had for a few years. Sjogren’s syndrome is a not so known autoimmune disease but the second most common rheumatic inflammatori autoimmune disease.
