I regularly sleep 16+ hours, AMA

Upvotes

I am 27 year old female. I have been evaluated for narcolepsy and other sleep disorders and my results have been clear. In the past two years I have found that I regularly sleep around 16 hours at a time. Example- wake up at 7am on a normal day, go to sleep around 10pm that evening and I would not wake up until 2-3pm the following day. Sometimes it is more, but it’s pretty consistently 16 hours. My longest though was 26 hours.

What do you think when you look at a boy paralyzed from the neck down? Ask me anything you want.

Upvotes

I am a 19-year-old boy, I am quadriplegic, although I have function in my arms my fingers do not work, many times when I leave home many people treat me with pity, Or I hear comments like "poor thing, he's disabled," "he understands what I'm saying," "he's going to recover," and many other doubts, so in this AMA you can ask me any questions you have. Because many people don't really understand this disability I'd like to know what you think when you see a boy with this disability!

Survivor of meningitis AMA

Upvotes

I 19F had meningitis earlier this year, and I realized that most of my age group does not know how serious meningitis is and why the vaccine is mandatory (and honestly I didn’t either lol)! I was in the hospital for a month, and missed my whole second semester of freshman year of college.

In 2025 we visited 6 countries, 12 cities, travelled over 14,000km, spent 231 days house and pet sitting. AMA about the pet sitting lifestyle.

Upvotes

We have done AMAs before and enjoy answering your questions.

We're a retired couple in our 60s who spend much of the year travelling through Europe and further afield. Rather than paying for hotels or Airbnbs, we stay in people's homes and look after their pets while they're away.

Over the last 12 months we've estimated that we've saved more than €30,000 in accommodation costs alone. We've cared for dogs, cats, chickens and homes in multiple countries, explored places we would never have otherwise visited, and built a lifestyle around slow travel and trusted house sitting.

Ask us anything about finding sits, getting selected, the costs involved, the best and worst experiences, travelling in retirement, or whether house sitting is really as good as it sounds. AMA!

AMA I was a ktown karaoke hostess for a two weeks recently

Upvotes

There are always posts asking about LA's koreatown karaoke hostessing and whether anyone's ever done it. Most of the replies are by people who did it like 10 years ago and have outdated information. I was a hostess a few months ago and stopped because it wasn't for me. I'll be 100% open and honest- and also, it's technically supposed to be "legal" because they're posted publicly but obviously the "real" info isn't in those job postings.

I have a phobia of sprouting vegetables AMA

As the title states, I am afraid of sprouting vegetables. I do not use the word phobia lightly, but in this context I believe it is fitting as this is something that deeply upsets me. I’ve had this aversion for decades now.

i grew up in a stage 5 hoarder house AMA

Upvotes

little backstory: my house had always accumulated a lot of different things growing up, but around 12 years old it became disgusting. i dropped out of school during christmas break of 8th grade, unwillingly. my mother took me out and i never went back. she eventually stopped coming home, so i lived by myself from the ages of 13-15. i never had the habit of cleaning up at that age, trash would pile and pile. you could not see the floor from any of the rooms in my house. i also had alot of cats who would keep reproducing with eachother. when i had left my home i had 33 incest cats i was taking care of by myself. i lived in a very small town, population was around 160. the broken windows, trash and overgrown weeds outside never made anyone alarmed. most rooms i was scared to enter because the broken windows let in all kinds of bugs. especially the bedrooms, so i slept on a tiny couch and my cats would keep me warm. i lived in the middle of the desert so i didnt have reception most the time. i had no tvs. or working water alot. i couldnt shower, or wash my clothes. i only made food with a microwave. there was feces and cat pee everywhere. my family knew the conditions i was living in.
ive never talked to anyone about this it seems so normal to me, its hard to find others who have lived in the same conditions.

I can’t remember the exact day. It was probably longer than 2 years but I want to be generous. Started either right after or a little before my (verbal/mentally abusive) ex gf ended our relationship. It seems kind of lame but that’s the truth. They’re over now.

Upvotes

So this came up in a conversation recently and the amount of questions people had made me realize not many have talked to someone who went through this.

Back in 2020 I was in a coma for 8 days. Woke up, recovered, still here typing this.

People usually ask if I dreamt anything, if I could hear people talking, what waking up felt like, all that. Happy to answer whatever. Ask away.

I've moved to Japan by the age of 13, AMA

Upvotes

I am half Japanese, but I was born and raised in Brazil until I was 12/13. My parents came to Japan before me, and I spent a year living with other family members while we were waiting for my visa to be accepted.
After it got accepted, I took my first international flight alone, at 13, to a completely new country.
I am here to answer anything you want to know about learning a new language & living in Japan from a young age, or living in Japan in general, since I'm on my 20s, and living alone for the past 4 years.
I have lived in big cities, as well as countryside, and have graduated high school here, so I can answer about those topics too.
(You can ask about anything else too, I will answer)

I used to be obese and I’m now addicted to bodybuilding. AMA!

Upvotes

I (26M) used to weigh over 300lbs at 5’6 3 years ago. I used to never leave the house and was either eating, sleeping, gaming or watching anime almost the entire day. Now, I’m addicted to the gym and currently bulking and am 90kg at ~18%bf .

I used to constantly weigh around 200lbs but gained >100lbs in less than a year during the pandemic. I lost majority of the weight through crash dieting and a lot of cardio with minimal lifting and lost 90lbs in 6 months (which i regret). Afterward, I became addicted to bodybuilding and my life, plans and thoughts revolve around it 24/7.

I also suffer from multiple mental disorders (PDD, GAD, ADHD, DPDR and OCD).

just wanted to share in case anyone going through the same thing has questions!
