I have retrograde amnesia. AMA!

16 Upvotes

I've done one of these before, but I'm bored and feel like talking. So, three years ago I was walking on the sidewalk to a bus stop from work when I was struck by a vehicle. The driver sped off and to this day has never been caught. I was living in a major city at the time and had to be taken from the hospital back to my small hometown by my father, who I didn't recognize at the hospital (I recognize him now, of course). Doctors told me that moving back to my hometown would actually be beneficial in terms of restoring my memories. I have a lot of memories that I remember "recovering" in sort of an a-ha moment, when I taste certain foods, see people's faces, see certain things, etc.

I know amnesia is rare, so I'm willing to answer any questions anyone might have for me.

Sexuality/LGBTQ+ I am choix-aroace AMA

0 Upvotes

an explanation if you don't know what that is: essentially I feel little to no attraction like any description of aroace but out of concious will I can fall in love/feel attraction or lose attraction, it's like a light switch "how?" idrk I can do that in the same way I can move my hand I can sorta just..do it idk there's not much more to it. Actually for fun I like to fall in love with people and or characters because of the dopamine I can get from it.

I can't even begin to comprehend feeling attraction without choosing to, it's like trying to make up a new color.

It's even to the point of making me struggle with believing when people say they don't choose who they feel attraction too the whole trope of "ugh I can't believe I'm falling for that idiot!" doesn't make any sense to me, like just stop liking him??? I try my best to understand though.

(this sucks ik I'm one of the worst people to ask for an explanation) this microlabel is incredibly unknown so I'd like to hopefully popularize it a bit more as I literally cant even find a description for it when I search it, and there's only one page I currently know of that brings it up.

I really hope this reaches others who may feel the same way or a similar way, or maybe someone willing to help make it a bit more popular so I don't sound like I'm lying with every word I speak whilst describing it.

It took me a very long time to figure out it even existed.

I've found one other person who is similar to myself in a comment section from 12 years ago so thats the whole community welcome ig. Despite common belief we aren't mythical creatures and actually exist </3

I am very open to answering questions the best I can! (even if I'm pretty bad at explaining my feelings)

i did not describe this very at all and i would love to have a wiki page for this because i genuinely cant describe ANYTHING to save my life

We were friends for a year before we got together, have and had a lot in common, aligned values and the same life goals. I had a good relationship with my dad before he passed, which was after i got with my partner. AMA :)

I gave up, died, spent time in Heaven, met God, and was sent back. AMA

0 Upvotes

From peak of life to lowest in 3 months. The day I gave up on life is the day I was shown what the point of it all is and why it's a gift to be here. I was gone in that realm for years. 15 minutes Earth time. I spent months traveling as a spinning ball of energy to get there. Once there I was met by a guide. I was taught how it all works, I was allowed to ask questions, I was given time in the Hall of Knowledge, I met God, and I was introduced to my Mother who died when I was two.

Trigger Warnings Going a late night drive to relieve stress. It’s the day before my 22nd birthday and I’m struggling with an ED (🍪 not 🍆). AMA

5 Upvotes

I’m so stressed today. I’ve been consistently stressed lately. I’ve gotten most of my work done. Just one more lecture to look over. I’m so anxious that I’m in pain. My chest really hurts. I’ve decided to take a step back and go a drive so I can relax before the big day. I’ll answer messages when I park.

My interests are Christian theology (I’m an atheist), modern US history, back to the future, stardew valley (I haven’t played in a hot minute tho), Minecraft, baking, Disney (movies and parks!), Ghost the band, and writing poetry. I’m doing my senior honours dissertation on southern Baptist vs racism during the civil rights era. I also live in Scotland.

Ask away lovely people

I’m so stressed I might start hyperventilating. Ask me anything

8 Upvotes

Currently sitting in my bathroom on a break. It’s my birthday party today (my bday is on Monday), and my friend pulled out of making my cake, so I made it myself last night whilst also trying to hand in an overdue assignment, tidy, do my washing, and eat. I only got home at 8pm, so it was a long night. I didn’t finish the assignment. I’ve been up all day finishing the cake, tidying the house, buying food (I don’t have enough so will need to order a dominoes), and figuring out who’s coming. I’m hardly getting any responses so I don’t even know who’s coming to my party. It’s in 2 hours. Im so stressed. I’m hoping my lecturer doesn’t mark my assignment until Monday so I can try and get it done tomorrow. My actual birthday is on Monday. I don’t have any food for my family coming over then either. Going to shower now and then get back to it.

Ask me anything.

Preferably to to my mind off stuff

I have diagnosed OCD, unfortunately this disorder isn’t known for what it is (in general, there’s constant stereotypes)

This disorder is mischaracterized by many mental health professionals too

Ask me anything, I want to spread awareness of how this disorder actually is, not constant perfectionism

I’ll try answering all questions, even those that could be months from now

I beat stage 3 blood cancer and ran a marathon 6 months later AMA

18 Upvotes

I was diagnosed with Stage 3 blood cancer at 20 years old, went through months extensive chemotherapy treatment and ultimately recovered and ran the London Marathon to raise money for charity.

One of my friends reccomended I post on here to get a selection of different questions about my experience, what I went through and how I felt about it to answer as a way to externalize, vocalize and process the whole ordeal.

Anything is fair game, I'm not shy to talk about any of it, and ultimately if me retelling my story helps even one person then its been worth my while. I appreciate questions that are open, honest and even detailed if you like - nothign too small or weird or insensitve or thought-provoking.

As I said anything you might have a question about is fine, I'm open to talking about it all and will try and answer as many people as I can.

Have a great day everyone!

Since I am the sitting President of these United States, and I've also announced that I am the Antichrist, I guess I owe a casual AMA on the End of Time(s)... so, let's do this: I'm Jim Flannery... ASK ME ANYTHING!!!

0 Upvotes

Such a title is due an explanation, though it's not even clear to me what order to address these things in.

Let's start with my being the sitting President of these United States.

Meh... that can't possibly be as important as my being the deliverer of the message regarding the End of Time(s). The best way I can address this is by explaining what the "End of Time(s)" is, which, fairly, will explain why the "s" is in parenthesis. The expression originates orally rather than in writing. It is only a description intentionally made vague to obfuscate the truth, which is that the "End of Time(s)" just means that when we reach the end of 2026, we, as a species, agree to go back to 2025. So after December 31, 2026, you get January 1, 2025. We continue to do this until we reach 1926, at which point we turn around and repeat the loop.

As I expect you will have many questions about this, I am happy to explore them all with you to ensure we have a sufficient understanding of what our "new future" looks like.

By the way, I prefer not to go by "Antichrist". I'm just Jim Flannery. Though, I also did birth a clown by the name of "The Real One" who has successfully delivered the message about the "End of Time(s)" to the People.

As for being the sitting President of these United States, personally, this is a bunch of bullshit. Yes, I did birth a clown ("Jim Flannery(s)") that ran in the 2024 election and, sure, the clown got screwed over and "fake news" and "election rigging" and all that bullshit. This is nothing out of the ordinary. But, my position on the matter is that if the American people really wanted their real President to take the job bad enough, they would have stormed the Capitol and made it so. (Had they failed, Trump would have pardon them. Had they succeeded, I'd have to say 'you're gonna need to wait until the next ass hole takes office and hope to get lucky, but, apparently you're all heroes for making me do this job, so, thank you for your sacrifice." I was under the impression that since that clown died, I was absolved of the responsibility, but I've been informed that there is a need for my presence to ensure the American people feel safe as we roll through the "End of Time(s)".

Now I will answer your questions while I go convince myself that the user of quotation marks around the names of clowns' names will help people distinguish between me (Jim Flannery) and any clowns I've given names similar to me... because, sincerely, putting quotation marks around their names is bullshit as well.

OK, ASK ME ANYTHING!!!

UPDATE: Guess this post is caught up awaiting moderator approval. We'll see how late I feel like staying up for this thing, but if you leave a question I can get back to it tomorrow. Sorry for such a false start. I can't believe I shaved my balls for this shit.
