I’m a black immigrant living in Buenos Aires, Argentina. AMA!

175 Upvotes

Hello! I’m a lurker of this sub, but decided today to make my first post. I‘ve seen several posts about Argentina here during the past week, but I haven’t yet seen a post from a black person in Argentina, so I thought it was an opportunity to show a different perspective of what Argentina is like.

It’s been a weird couple weeks for Argentinians in general, and immigrants in Argentina. Some people are probably already tired of this topic lol, but I hope my answers can be helpful and informative for some.

For context, I’m a black immigrant from another Latin American country in Argentina. My permanent residence is in Buenos Aires, though also spend several months in my home country. I went to school for some years in Argentina, I am often the only non-white person in the room, and I have many Argentine friends (plus my boyfriend is Argentine)

My husband is quadriplegic and we're looking forward to start a family AMA.

51 Upvotes

Me(27F) and my husband(28M) have been married for 3 years now, soon to be 4 years married. We live together in our home we bought together and with a little of help from our parents. My husband is a quadriplegic due to a spinal cord injury he suffered over 14 years ago, so our relationship is somewhat different from other couples, but he's still a great partner.

We're looking to have children in the future, but it's complicated for us because my husband's spinal cord injury affects many parts of his body including his fertility. But we've been looking ways to try having children. We'd also like to adopt, but we personally want at least a child of our own.

AMA my aunt survived being targeted by a serial killer

103 Upvotes

During the late 90s my mother's older sister was a 21 year old woman who lived in New Mexico. She had made friends with an older man named Robert Fry who had befriended my aunt and tried to get her to go into the woods with him. Thankfully, she refused and eventually Fry was arrested for the deaths of several women. My aunt is still alive and now has 7 children.

I suffer from antibiotic induced extreme insomnia, SIBO, as well as other psychological issues. AMA

9 Upvotes

I took the antibiotic doxycycline in 2016 for lyme disease and didn't suspect that it caused the depression and anxiety that followed. Fast forward a year and a half in 2017 i took doxycycline again for about 13 days also for lyme and completely decompensated. I didn't sleep for over 2 weeks and had to be hospitalized. The suicidal impulses were intense. Fast forward to 3 years ago i took another antibiotic called Rifaximin for 2.5 days and it triggered the same anxious/depressive response that the previous antibiotics caused.

I believe I am the only person in the world that suffers from this reaction to antibiotics, which is crazy to think. I truly am 1 in 8 billion

I have lived in a tier 5 city and a tier 3 city. (Tier 1 cities are the most developed/rich, tier 5s are the least developed/rich.) It’s quite different to how I and my family members imagined it to be. I really enjoy my job here (English teaching) and recommend this profession to people often.

I'm having my 5th miscarriage, AMA

74 Upvotes

I've had 5 miscarriages (one actively happening) and one healthy living toddler. Order as follows: missed miscarriage at 13 wks (measuring 11); two "chemicals" (4-6 weeks); 7 weeks; healthy pregnancy; and now a missed miscarriage at 11 weeks (measuring 9). All within the past 5 years or maybe less.

My heart is hurting but I thought this might somehow feel therapeutic or help someone going through something similar. AMA.

I married a cult leader. AMA

0 Upvotes

This cult was very "private" and didn't have an open recruitment process. It disguises as an subscription based business that of course offers spiritual technology (think computer RAM for your mind to up your process power) to solve every problem humans can ever have.

I'm no longer married to this person (my luck never disappoints me!). It's been 5 years and I feel I have a much better understanding of why it is a cult (instead of just some weird situation I got involved in) and how typical my experience was marrying a cult leader.

This person, as you would expect, has a brain injury and did so much drugs - very positive it's why he thinks he's got a special power.

I was in my early 20s with a very vulnerable background as you could imagine when I got roped into this.

Willing to answer any questions anybody has about one of the strangest and most terrifying experiences of my life. AMA!

1 Upvotes

For years I was genuinely stalked by someone who convinced me there were cameras in my house.

Over time, that experience changed the way I interpreted the world around me.

Eventually I became convinced that my life was somehow being monitored on a much larger scale. I thought meme pages were secretly making jokes about things I’d done, that films such as Simone (2002), shows like Baby Reindeer and Supacell, and even song lyrics were referencing my personal life.

Every coincidence felt intentional, and every connection felt impossible to ignore.

One of the biggest turning points was hearing rap artists mention names, situations and references that seemed to line up with things happening in my own life. Instead of finding it exciting, it terrified me. I couldn’t understand how people I’d never met could seemingly know details that felt so personal, and I became convinced something much bigger was happening behind the scenes.

As time went on, I believed I’d uncovered a huge secret and that people were coming to hurt me because I’d figured it out.

One night I stayed awake hiding every knife and anything else I thought could be used as a weapon because I believed people were coming for me. I also became convinced that members of my family had already been captured and were being hurt. Looking back, I think seeing my dad assaulted by the man who stalked me in real life blurred together with everything else I was experiencing.

That night ended with me seriously injuring myself. I survived, but it completely changed my life.

Looking back now, I can separate some of the real events - such as the years of stalking - from the conclusions I drew afterwards.

When you’re living through something frightening for a long time, your brain can begin connecting dots that aren’t actually connected, and at the time those connections can feel more real than reality itself. The mind is fragile, and when under prolonged stress it can eat you alive.

It’s one of the most bizarre and frightening things I’ve ever lived through.

Ask me anything.

I'm a chronically ill teenager, AMA!

1 Upvotes

Hello, I've posted here once before a while ago, but I enjoy answering questions so I figured why not!

I am fifteen years old, and I have long COVID, POTS, and general chronic pain, fatigue and autoimmune complications. I will not answer what those are, please Google it.

I am neurodivergent, diagnosed Autism and ADHD, you can ask about that too.

I am permanently disabled, no, it does not go away. I am not here to be some inspiration. I am not here to make abelists more comfortable with a disabled person's existence. I am here to answer genuine questions about my experience! But I am not a thing to pity, I am not a success story on how a disabled person became "productive" or any eugenics bullshit.

With that out of the way, here's some context! I became sick at 11, became very sick at 12. I had to stop going to school due to it in early seventh grade, and have not been back sense. I would be going into sophomore year. I do attend clubs at school though, aswell as going to conferences with friends. I decided to just pick up AP history this year so that I could do study group with my friends. I am homeschooled.

I'm open to questions about my experience physically, but I especially do like answering questions about how it affects me emotionally or my thoughts on things. As the title says though, AMA lol! I may not be able to respond right away but I'll try to respond to as many folks as I can :)

Please specify if you'd like tone tags!

I experienced sibling abuse AMA Spoiler

8 Upvotes

(I hope this isn’t too heavy a topic for the sub)

Growing up, I thought that it was just normal sibling stuff. I am now in my 20s. I genuinely never realized it was abuse until a few years ago when I talked to my mom about it and she told me that it was abuse.

I experienced emotional abuse, manipulation, and gaslighting. A list of some of the specific things I experienced are as follows:

  1. "Jokes" about using my blood to paint their room.
  2. My sibling attempting to convince me I had murdered our little sibling (which they had completely made up; got assurance from mom).
  3. "Kidnapping" me by physically pulling me into their room and refusing to me leave (doesn't fit the legal definition of kidnapping, but it's the word that feels most comfortable to use).
  4. My sibling constantly saying that I was "crazy" and when I actually started to believe it and panicked and asked them what made them say it 100% for real dead serious, they just got mad that I couldn't "take a joke".
  5. Them saying that they liked to, quote, "break my brain".

I mostly wanted to create this post because there are so few resources for people who are dealing with this (most of what I’ve found is either focused on parents being the abusers or just explaining what sibling abuse is and what it looks like), which has made me feel really alone and lost. I’m hoping that by posting this, others will be able to see this and know they aren’t alone and that this will also help bring some awareness to these sort of situations.

Due to the heavy nature of this topic, I may need to take breaks while answering, but I do plan on answering as many questions as I can.

Law student dreading going back to school in 6 weeks. AMA!

5 Upvotes

I (23m) finished my first year of law school in May. I got to school pretty far from home, and where I went to college, and honestly, being back home for the summer has really made me realize how much I was missing out on during school. I've felt so much happier in summer and it's to the point I'm kinda dreading going back... anyway, ask me anything about law school, the law, life, or anything else!
