God, I don't even know where to begin. I'm so depressed. And it's weird because the first time I had cancer back when I was 17 actually brought me out of a major depression. See, I had been so sickly and unwell for months before the actual cancer diagnosis. They misdiagnosed me with and treated me f
This past November I went to work as usual, only to arrive at my customers home feeling a bit off. After apologizing for being under the weather I proceeded to head back home, thinking I had a bit of a bug. By the time I made it home I was in pretty significant pain, and after trying to sleep it o
As the title says I just had an experience which put me in the hospital for 4 days. A little background context: I am a fairly healthy 42 m and was diagnosed with testicular cancer back in March, had surgery in April to remove, and began discussing follow up in May. My doctor and I decided that beca
Hi everyone, I was recently diagnosed with a rare type of ovarian cancer. I've had the main tumour surgically removed, and right now I'm going through fertility preservation before I can start chemo. I've been looking into tips and tricks for dealing with all the side effects from chemo and I've see
Hello everyone! In January of 2021, my father began to have some abdominal pains. He had a history of these pains, always taking Tums on a regular basis. Tums would normally help, and if it didn't Mylanta or Maalox would do the trick. This time was a little different however, where his pains would n
I pulled the evidence out of the file and then stuffed it in a drawer and piled other papers on top of it. I wanted it to look like it wasn’t of interest if someone went looking. But the little slip of paper that told me he was a dirty liar? I kept that. Read it. Took a photo of it and hid that phot

I'm a black 24 yo, and I finally decided to listen to the Rock music that gets so much praise. Outside of 3 albums, my only experience with rock music is from video game soundtracks, movies and TV commercials. I tried to go into each one with an open mind and as blind as possible, doing research aft
Hello. [Original post.](https://new.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/oefrtm/aita_for_picking_out_the_peas_from_my_dinner_in/) Thank you very much for your insight. I appreciate all the comments and also the awards. I think that's very cool to receive. Some comments said to talk about it with my m
This is my first post here, and I only have done this after telling the whole story to a friend who posts on Reddit and told me that this story had to be put here after telling him the whole story. This is a long post, you've been warned. ​ If revenge is best served cold, then my revenge
I went on a date last night with somebody that I met on an app. Let’s just say, the second I walked into the meeting place, I instantly knew I wasn’t attracted to him. Anyway, like most women do, I gave it a conversation to see if I’d be proven wrong. Unfortunately I was not. He didn’t ask me any qu
I, 45 M have one son, 16 M. He recently got his drivers license and a job at a small ice cream shop. His mother left almost as soon as he turned one, so we have a very open relationship. He tells me stuff most kids don't feel comfortable telling their parents and I'm so grateful for that, so when i
My sister is a genius. When she was about thirteen she made this device that honestly still blows my mind. I’ve spent my entire life studying physics and I still don’t know what she did, or how—which is probably for the best considering how this all played out. I don’t know how she did it, but what
