I love my psychologist, she's so good. Shame I only have one more session before I have to wait til next year (or if I get a job, I can pay out of pocket lol).
I have two medicare sessions left and I've been postponing and postponing them because even with a decent job, I'll be fucked paying for the rest completely out of pocket haha. Really wish there were more pathways to access at least 15 sessions a year at the MHCP rebate for diagnosed chronic complex MH issues... not just those with eating disorders who somehow get 40 (!!!) rebated psychological treatment services every 12 months as long as they're billed under eating disorder-related services... (not to take anything away from people with EDs but damn there are some other conditions too that could really benefit from even short-term access to increased sessions esp with acute flareups).
Eating disorders get it because they're genuinely lethal if left untreated. Anorexia has the highest death rate of any psychological condition. By a lot.
There are some...especially pressing reasons to make treatment consistently available for that
I can't recall the exact details anymore but a few years ago my GP got me onto a chronic health care plan (long term depression) that got me a few more psych rebates and a few sessions with a exercise physiologist (to help with strategies for movement). Might be worth asking about especially if you have additional health things?
I get 10, and then 4 extra with another GP referral, so total 14 per calender year. That's how they treat suicidal ideation I guess π€·πΌββοΈ
Next sesh will be my 14th :(
Proof Boyo had a deprived childhood, he doesn't know what a Banksia man is!
I didn't know either, but also from a deprived childhood!
I was deprived too, looked it up and they look like they would be terrifying for little kids!
Probably a nice protected childhood. The Evil Banksia Men were properly scary! At least at the panto thing I was taken to at a very young age.
Ordering groceries online is easy, carrying them all to the kitchen from the front door is hard. I am exhausted just from that effort, and haven't even put it away yet. I really should have ordered some chocolate.
Mr Woof has found his moose toy and has been carrying it around trying to find a safe place for it. He took it to the bed yesterday and has now bought it out onto the couch next to me. I think it means I'm entrusted to look out for the moose's safety.
Yarrabyte has forsaken us again.
Theory: all roads lead to Rome
My better counter-theory: all thoughts lead to apple strudel
I just put an apple danish in the airfryer. And I'll be forced to have it with cream. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?
YES! I AM VERY HAPPY!
I have an aldi apple strudel in the oven and chocolate ice cream ready to go and I'm fuckin' HANKERIN' for it π€€π€€π€€
Mine is an Aldi too. It says 6 servings but we all know that's a lie. I'm up for the challenge.
Iβm going to have to get some on shopping day!
Get the apple or Berry mini pies. 2 in a pack. They're better.
Omg yesss! I love hot pie desserts just get it in my belly, the serving suggestions be damned! I want to feel like I'm about to explode!
Excuse me this is RUDE when I have no strudel available to me and am forced to live a strudel-less existence (until I can get to Aldi).
That sounds like a YOU problem! I say storm your local aldi and demand your rightful STRUDEL
i am strudel and danish and pie less
but i have all the ingredients to make one, maybe tomorrow or the next day
Itβs disconcerting to find the back sliding glass door open when you get home.
The wind somehow activated my garage door and it was wide open. π¬
Shit yeah. I hope everything is alright.
Everything looks in order. Itβs a bit of a mystery. I have myself on camera closing and locking the door.
And nothing else from then onwards?
No. I have two cameras on this entry (internal/external). the door itself is barely out of frame but anything even near the door gets recorded.
I watched the footage twice and nothing happens. The cat doesnβt even stir. I think itβs officially haunted here.
How odd, did you see the door while it opened?
I watched as the wind blew the sliding flywire door open, just slowly blew it sideways
Got accused (jokingly) by aunt that hambam gained weight under my watch.
It's pure muscle, all I did was unleash his apex ball chasing and cheese loving genes.
My lovely colleagues dropped by campus with an age-relevant cake and moral-boosting morning tea. It's definitely helped because i had hoped to be celebrating today but what's a few days here and there when you're an adult. Plus, the headache is gone and I'm pumping out insightful observations with ease, albeit without references at this point. Highway to the Paper Zone!
That said, every time I'm writing things like "Regardless, the results suggest that ..." I feel tempted to add "(but does it though?)" on at the end. Reminder to self: this is a 25 point research project, not a real thesis, it ain't gotta be so rigorous
OK my trip this weekend is sorted! Been hanging to see these guys. 10 years is a long time not to see people I considered family at 1 point.
Eeeeeeee!
Are Gibson & The Strays sorted for the duration of your absence?
Actually, that's quite a cute band name ...
That's a damn good band name!
And absolutely yes. I made sure to organise someone I trust to hold down the fort and dispense the treats to all :)
Iβm glad you managed to organise it. I hope you have heaps and heaps of unforgettable fun!
tired with a touch of scratchy throat, think I'll rest today
Going to look for a new role in the coming weeks. My manager is acting like a child throwing a tantrum.
Considering my employment directly impacts my housing, it's best to look for an out before he forces me out.
You're having a tough run, dude! But good on you for recognising it's not working and being open to something else.
I';m so sorry to hear, is that also the reason why some others at your work has left?
Come on petrol stations, hold out for 2 more days.
So windy all day. This house rattles and creeks when itβs windy.
