    So turns out a brothel is significantly cheaper than seeing a psychologist and they also offer mental health support.

    Highly recommend.

    Lol.

    I was recommended California Club when I asked a friend in the industry on behalf of another friend who is approaching 40yo virgin territory. CaliClub apparently treats their staff well. Asking for the deluxe rather than basic was the other important advice I received. Basic being more of a smash n dash service.

    Thanks for your recommendation, I went to Scarlett and genuinely focused on hugs. Will check them out though โค๏ธ

    Persons who choose to work in said industry (rather than feeling they have no other option) tend to be a caring sort. It's not at all unusual to pay for just a chat. I'm more concerned you chose this option so quickly rather than talking to your own brain.

    I have severe *AuADHD, and to explain that I means instant gratification is always the right option. I deeply want to and consciously are trying to change that. But in an emergency crisis, gotta do what I know will help me. You get me?

    I'm overly open to change, more than any person you know, and so will genuinely will try anything.What you you do? I have psychologists, I have 2 GPs, I have a lawyer, but hearing from just a random other person feels kind and I respect that

    Having rooftop cocktails with some friends for my bday. The AO evening ground passes were sold out by the time I went to buy them and kinda turned out for that best as the weather went crappy. Thereโ€™s a nice view of Parliament House from here. Itโ€™s been a fun day.

    Hooray tank is filling up.

    Crisis averted.

    Saved a few dollarydoos there.

    Turns out one of the downpipes was solid full of shit (seriously worse than the worst AGB) which for some reason when cleared everything worked.

    Makes no sense but I'll take it.

    I just found out they have a new carrot line which I'm gonna be all over - got a very tall tank that's patched about a foot below the roof line right next to the overflow downspout so it was a bit complex working out how to patch everything in. No diversion chamber = problem sooooolved

    yay, inspection over! Mr Woof was very concerned and told the real estate agent so, very loudly. Miss Meow is still in hiding somewhere.

    spoiler

    I am undiagnosed but peer reviewed for autism. A bunch of my exs are, three cousins are, half of my regular mates are. I just met an autistic lass who picked me out of a crowd of 80 people at an event. I just don't feel / have the diagnosis money. Maybe your tour guide has a touch of the tism themselves.

    I don't see myself buying a house. The new gf has been married once and had to deal with that financial entanglement during the split. We're not looking to combine finances or buy a place together, but are happy to support each other where able. I'm an only child, I think I'll always need my own sanctuary.

    Loving your family doesn't mean not getting away from them to explore the world and working out who you are.

    Hinge et al. Holidays can easily be about quick romance. So much of the dating pressure is gone when you'll only know each other for a few weeks. I dated a lovely Polish kickboxer for three weeks while doing bjj in Thailand years ago.

    I'm interested in these self compassion exercises, I only seem to know Irish-catholic Buddhism where it's all basically my fault for desiring anything.

    We should have a daily thread meet up when you get back. I'm sure you'll find some connections with people in this group. You're younger than many of us, we would've loved to have a trusted group of middle age adults to talk ideas with when your age.

    Hugs as I think it's international hug day.

    If one can handle Shinjuku, they can handle anything.

    This deserves to be a wall plaque.

    Love to hear that you've been bitten by the travel bug and that you're getting great things out of this trip and being present. It can be so personally challenging and it sounds like you're handling it really well, sickness and blocked ear aside. I also really love that you're so self aware about why you perhaps had a crush on the tour guide.

    Have an excellent snow adventure tomorrow, I bet it'll be stunning!

    If you happen to spot Royce chocolate in the airport, their chocolate covered chips are an absolute fuckin' banger.

    I just wanna point out that it wouldn't be "quitting" uni for a year, but taking an extended break or a late gap year. A year of self discovery and growth.

    I woke up feeling icky and migrainey today. ๐Ÿ™ Not a good day for it, as I have a rental inspection today and will need to wrangle Mr Woof who will be very irate at the home invasion. I'd really rather just go back to bed.

    I'm feeling a lot better after some tablets at least. I'd rather get the inspection over with anyway, waiting around for someone to come and poke around your house is worse than the actual inspection anyway. Mr Woof is lucky he doesn't know in advance it's happening!

    Yes, the waiting! Give a reasonable timeframe not an all day date. Dicks.

    Fortunately I do get a reasonable timeframe, a two hour window. But my brain can't seem to settle into doing anything else when I know I have something coming up at a particular time, so just knowing it is happening really throws my day out until it is over.

    ugh, looking for counselling is not easy

    when I was in nyc my doctors had a LOT of experience with victims of terrorism, maybe someone with experience with ptsd and first responders would be fine

    Hugs. I have no specific advice or recommendations. Probably a bit like you I have built a repository of stuff from psychs and yoga and various other modalities. I can link you some decent breathing/grounding stuff. If you are stuck just yell and I will give you some things to try.

    (If a gp would help I recommend M3 health in spotto - DM if you want a bit more info about my doc)

    So I've been watching all these yts on people who get cosmetic surgery/maga face

    and it finally clicked, all the people hysterical that ozempic ruined their face were people who had fillers put in from their tummy ...lol. When a person loses or gains weight the fat cells from tummy are the first to change. It's really obvious on people in the public eye

    so no, ozempic won't ruin a normal face

    I managed to get a ticket to Fit For An Autopsy for tomorrow night off the ticket reselling platform Tixel. I don't like how these ticketing platforms get you coming and going.

    You either have to pay like $8 for bullshit insurance if you can't go to a show, or you can sell it and they can scrape even more off the top.

    Because I got caught up in the whole reason this platform exists, you'd rather go to the show than miss out so you're gonna attend however you can
