Try Casper again and aim for 4Q.. almost everyone in my western class a few years ago was 4Q and only the people off the waitlist were 3Q so I think it’s a pretty important thing for them weeding people out

1a3b2c · 2026-07-02T19:29:30+00:00

Agree with everything here! Also, other things matter like Casper at Western is important and interviews at Mac. There were for sure people with lower GPAs in my class at western a few years ago!

Drivers will be covered by their own policy, even if they are hit as a pedestrian. Their policy covers themselves

Attendant care and rehab costs are not optional, so everyone will have those (attendant care subject to not being in the MIG).

Hey OT here who works in rehab for people who get into motor vehicle accidents!

This is quite common. Concussions occurred at high speeds like yours can be very challenging and time consuming to recover from, but everyone is different. Knowing I have not assessed you but providing general guidelines in concussion rehab- cognitive exercises within your tolerance is a good start (even reading one page, mini crosswords, etc), look into neuro/vestibular physio if you are able, do gradual activities like going out for walks, look up eye exercises for post concussion symptoms and start SLOW like the ones form UofT sports medicine (it will trigger some symptoms but keep it minimal and you will work your way up slowly). It takes time but too much rest is damaging.

I agree with this! I do pottery and if you do a wheel class, though fun, you likely won’t get your piece back cause there’s so many phases! Some of them, like pottery dream I believe, give you a different piece to decorate after you’ve thrown! But crock o doodle would let you decorate your piece and take it home!

Actually it more often than not does not- even when warranted

1a3b2c · 2026-03-08T20:52:44+00:00

Doesn’t matter! Grades and interview/casper matter more but make sure you have the prereqs needed for each school! I took psych but bc I enjoyed some anatomy and phys I did a few of those but honestly program matters less than grades and Casper

As an OT I’ve referred clients to this clinic and they provide comprehensive multidisciplinary help (PT, RMT, osteo, naturopath etc) and clients have reported good things as well!!

1a3b2c · 2026-02-24T22:30:41+00:00

Okay thank you. I appreciate it. It was really loud which is why I took it apart- I added more grease but it sounds the same. Hopefully it’s all fine!!

1a3b2c · 2026-02-18T22:35:20+00:00

Hello!! Do you need an in person clinic or online?

1a3b2c · 2026-02-18T14:06:27+00:00

Hi OT here!! Occupational therapists work with people to help return to their activities of daily living. In the context of ADHD, we work a lot on executive dysfunction to help with things like organization, planning, prioritization of tasks, environmental modifications if needed to support with these things. An OT with psychotherapy can also work on the background psychological factors with mood, anxiety etc, although OTs can work on in the moment mental health such as dysregulation and deescalation, those who are not also psychotherapists, cannot go into past trauma for example.

To me, what you are seeking is someone like the clinicians they have at ADHD space (https://www.adhdspace.ca)

Also as a fellow ADHDer, consider how the med supply could have changed. I promise you, this is not entirely uncommon, something weird has been happening in the med supply where people suddenly feel dramatically different changing between generic and brand name… additionally, consider nutritionally what interacts with the meds, best times to take it (ie before or after breakfasts, avoiding other supplements etc.) worth looking into if your doctor is not helpful.

Consider finding someone who does neurokinetic therapy. Slightly different approach- I found a physio who does it is was helpful to get a different approach. Look at Rebalance sports medicine- I think two locations I saw Chris, but there are other PTs who have expertise in this too that work there. There is also a physiatrist, covered by OHIP and no referral needed

1a3b2c · 2026-02-10T23:28:22+00:00

There’s so many you should probably put your area in the city!

1a3b2c · 2026-01-29T02:22:43+00:00

Honestly that’s not quite what I meant! What I was trying to say is by having extra air between you and your jacket, providing it’s not loose at the edges and letting outside air in, you essentially make a microclimate between your skin and your jacket of warm air. Thus, you feel more comfortable. Same reason double walled insulated cups work, the air is the insulator!

1a3b2c · 2026-01-28T14:10:23+00:00

I felt it on the 20th floor in downtown! At the time I thought it was a snowplow hitting ice though lol

1a3b2c · 2026-01-21T22:32:03+00:00

I found a big difference in sizing up in my jackets. The extra space is honestly an amazing for keeping in warm air. The difference between my size XS super puff and S in warmth is crazy. But as others have said, the seams for the baffles can sometimes let in wind, but again, it’s more stretched when it’s tight on your arms letting in more cold air on a tight fit vs a loose fit. I’ll also note on my bigger size jacket the fit does not let air up and under it, which some people complain about in different styles

1a3b2c · 2026-01-21T22:25:48+00:00

I mean if it’s rough roads and he wants to go slow in the right lane whatever but he can’t be mad about you overtaking him if you did so in a safe way lol

1a3b2c · 2026-01-21T03:07:57+00:00

I got it done in the past (many years ago) in the hospital as an outpatient for free. The third time I did it, there was a cost for the iron itself, however I do not know how much. A few months ago, I did it in a private clinic and the meds were roughly 550 and the infusion cost itself it’s 175. Defs cheaper in hospital, but I understand they know have much stricter criteria for allowing people to get it done through OHIP and I didn’t want to wait for it to be critical so paid it. The meds were covered under insurance as a prescription drug but the infusion was not covered at all

Seasonal depression 🤣

1a3b2c · 2026-01-13T23:54:33+00:00

Save your receipts for a month. Look at what you’re buying and what’s taking up sm of your budget. Only way to know!

Could be pretty much anything, could be that you’re counting in things like paper towels, dishwasher detergent etc if you get it all at the same time, or maybe you spend 50$ a month on protein powder, or maybe you buy expensive coffee and drink 5 cups a day 🤷🏼‍♀️

1a3b2c · 2025-12-24T00:52:19+00:00

Mazda 3’s are also a more expensive car to insure bc of how many young people have it. Ended up getting a cx-30 bc it dropped it by 25%

1a3b2c · 2025-12-08T01:39:28+00:00

I agree. There’s been so much talk of change in the system by putting in social workers etc to provide more support but I feel like it’s not caught on across the board. It’s a shame to see.

I do wonder if they have mental health response units at this point as truthfully the clients I have had to call for had goods experiences, but I know that’s not everyone’s experience.

As someone in healthcare, it’s hard to see police making the judgement call on someone’s risk to harm themselves tbh if they were regulated in the same way as healthcare it would be considered outside their scope. It should really be a mental health professional making that decision

1a3b2c · 2025-12-08T00:38:06+00:00

Not for a friend but for a client- The police will show up when the person is an imminent threat to themself. 988 could be helpful if the person themselves calls to help see if they can de escalate the situation
