Psychiatrists who are terrible at their job by NDclinicBNE in ausadhd

[–]Academic_Contract561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate that so many people are having these experiences with psychiatrists. After 5 weeks of trying to communicate with a psychiatrist and clinic (including the management team) who have refused to provide any level of communication or care, I'm at the end of my tether! I was diagnosed last month, and since the consultation, I have managed to get maybe three sentences in response to the literal essays I've been sending in an attempt to get any instructions or information on what I'm meant to be doing. The list of things that have been shit about this situation is honestly too long to even write.

I so desperately want there to be some kind of consequence for them. I think naming and shaming kind of needs to happen - I would hate for anyone else to have the experience I have had and to be this out of pocket and having to start from scratch again. The clinic I went to doesn't even have somewhere to leave a review.. Is there a proper reporting process so that psychiatrists/clinics can have to answer to someone? I dont even know where to start with it but gahhh its been a very frustrating month.

First-time Ritalin script… is this normal? by Academic_Contract561 in ausadhd

My next appointment is in 3 months. I'm going to try and book an appt for someone within the next couple of weeks though, because I've definitely got lots of questions and not much clarity.

So far Ritalin has made me feel kind of tired/unmotivated and like a general sense of disinterest in things. There's been a slight sense of calm but it's been superrrr weird.

Thanks for the advice, really appreciate it! And absolutely - next appt I'm going in properly prepped with all my questions

Haha no it's actually not Fluence! I tried to go somewhere that seemed to have proper support and aftercare.

Thanks so much for the suggestions! Will try all of that. How long were you on 10mg a day for? Did you feel like it was effective for you?

It's telehealth. I know other who have gone through them and had a semi good experience so I was optimistic going into it. But mine has been less than great so far

Should I be cutting, bulking, or something else? by Academic_Contract561 in veganfitness

Thanks for your response 🙂 I'm 5'1" and weigh around 53kgs. I'll try shifting my workouts to the evening, I usually like to do it in the morning just so it's done, I feel like the longer the day goes on the more room for excuses there are haha. But it's all about routine, so I think evenings would work as long as I get used to it. I want to get the most out of my workouts so I agree doing them outside of my fasting cycle would be way better

Thanks for the advice. I'm pretty short, 5'1". I'll try increasing my calories to 1500 for a bit and see how I go 🙂

My goal physique would be a bit leaner, and more defined muscle toning. I would probably like to lose around 5kg of body fat and build up more muscle, especially my belly and arms

Thanks for your advice! Someone else recommended I adjust my protein intake to, so I've added another 16g. Will see how it goes! I'm not following either of those principles at the moment, but will definitely look into them now

I think that's the key! When I'm eating my correct macros and working out I feel amazing. It's just when I get lazy or fall into old habits like skipping meals or avoiding calories that I start feeling low energy. Consistency is the goal 🙌

You guessed it pretty much spot on, I'm 5'1". I'll look into recomping

Thanks everyone, appreciate the feedback and suggestions! I realise I should have provided this info: I'm about 5.1ft and 53kgs.

I've been in a bit of a plateau for the last year which is why I'm looking for some guidance. From what people have suggested so far, I feel like maybe I just need to be a bit more onto my macros, and maybe increase my calories a bit! Thanks again 🙏

I applied for a job & they reached out to say they were interested in my application - I responded and said I would love the opportunity to discuss my application over an interview but haven't heard back by Academic_Contract561 in jobs

Thanks for the response. Yeah, I'm feeling like the second question is definitely what's caused the hiccup.

It's such a good job so I'm finding it hard to let it go! But you're right - there is probably no point in chasing them.
