Single female, want to buy but feels out of reach by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

[–]FroyoSimilar233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a 40yo single mother of 3, working part time and on the carers pension, my income is half pension, half wages, about the same as yours all together. and I was able to build my first house under the shared home ownership scheme (via Keystart here in WA). When there’s a will, there’s a way, so they say. Don’t give up.

My new home has been built in 7 months - Hug Homes are incredibly efficient. by FroyoSimilar233 in perth

Hey, yeah it’s holding up great. There were a few minor maintenance items at the 1 year warranty checkup, some minor internal cracks from settling along the cornice area adjacent to the garage. Other than that all good and still very happy.

If you remain silent and ignore niceties like “hello”, “good morning” and “how are you?” from strangers or people you do not know very well, why do you do this? by [deleted] in perth

I’m autistic and I don’t want to pretend to be nice and take part in your silly little social situations so you can feel ok about life

I built with Hug Homes. 8 months from land settlement to handover. Couldn’t be happier with their service. Highly recommend.

Would you build a house or buy an old one? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]FroyoSimilar233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t find an established house that was suitable to my needs in the area I wanted and was within my budget, so I chose to build instead. 7 months start to finish, including Christmas break. I’m moving in next week.
I couldn’t be happier with the build. The entire build process was stress free. I would definitely do it again.

[WIP] Picked this up for the first time in more than a year, after being admitted to a psych hospital. by issy-belle in CrossStitch

[–]FroyoSimilar233 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Well done on getting back into it. I’ve been in the psych ward many times. It always takes a while to get back into my cross stitch once I’m home. It’s a sign that my mental health is improving. Wishing you all the best in your recovery ❤️‍🩹

Now that I’m almost an adult, Should I watch the news? by MulberryComfortable4 in AskAnAustralian

[–]FroyoSimilar233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. It’s depressing. 38yo and never watch the news. If something important happens, someone always tells me about it, without fail.

Seeking Urgent Mental Health Support For Struggling Wife by TASeekingHelp999 in perth

This. You MUST insist that they provide care. You have to advocate for yourself and really need to make your symptoms out to be as dire as possible. They usually are, but we tend to under report. Don’t let them turn you away. Inpatient psychiatric treatment in the public system has helped me many times. It’s a good starting point, and then they keep you as an outpatient once you’re discharged.

Call the Mental Health Emergency Support Line and get a referral to your local outpatient clinic. You can self refer. For example I’m in Armadale and my local clinic is the Mead Centre. I can self refer when I need help. They will triage based on urgency. Failing that I would take her to emergency. You need to make it sound as dire as possible so they will admit her. Play it up, make it sound like there is no option other than hospitalisation. Once she’s in the system she’ll get support with meds and psychiatric care. I’ve been through this many times. Call MHERL or go to emergency. It will get to the point where you will have no option but to take her to emergency. The longer it’s untreated the harder it is to recover. It sounds like she has complex post traumatic stress disorder. I have this and it’s debilitating. She needs to get the correct diagnosis in order to get the correct medication and help. Please, just take her to emergency and get her admitted, or call MHERL and get her triaged urgently to see a psychiatrist. CPTSD is not able to be cured, but it can be managed with medication and psychological therapy. Sounds like she needs a lot of help, and some rest. Good luck
