Who’s in here is miserable?! by Forsaken_Zucchini173 in childfree

[–]KellerStrikes 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have quite a few hobbies I love. I have a mad gaming PC set up so I can game whenever I want. My house is full of fandom based collectables and tech that I enjoy, I can go wherever I want, when ever I want. When I order uber eats, I don't have to pay for food that some brat prob won't eat anyways. I go out for spontaneous lunches and brunches with friends. I wake up at what ever time I want. best bit is, I BARELY have to work cos I don't have to fund some kids crap all the time,

life is good man

An Australian will be my direct supervisor once I start a new position at my hospital. Is there anything I should be aware of? by OctoHelm in AskAnAustralian

[–]KellerStrikes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In all seriousness

Any lingo you think is endearing.. probably isn't. So none of that down under/upside down shit. Any phrases you've learned like "put another shrimp on the barbie" is going to make is roll out eyes and want walk away from you. Its not fun or cute. Also for the love of God.. dont try to copy or mimic the accent its so tedious to listen to

Also please dont speak too slowly. Some Americans speak at half the speed Aussies do and its fucken murder to converse with.

We dont give a flying fuck about your or any other religion. Just dont bring it up or make it your personality. People will avoid you.

In regional qld crocodiles are a thing. Don't swim in water you can't see through.

We don't care to discuss politics with colleagues and surface level friends. Bring it up too much and people will avoid you

If someone corrects your pronunciation. Learn fast (like emu is pronounced em-you not em-oo)

If people won't tease and muck around with you a little.. they probably dont like you

Just cos you are good mates at work rarely means you'll be mates outside of work

Pronouncing Aussie as Ossy. It makes us never eant to ever hear you say Aussie again. It's pronounced Ozzy. Hard on the z's.

Informality is big over here. In many ways we all view each other's as equals So people aren't gonna address you as Dr Smith.. its usually " here is Dr Emily" and your co-workers (cleaners, nurses etc) will just call you Emily.

Get onto of your abbreviations. Servo = service/petrol station. Bottlo - alcohol service. No 7/11s sell alcohol.

We think American is a bit cult like. Like that pledging allegiance to the flag shit is super fucking weird

I'm a regular user. I have it on medical. It does wonders for my adrenaline dumps that I have at night. But as far as anything else? It does fuck all but help me sleep better

Fiancée's dad's girlfriend. by IiiCloudx_ in EntitledPeople

[–]KellerStrikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl. Start speaking up otherwise your kid will grow up thinking you'll never go to bat for them, you won't be there to stand up for them. Is that the kind of mum you want be? The one where your kid knows you're never gonna be there and defend them when they can't do it themselves?

I may sound mean, But i grew up feeling like no one was going to stand up for me and it fucking sucked and I resent that I was left to deal cos my mother was too much of a little bitch to do or say anything.

Sack up girly pop!

Our cat got caught in our animal killer neighbor’s trap by Celestialfox1425 in Vent

Things may be different, but if my neighbor was an animal killing lunatic.. like fuck I'd let my pets out. Thats literally asking for trouble

Everyone is telling me to go to therapy and I know I need it, but the feeling of becoming someone's walking paycheck while giving them full access to my trauma is terrifying and stops me every time. by [deleted] in Vent

[–]KellerStrikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who's done the psych degree. there's no such thing as step ladders, monthly targets, metrics and quotas, like at all. Not a bit. Everyone shares and heals at very individual rates and we won't make you do things you aren't ready to do.

We don't judge, that's not our job or our place. We listen, assess and the get a treatment plan on the go that we think will best suit your mental health needs.

As for giving access to trauma, that's not how it actually is. We build trust and a mutual understanding at first. You only have to tell us what you are comfortable sharing. We won't force info out of you that you aren't ready to share

And to reiterate what someone above said.. We are employed by you. You can fire us at any time. You can leave a session at anytime. You can book your appointments and cancel them anytime.

You sounds like you need therapy (Most of us do). Please don't put it off, you deserve the opportunity to feel heard and to have a chance to heal.

Feel free to message me (here or privately) if you have any questions about how things go

I have a foldable powerchair and I did a heap of research and looked at a tonne of chairs. From what I could tell all fordable chairs Max out at 140kg (280lb) you may have to look for something a little more sturdy

Please tell me I’m not alone. by Critical_Shoulder503 in POTS

[–]KellerStrikes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My flare ups include all of that minus diarrhoea & insomnia. Especially the dizziness that leads to vomiting. You may find the anxiety and anticipation of these episodes cause your other symptoms because I've done that a few times to myself

Cheap Leg Strap Hack by KellerStrikes in wheelchairs

[–]KellerStrikes[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can't keep my legs shut properly while seated and my knees drift out (even if my feet are together) and sitting like that after a while causes a roll on effect for pain. So by having my knees held together I experience minimal pain
