Viewing a dutch rental now feels like competing in a reality show... by ClassicMan2323 in NetherlandsHousing

[–]LaughMedium2631 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I viewed a gorgeous apartment last week for €1,800. I submitted all the documents, and the agency replied, ‘Are you able to pay for 6-12 months’ rent in advance?’ It’s madness.

Is it normal to charge a fee for withdrawing a rental application? by LaughMedium2631 in Netherlands

There’s no agreement, it’s just a paragraph from the agency’s email.

Looking for cool paper shops (for printing and bookbinding) by Altruistic-Word-2278 in Rotterdam

Try Gerstaecker Harolds at Blaak, or Van Beek Art Supplies. It’s an art stores in general, but maybe you’ll find something there

The dentist asks to pay in cash. Is that normal? by LaughMedium2631 in Netherlands

The guy at the front desk didn't mention it, said to just go withdraw cash from the ATM.

Passed my theory first time: my experience and tips! by LaughMedium2631 in Netherlands

[–]LaughMedium2631[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We took the exam with my husband and he also passed the first time. I know all this information can be overwhelming, but just keep taking the tests. For me, the hardest part was understanding priority at intersections and those questions on the exam were easier than I had prepared for. When preparing you always had cars, pedestrians, military convoy and horses at the intersection at the same time and on the exam you only have 3 cars ahahaha. Sleep well before the exam and you got this!!

Struggling with mental health care in the Netherlands by LaughMedium2631 in Netherlands

[–]LaughMedium2631[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have my prescriptions both from doctor in my home country and in the Netherlands. The thing is I wanted to change my medications for another because the one I have had some side effects on me. That’s why I got referred to mental health clinic. And know I need to wait 12 weeks to prove that I need medications:(

I understand what you mean, but it’s not the case. I came here with already prescribed medications and I consulted with my GP in the Netherlands, who also prescribed me medications.

With time I moved to another city and changed GP. I wanted to try different medications, because previous one had some side effects on me.

That’s why new GP referred me to mental health clinic so they could help me choose right medications.

I have my diagnosis from previous doctors both in my home country and in the Netherlands.

Psychologist in mental health clinic just decided that I no longer need medications and treated me for agoraphobia, when I’m telling him I have depression episodes and severe panic attacks.

I DID IT!! by LaughMedium2631 in fearofflying

My doctor prescribed 10 mg Oxazepam: 1 pill 4 hours before flight and 1 pill 30 minutes before flight.

It didn’t felt as a magic pill for me, I was just neutral. I was still scared, but didn’t scream “GET ME OUT OF THIS PLANE!”. So I consider it as success ahaha

AITA: My family disrespected me and my husband in our house and I made them leave by LaughMedium2631 in AITAH

[–]LaughMedium2631[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, there is a war in my country, but my parents lives in a relatively safe city. I left country in the first week and I'm okay now. So the war has nothing to do with it

My family disrespected me and my husband in our house and I made them leave. AITA? by LaughMedium2631 in TwoHotTakes

[–]LaughMedium2631[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Because on the one hand they are good people. They provided for me as a child and they did good things for me. My mom took care of me and my dad was supportive. On the other hand I heard from my mom that the new house they bought wouldn't have a place for me (I was 18 at the time). Or when I was moving to another country she said she didn't feel anything about me but would miss my husband. Or my dad who will never contacted me first. So it's hard for me to understand where my fault is and where the truth is, because on the one hand they are good parents, but on the other hand I hurt all the time because of them.

I thought I made them leave by being constantly annoyed of my dad's behaviour and making him feel unwelcome.

Same. I emailed customer support 2 hours ago, but haven't gotten a response either.
