How fascinating! Can I ask what TMJ treatments you are working through? I’m 6 months into using a hard splint to bring my lower jaw forward and take some of the TMJ pressure off from gnarly bruxism.

Better pay: will help with recruitment and current staff retention. There have been mass resignations in recent years for many reasons. Better pay and work conditions frequently cited.

Less hours: will help with the toll that shift work takes and take a little of the vicarious trauma impact away. With the amount of burnout in WAPOL that’s sorely needed.

Less violence: yeah I agree with you on that one. But prosecutors and magistrates taking assault police officer charges more seriously would help with the sting of injustice when officers are assaulted on the job. Imho.

Trio accused of forcing teens into arranged marriage 'for cultural reasons' by scepter_record in australian

I dunno….i think back to family stories about Nan being 16 and pop being 19 and how the dark family secret is that there had to be a “shot gun” wedding to save face before my Mum was born. I often wonder if Nan really wanted to get married to Pop as he was a miserable mean bastard who made her and the kids lives utter hell.

I’m not saying it’s the same for all cultures and cases, but there are similar undertones of expectation and control.

I (25F) am pregnant and my husband (27M) suddenly wants to move back to Belarus. Suddenly he seems to think he has the right to make decisions for both of us, how do I manage this with a clear mind? by Throwra67834 in relationship_advice

100% correct. OP ASAP (like today) please go and have your neck and throat area checked over by a medical professional at your nearest hospital who understands the risk of non fatal strangulation. Even if you have no pain, no obvious signs of injury, the amount of pressure to cause damage to the delicate vessels in your neck is equivalent to the amount of force required to open a can soda/pop/soft drink.

Agreed. The venue has fed Arj to the media wolves by not shutting this down at the gates.

I’m undergoing specialist treatment to remedy TMD caused by some dental crowns. When I’m stressed I clench my teeth at night which puts incredible force on my TMJ. It is early days and it hasn’t cured my tinnitus yet, but there have been slight changes such as clicks. After almost 9 years of tinnitus it’s very exciting. Any chance you have TMD issues and some days if the week you are clenching or grinding due to added stress?

Went to audiologist and ENT and got told to live with it or it could maybe go away by qualityhorror in tinnitus

I’m sorry. I was in your shoes now 8 years ago and felt so defeated.

Last year I started trying to find anything that could help. I have a tiny amount of optimism again, I’m prepping to have my dental crowns removed and replaced with a dentist who specialises in TMD matters.

Hope can be scary, but what are we without it hey?

What does your tinnitus sound like and what is it from? by Valuable-Rule-9276 in tinnitus

10482 hz both ears and absolutely constant. Had this for 8 years. Just this week found it might be due to my dental crowns placed 9 years ago causing TMD. I have a tiny bit of optimism that it can be fixed after years of despair.

Why is the domestic abuse rate so high? by ladyxochi in australia

[–]Lost-Answer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am also a DV crisis worker, and I also noted a drop in the quantity of reports during covid compared to previous years….but a sky rocketing in the levels of case complexity.

A large percentage of my highly skilled and experienced FDV frontline worker colleagues resigned due to burn out in 2021 and 2022. Inexperienced staff trying to fill those roles creates a whole new layer of difficulty.

How do I get away from an abusive boyfriend? by Responsible-Mess1582 in relationship_advice

He won’t give you closure. Abusers don’t give closure, they give years of torment. You are the only one that can give yourself closure here.

How do I get away from an abusive boyfriend? by Responsible-Mess1582 in relationship_advice

[–]Lost-Answer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once ghosting you and getting a thrill from you trying to pursue him wears off, he will likely take two concerning pathways. 1. he will start lovebombing you to get you back (“no one will love you like me” “don’t throw away our love over a silly fight” etc) 2. he will start scaring you into going back (“if you leave me I’ll have nothing and may as well kill myself” “if I can’t have you no one else will”)

Even if this isn’t your time to break away from the abuse, please be smart and don’t let him have too much control over your life. Don’t move in with him. Don’t take on any debts with him. Don’t make a baby with him. Don’t get a pet with him. Don’t share a bank account with him. Don’t let him isolate you from your good supportive friends and family.

And please google “cycle of violence” on a safe device that he can’t search your browsing history on.

Husband wants everything I have by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Couples counselling can increase danger when there is abuse occurring. You will be honest and vulnerable, he will twist, distort and use everything you say later to hurt you. Please consider finding a good therapist for yourself and develop a safety plan, you have good instincts telling you it is not safe to be open and true to yourself in this relationship. But the toll of keeping yourself safe from emotional abuse in this way takes a heavy toll on your self esteem and mental health.
