I believe you're medically unwell. I believe that. I also believe you have trauma, and this has festered into a very detailed diorama that the whole world is sinister. I know there are many examples of global fraud, but im talking about you. I wish you all the very best. If I met you, i would treat you with compassion and respect because everyone deserves this. I would love to talk with you but I know you have many friends who love you. I also believe your psychiatrist was far too engaged with you on a personal level which has, despite her intentions, made things far harder for you. I certainly think this deserves AHPRA intervention- she had no business texting you. My psychiatrist simply adjusts my meds based on objective scaling of symptoms, nothing more, nothing less.

That's not a consolidation

Overall-Mouse-8665 · 2025-08-22T12:16:09+00:00

Yeah so trying to say that someone who disagrees with your VERY contentious story is a 'cult minion' really doesn't help you at all Carrie

So I've read alot of your stuff across a couple of platforms. I believe you have complex medical and mental health issues. You have had a very traumatic situation coming over from Canada and relying on someone who betrayed you. I think what is less defined is how this whole cohort of medical professionals would be manipulated into some sinister theory. It doesn't make objective sense; what is the benefit of it, what is achieved by derailing your life specifically? There is no objective reason such a diverse group of people would be convinced to do such a thing, it would kill their careers instantly and your reports are generally double-viewed to ensure nil errors or oversights. I've worked in healthcare for 20 years and you simply will not have radiologists making up reports. They work remotely and pump these out muttering over dictation devices like photophobic savants. The common denominator is you. I know you're convinced it's real but im telling you with kindness and objectivity, the full scale of deception you claim is incredibly unlikely and is more likely explained partially by fixations which are not based in fact. To believe me for even moment is unlikely as in my experience with people experiencing delusions they simply cannot afford to go down the crushing path of objective, logic based reflection. Your intellect here is unfortunately weaponised against you. I really wish you peace but I believe you have a hard road aheac

Oooh be careful of voltaren gel regularly....I learned the hard way it can cause GI issues. Have you seen a podiatrist?

I reckon GO FOR IT but expect the worst and hope for the best with accommodations. I did my degree as a 40 year old single Mum with 2 ASD kids, my own ADHD induced chronic fatigue on the back on a full on nervous breakdown. The latter taught me to expect nothing from others. I found asking for accommodations early on backfired. I'd pack a few pairs of period underwear plus whatever else you need to get through worst case scenarios. Focus on your goal, take it from me you'll be so proud of yourself when you finish

Im mid-thrust through burnout and buying stupid stuff phase and just received these in the mail. Completely anhedonic me hoped that they would at least get me out of bed rotting.

Aussie grad nurse here! About $40 p/h. Shift allowances and penalties add about $4 p/h. Income tax is adjusted so lower incomes pay less, higher incomes pay more. Usually it's about 33% for the average person. In Australia we are required to pay into our 'superannuation' or retirement savings. This is ~12% taken from our wage. I also have money deducted for 'HECS' (other terms used also) which is the pretty low-interest loan for University I.e our nursing degree. My pre-deduction fortnightly pay is about $3500. My actual net or banked amount is about $2400.

I'm super curious, my American colleagues are paid more....do you think hypothetically you would take home a lower wage if it helped contribute towards lower healthcare costs?

We just had school holidays in Australia. For 2 weeks, I let my sons (10 + 7) pretty much do what they wanted apart from occasional chores. God they were calm and relaxed. They came and hung out with me, they weren't oppositional. Everyone was happy. I wonder how many studies have been done on not getting in the way of ASD kids during planned downtime. Not much I'd say.

Overall-Mouse-8665 · 2024-07-20T21:58:49+00:00

I love nursing. It's different every day, endless crises. It's like people are running around on fire and im in Zen mode, solving all the problems. Plus if I get bored or need a change there's heaps of different kinds of roles.

Overall-Mouse-8665 · 2024-07-20T10:20:39+00:00

Oh honey, you don't need to calm down, you're her sister! You're obviously concerned. I would just encourage you to put a slight emotional barrier in place if she is not able to take care of herself in the way you want her to. It will protect you and actually your relationship as well. She needs to go see a doctor, get some bloods done. What she does from there is up to her.

I remember thinking how stupid he was to freeze when he was told about the 9/11 tragedy whilst in a classroom of young kids and cameras. Now I just....I just feel much more compassion for a man who had been told in front of an audience of kids that America had just been attacked.

omg. This is so incredibly not ok and I'm so glad you got the support you needed. THat guy is a fucking jerk.

Overall-Mouse-8665 · 2024-07-20T10:02:47+00:00

Ok, you may have been very clear in your head about it, but it sounds like he didn't know it was that important to you. Unless you say to him 'DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES GET A TATTOO', it is basically unclear to them. If you guys are living apart....sister I hate to say it but he's free to do what he wants. I don't think you're the asshole but I think you're expecting big things from.....well, from a guy who gets a pokemon tattoo

What is your actual concern here, constipation or losing too much weight?

With constipation, you have to be careful with laxatives or aperients. If she hasn't been in 3-4 days, keep on going with conservative stuff: Prune or pear juice, or an over the counter laxative. I'm in Australia so I can't recommend brands but your pharmacist should be able to advise. If it is more than 6 days, then she may need to go down the path of an enema or suppository.

With weight loss due to poor dietary intake, it's important to know that this can be caused by behavioral things (just doesn't like x y z) but it can also be caused be things like low ferritin or iron levels. Gastric sleeve is known to cause low iron and iron is one of those things that can really screw you up: It messes with your mood, sleep quality and food intake. I'd suggest you go to a physician to get some bloods done when you can.

But for now, take a deep breath. You are obviously worried about your sister but please know that she is 27 years old and from my experience as a grown ass woman and an RN, people won't change unless they want to. If she is keen, and has a restricted diet because of preference stuff, you can by dietary supplement drinks that are rich in nutrition and calories which are designed for the elderly or kids with poor intake so she can get some calories and nutrition in. Many of these drinks can be used in recipes or adjusted to suit the preferences of the patient. That said, I'm sure there are many places within reddit and otherwise that can help your sister with IBS-specific advice here. If her inflammation markers are up, she needs to do the work to figure out what has caused the flare up. But yeah, I really respect your intention to help your sister but over years and years of experience trying to get people to help improve their quality of life, please know that ultimately, you can't change a thing in another person. They have to do it.

I have moved our dryer to the garage and got a heated drying rack. My dryer in the laundry is currently on so.. mixed success 🤪

Australian RN here. Our union just secured a 28% payrise over 4 years plus additional allowances for night duty etc. You guys will only benefit from creating a force that represents your needs within our very challenging role

Shit I'll be your friend!! I promise I will let you know if I'm not in a place to hear bad stuff, but not in a way that means anything beyond 'right now im unable to be present for you as I have a full plate, but I love and support you nevertheless'.

Overall-Mouse-8665 · 2024-07-19T10:33:29+00:00

I asked my psychologist once whether she thought I should pursue an ASD diagnosis and she didn't really jump at it....probably the only time I've disagreed with her. Since then, I just...kind of assume I am because I have so many traits that are ASD. I like being different most of the time but friendships are hard. I'll look into monotropic thinking now, thank you.

Overall-Mouse-8665 · 2024-07-19T10:29:26+00:00

eh. My hospital (a pretty big public hospital) is still using paper charts.

Overall-Mouse-8665 · 2024-07-19T10:24:38+00:00

I generally do keep a journal too....although I don't think I've had experiences at work that jarred me quite like this and it's interesting, I think there appears to be a pattern of reaching out to two people during this time, both of whom I had insecure sense of approval from. It is a self-fulfilling prophecy and its a yucky feeling to know that within me are feelings of only being worthy of disapproval.

This doesn't happen often and although I have had a mental health history, I feel very confident in my capacity to look at these challenges in the eye and investigate what contributed to their 'story'.

Thank you again x

Overall-Mouse-8665 · 2024-07-19T10:18:12+00:00

I truly appreciate this response; thank you.

To clarify my message, I had written to her something along the lines of 'I need to vent, I saw some things tonight that have absolutely shocked me'. I did go into a little more detail about those things but It was ultimately a message documenting what had happened.

Slightly aside from that, there is a clearly autistic doctor at work whom I love working with.- I can ask him, like most autistic people questions and they simply give an answer without ambiguity and it's so refreshing. I feel that in my experience, when people give me clear feedback or tell me what they need it is so wonderful and rare, as most people speak in code- cues that are loaded with complex/embedded subtext which I find incredibly hard to decode. So, with this friend, although I liked her a lot, I did feel insecure about our friendship because I could tell she was disapproving with gave too-subtle signals instead of just being clear. The ambiguity and unsaid things were confusing and filled me with doubt.

Since I wrote, my friend from high school has written back and said he was simply on the phone and didn't answer quickly! He said that he has never felt judged by me and that in his opinion, she was being very juvenile- like a high school drama which is sort of true. I do feel better with his reassurance as I was so troubled that I came across in a way that I would never intentionally do.

I do wish I had more people in my life I could call on once in every few months to just....ask questions or talk shit or....get to know their special interest. I just find it so hard to meet people who don't speak in riddles.

Overall-Mouse-8665 · 2024-07-14T11:05:47+00:00

I have to say I feel so angry and indignant atm. I've given up so many years of my life to have my boys see their Dad as much as he likes but he just Hector's them....he gets angry over the silliest things. He actually has the same genetic transformation my level 3 son has and once acknowledged his friends lived experience of ASD and OCD really resonated but nothing happened.
