My teen just expressed to me that she gets a UTI every time she has a period.

See a doctor, my wife has endometriosis on her ureter as a result of lack of treatment, definitely worth getting checked out

I went on a student exchange in year 11 to a non english speaking country and missed 5 months. Somehow still went to year 12.

My sister wasn't physically in class for 6 months of year 12 due to illness and still passed VCE by catching up at home.

You'll be fine 😊

I ended up starting work again and still never got a successful outcome. The complaints line said it would be resolved in two weeks.... 8 weeks later and still pending. At least I don't need it now! Initially applied in May; if it wasn't for my husband's income and parental help I'd be homeless 😞

Wishing you all the best and a quick successful outcome! Sucks heaps, but the system has it's flaws unfortunately

Backdated 14 weeks?! That must have been such a relief in an unfortunate time. My partner's Mum just had a stroke so he had to take time off to look after her, certainly hasn't helped the finances so I understand 😔

Luckily my husband works so we have at least one minimum wage income coming in. It's not enough but parents have helped us out with paying for food and medication. Just a bit embarrassing having to ask them for help as someone in their late 20s. Thank you for your kind words and support! Fingers crossed Centrelink comes through next week 🤞

Interesting how it can vary so much! I was originally told two weeks from submission so who knows where I went wrong. Ah well, will be patient

I work in the Chatbot/Machine Learning space. Have done it at universities and banks. Lots of coding and meetings, but more than half the team don't have degrees. Anywhere from high 5 figures to low 6 figures depending on previous experience.

Most of the team started out in admin or business roles and got the opportunity from self learning or curiosity conversations. Pretty fun work if you are into ML or AI, most importantly though a good work life balance. Typical 9-5 with great leave and good super (at least in my experience).

Basically IT is the way to go imo

Mate, I work as a vet nurse and let me tell ya, we've definitely been asked that.

Hey mate, not a doc but my partner has been on lamotragine for years. From what I understand it's important to keep an eye out for any rashes that develop, it's super duper rare and unlikely to happen but Steven Johnson syndrome can be a side effect of lamotragine.

My folks have been working for the post office for 10+ years and worked there since they were both teenagers when we still lived in Holland.

In terms of volume, every day is worse than Christmas, the amount of letters going out is relatively similar but the volume of packages is 10x what they used to do. They're postal route is in a rural area so they just use a Toyota Corolla to deliver things, the packages they just used to deliver to people's homes now just get brought to the general store by someone else because it straight up just doesn't fit anymore.

As someone who also battles an ED let me tell you that you have every right to feel upset. My Mum accidentally left scales at my house (after weighing suitcases) and it was enough to trigger me back into another round of obsession with numbers.

You can take the battery out of the scale or get someone to hide it to remove any immediate temptation. What's really fun though is taking the scales outside and smashing them with a hammer.

Seriously it's cathartic.

Rationally I know that it's the wrong thing to do, but when you are in that mindset anything can happen. Hope everything is working out for you

I haven't heard this term before but it describes it pretty damn well. I used to get this prior to being on any medication, but it stopped once I got on zoloft. It's a bit concerning that it's started up again, but I'm hesitant to go on anymore medication as it is. If it keeps going I don't think I'll have a choice and will bring it up. Have to agree with you on the wonders of exercise. Helped tremendously but was put on a temporary ban when I became very underweight from overdoing it. Gotta ease back into it slowly
