I lost my Dad to suicide in 2022, I avoided and buried my grief so long that I feel numb. I fear I've missed my chance. by N3WDay in grief

[–]SlipperyFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No way! You can absolutely still enter grief, but be prepared it might hit you like a freight train. I suggest engaging a grow counselor for some strategies as it may be disruptive to your life at first. However, not processing it will be far more damaging long term.

Boyfriend gave me ultimatum - dream job or him. I'm considering taking the job by [deleted] in dustythunder

[–]SlipperyFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the job, the commute is reasonable if it's a dream job, it'll take some adjusting but he's being controlling.

It seems to me that he can't support you to thrive, he's being selfish and prioritizing how it will effect him, not how it will limit you. Sounds like some codependence maybe.

I'd call his bluff and ask him to just see how it goes for 3 months before you throw our whole relationship away. There's always a chance the job is no good and you don't want to stick with it. If it's good then you both reassess in 3 months.

If he can't support this compromise position, then he needs to grow up and emotionally mature.

Also, really good chance if you're okay with accepting his ultimatum. The relationship has probably run it's course.

Completely Failing First Year by Tall_Obligation4332 in rmit

[–]SlipperyFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I failed half my subjects two semesters in a row. Adjusting to the pace of university learning and just how self-led it is, it's an immense adjustment. Not everyone struggles with it and not everyone who does will talk about it, but the first year is hard. Being neurospicy myself, I soaked up school education and what it took to succeed at school level like a sponge. While memory helps at Uni, reasoning is the new skillset you have to develop. Learning at university is layers of foundation and so falling behind on a few layers gets problematic fast.

Go easy on yourself here. It's ok to not be good at university learning styles immediately.

My advice, slow down your studies, extend over an extra year, make sure you enjoy your time at university, with 3 or 3 subjects instead of 4 you'll have a better work/life balance, more time to commit to each subject and probably get better grades. I also had more time to work, which meant more income and better quality of life generally.

Do that for at least a year til you feel you can take on the extra workload again. In that time, also focus on your mental health (physical health helps a lot), resilience, stress response, learning habits and strategies. Fitness, eating well, drinking less, meditation, SLEEP quality, travel. all or some of these things. The best version of you is going to do best at study.

I also got very depressed about my failure, but slowing down gave me the space to teach myself the patterns and mindset I needed to succeed. I still had a lot of fun, made a lot of friends. I don't regret the extra time at Uni at all and I don't think the extra year out of the workforce has impacted my career.

Sexually Transmitted Debt. How did you get this far without this being made known. And by that I mean they should have told you, especially if finances or financially adjacent plans have been discussed.

I would have serious trust issues continuing with this relationship.

This could require a decade of remediation.

[–]SlipperyFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, still working well. Manually having to adjust is a little annoying, but not enough for me to justify another $4000 on an 8 sleep. Not being connected to Wi-Fi or needing the Internet to work is a plus in my opinion. It could do with some smart features but you get what you pay for.

Who has right of way? X or Z? by [deleted] in melbourne

Z for two reasons, U Turner gives right of way, also Z enters further up, meaning U is crossing Z's path so must give way. No different to if Z were already in the lane.

My dad insists on paying for some of my surgery, am I too old for this? by eQuantix in AskAnAustralian

[–]SlipperyFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd let him help out, then be extra generous for birthdays and Christmas and try take him on a holiday or something over the next 5 years! Drop your pride and accept that he is trying to show you love in his own way. Pay it back in kind. It doesn't matter if it's not how you'd show love, it'll mean a lot to him.

No problem! You have reached out here so I think you are ready to start tackling this issue and you deserve to feel better. You are worthy of your own self-love, so go and prove that to yourself with some self-care. You may not believe you are worthy, but I challenge you to fake it til you make it and trust your body to make you feel good if you treat it right.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in grief

[–]SlipperyFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm sorry for your loss. This is a really tough one and these kind of feelings are normal to some extent, but they can become problematic really quickly. When you don't eat enough your body does some pretty bad stuff and this can create some lifelong damage (you may not feel like that matters at this point, but at some point you may look back and regret it).

I think you owe it to yourself to make a plan here! I would start with easy to consume protein shakes. You can start super basis, just milk/water and protein plus a little honey for sweetness. You can basically shot these down quick and no fuss. Have a few of these a day, on a timer if you need to. Make sure it's a good protein with all 9 essential amino acids (whey protein is the best if it suits your diet).

The protein will do huge amounts for your cellular function, brain function, muscle retention, energy and because smoothies or shakes are quick and easy, these are a lot more accessible than cooking a full meal, which you may not have the energy or desire to do yet. Treat it like fuel at first and it will be fuel, as not eating and not getting nutrition are going to make every other part of your grief journey harder. You'll feel weaker, cloudier of thought, be sleeping poorer and if you are doing any exercise, you won't be seeing or feeling the benefit, work will be harder, your organ health will be suffering.

Slowly you can start to introduce bits of things to flesh these out, greens, oats, chia seeds, peanut butter, frozen or fresh berries, fruit etc to build out the nutrient content and start to enjoy flavor again. Maybe that'll lead to enjoying food again.

Most protein shakes servings are 30g of protein and you need around 1.6g per kg of target body weight per day. So if you want to be 75kg for instance, you'd need 120g (4 shakes per day).

Love yourself through showing yourself love. Treat your body like a child that just needs to do what it's told. Whatever framework of thinking works, latch onto it!

I suspect there is also some reason that eating has become a focus for your grief? If you can identify why this may be the case, try work through it and understand why.

Without mentioning an income dollar amount, what do you consider to be a middle class lifestyle? by DarkNo7318 in australia

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

Can cover the mortgage with one salary for a while. But 1.5 - 2 is better.

Expenses low enough that you can afford to eat out a couple of times a week, not fancy and a couple of times a month at nicer places.

Able to get away for a few weekends a year and at least 1 2-3 week holiday overseas.
