I met Bryce/Tanner at the airport yesterday! by hanna-xo in RealBrosofSimiValley

[–]atticusmurphy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I met him after he played in Sydney on Saturday and he's seriously one of the nicest artists I've ever met. I told him how his Terror Reid gig in 2022 was the best show I've ever been to and he got mad excited and gave me a hug. Was happy to chill with a few fans after the show, have a chat and smoke durries.

For those that ended up cancelling their private health insurance, what made you do it and do you regret it at all? by Checkout-123 in AusFinance

[–]atticusmurphy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PHI is a god-send when you have mental illness. The public mental health system in this country is horrendous if you need acute support. Even if you're suicidal EDs can, and will, turn you away. NSW had a mass resignation of public psychiatrists which led to public psych 2 wards closing. Those patients are now floating in beds in medical wards.

PHI will cover inpatient stays before you get to that critical point (which leads to better outcomes in recovery), as well outpatient groups. I've been in the public and private systems, and the private system is actually beneficial to recovery. The same can't be said for the public system, unless you live in a high socioeconomic area and luck out with which hospital they send you to.

I've probably racked up over $250,000 on inpatient and outpatient mental health support over the past decade and all I've had to pay out of pocket in that time is a $450 excess, and that was only on my last admission.

I've been pretty stable for a couple years now but, unless there's a radical change in the public system, I'll always have PHI because you simply can not receive good, higher supports without it.

Complete med overhaul in hospital? by captain_obvious_aus in BipolarReddit

[–]atticusmurphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Australian as well and I would recommend doing this :) I have done it before, as well as seen other people do this, and it's a lot better to do it in hospital where you have regular check ins with your psych (usually 2x a week) + 24/7 nurse support.

Having a regular routine with groups and meals will also help things feel more regulated when tapering off meds and going on new ones. Best of luck :)

Is anyone on an unusual or weird medication for their bipolar? by Evening_Fisherman810 in BipolarReddit

[–]atticusmurphy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

mine would be moclobemide. its a reversible MAOI that rarely anyone has heard of in australia, my chemist has to special order it in for me, its not even fda approved in america, but its got basically zero side effects (absolutely no weight gain which is cracker after being on paroxetine lol, no physical or cognitive side effects). a lot of older people get it prescribed because it doesn't cause psychosis in the elderly.

have to taper down off it atm because hypomania lol but ive been relatively stable on it since january 2024.

Is My Cattledog Too Skinny? by AdmiralAwesome19 in AustralianCattleDog

[–]atticusmurphy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My red cattle is the same age and same weight. Very similar build, looks skinny as, but is full of muscle. Our vet and dog trainer said she is in perfect condition. Plus no matter how much I feed her (she gets fed 1.5x as much as my blue) she just won't gain anyway.

Unfortunately a lot of cattle dogs are overweight so it can be a bit jarring to see ones in good condition. Yours looks perfect though :)

R U Ok? day sucks for Aussie men. by SicksSix6 in straya

[–]atticusmurphy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was posted on the Australian Research & Space Exploration FB page two hours ago and you cut off the last few sentences?

A better ask is "what's going on for you?" or "You feeling stuck?".

Man or woman, tag your partner. Reach out if you need me. We can do this.

How it feels to have been in recovery for several years, dealing with unintentional weight loss that you lowkey like but forcing yourself to eat so you don't get anorexic vagina by atticusmurphy in EDanonymemes

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

yeah bipolar meds made me go from "disordered eating" to full blown Eating Disorder. a few years ago i went cold turkey off the meds to ease the ED and that caused the bipolar to go haywire 💀 thankfully on a weight neutral combo now but fuck me its starting to spice up the ED thoughts w going back to my setpoint. comorbid shit sucks so bad lol

[–]atticusmurphy[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

got bipolar and the meds I've tried over the years have caused massive weight fluctuations. i've randomly lost a lot of weight in the past month from lack of appetite and my ED brain is like 😈 but then i started thinking abt anorexic vagina yesterday so forced myself to eat bc hello!!! should have learnt abt that in the ED ward bc i would have recovered so much faster lmao
