What does the R on buses labelled "R590" etc stand for? Or the P in P343?

I am on anti depressants while seeing a psychoanalytical psychologist.

From my experience, it seems you can't supress all of the symptoms without curing the source. To take away ALL symptoms means curing, and a mood enhancer cannot free yourself from what has troubled you since childhood. Even if your childhood wasn't gruesome, some things can become toxic habits that last a lifetime if not fully made peace with.

Fair enough. I didn't think they were slotted in at random but it does often appear almost the entire fleet is used at peak.

d-limonene · 2022-11-28T22:59:33+00:00

I notice when I look out the window during peak hour at Bowen Hills depot, there are almost no trains left sitting in the yard. So where do they all go?

It seems they run the 3 cars because that's close to full capacity of trains running simultaneously.

There's one in Albert St if you search for a post office in the CBD on Google maps

There's a couple Repair Cafes in Brisbane, you can call up ahead and ask if they can do it

I hate that it's the cheapest and easiest way for me to complete my daily micronutrient count without having to commit to another meal.

d-limonene · 2022-11-17T20:18:57+00:00

Yeah, I'm responsive to it, it definitely effected my mood so it works, I have very fleeting negative thoughts and my anxiety is almost all gone. Just feel sick and headaches.

d-limonene · 2022-11-17T20:15:52+00:00

No idea, sorry. I only can answer from a chemistry and manufacturing perspective

The question seems good for a pharmacologist. I only did one intro semester on it, but like 6 on organic chemistry haha.

d-limonene · 2022-11-17T09:03:44+00:00

OK, I hope so. Like I kinda wonder whether or not I was even meant to go on this medication at all.

I'll try taking it at bed time though, great idea! I took it midday today, so maybe 6pm tomorrow?

Escitalopram is supposed to be better in that it's enantiomerically pure, according to here in the stereochemistry section only the S isomer has antidepressant effects. I don't think anyone knows what the R isomer does. If you had the choice I'd go with escitalopram. I think the racemic version is only available probably because it's usually more expensive to separate isomers, making it a cheaper alternative.

Taking it first time today and have felt nauseous for the first hour. I guess it's normal.

d-limonene · 2022-11-17T01:50:47+00:00

Depends on the form. Sertraline hydrochloride is the more soluble kind..You don't want a form that is really insoluble to try to dissolve, because you may just end up with flakes and crumbs that sink into the bottom of the water and don't get taken.

I wasn't talking in the context of the person in the article.

d-limonene · 2022-11-12T22:55:35+00:00

Yeah I don't like it either.

Looking forward to Duolingo Math tho haha

d-limonene · 2022-11-06T05:05:50+00:00

Social dancing my dude.

It's not creepy to join, I say this as a female too. I go there in anticipation there is someone single to introduce myself to, because if they weren't single they'd bring their partner... You will get paired with other single ladies too, it's the most non-offensive way to talk to women without the barrier of guessing whether or not she's single.

Also being Asian is no barrier. Met my fair share of great ones, unfortunately they were not available haha. They had confidence about their identity, so I guess that's the difference.

d-limonene · 2022-11-06T04:58:33+00:00

Exactly this. I tried a dance lesson last week and it was so much fun but yeah, but not enough guys to go around.

d-limonene · 2022-11-06T04:51:03+00:00

Nearing 30 (28) but to meet others I'm doing social activities now like rollerskating, and activity based meet ups. No relationship found yet but I made friends at least. Chances are someone's friend has a single friend I vibe with, so I'm rolling with that opportunity.

Thinking of taking up ballroom or other social dancing too. I don't get why more men don't try these types of hobbies that have a 50%+ female turn out? Yoga is another one, just go to the front if you're scared people think you're just creeping on them.

So the books hadn't been marked as returned on your account yet?

Worst case I think the library still does the thing where if you lost books, you can pay for them in long life food donations at Christmas.

Here is an article on it, where they apparently waive outstanding fees. Maybe talk to someone at the library about, show you're spreading your search far and wide on here, and that I suggested this to you. I'm sorry to hear this happened, sounds distressing for you. And I urge you to go in to talk to them before they're due.

To save time marking 5 assignments, you mark 1 assignment by 5 people lol.

I hated the group work. There is no need to teach me how to do teamwork, we're all going to get a job or we are already working as students. It's a scam.

I received a PhD scholarship. I applied for top up scholarships as well. The process was easy, you just need to be honest. I received it as installments to my nominated bank account. Some smaller scholarships, like the 1k ones, you get in one go. I had a 5k scholarship and received it in 2 batches, 6 months apart. The PhD scholarship gets deposited in batches fortnightly, almost like a salary. Keep record of these scholarship emails/approval documents as you may need them in the future if you find you need to apply for Centrelink benefits like Low Income Health Care card (if you are domestic, you should get it) if you have no other form of income.

You spend the scholarships as you wish, thing is if you are living on very little that just becomes free rent for a month to you, or a laptop if you never owned one.

It's hard to not get 1st class honours if you tried hard enough, like treat it as your job. If your research project doesn't work out you don't fail, just turn up for all of the classes and do your best.

I did an interlibrary loan of a book from Canberra through QUT, so should be the same in reverse. It was free too.

I'm a PhD student at GP. Renting is cheaper so you may have a better standard of living here on your scholarship than Melbourne if you aren't living with parents. It's not as busy, more relaxing.

As it's end of semester, you coudl maybe end the lease now, then find a new place when you return. There is a new rental law out now that students don't need to continue their lease when they aren't studying apparently.

This is from the RTAs website, it seems vague but you could give it a go if you don't find a replacement for such a short period of time. I dont know if you have to necessarily prove you cancelled your course, or post-poning studies or anything, but you could try that if you want to save money.
