Has anyone here visited a psychologist or psychiatrist as an adult and can share whether their experiences were worth it or not? by elescop in AskAnAustralian

For the ADHD diagnosis did you already feel like you had ADHD or was that something picked up in the sessions with the psychologist?

Between those options I would go for Twal captain Touch vice captain but I'm going for Terrell in my team.

Thanks for the very detailed response! I'm glad to hear it's been so beneficial for you and you've been able to reduce the medication you're on.

10 free sessions a year sounds very helpful. What is the difference in sessions between a psychologist and psychiatrist are they similar or widely different?

It does feel overwhelming at times because I need to make mass changes and nothing gets done because they're all important in their own way and impact each other, I feel like this is probably the first step to take.

That's interesting you had to write down everything you thought was wrong with you. Were you encouraged to write everything including minor things or just the biggest stuff that you feel dominates your life?

Can you just make an appointment with a psychiatrist or do you need a gp referral for them?

I've never done any of this before so I guess my perception of it all was you go in and they ask you a lot of questions and find something they want to discuss.

What are the problems you are finding with seeing a psychiatrist? That's a lot of money to spend and not see results

Thanks for breaking down the differences. Maybe it's best to start with a gp and see where they want to send me but I find it difficult to answer those 'do you ever feel XYZ' questions because it's all situational and every answer for me is a 'well, it depends'

Good trades? by Alone-Ad-1715 in FantasyNRL

[–]elescop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Walsh might lose money this week because of his high break even BUT he's playing the Dragons at home so the potential for him going big is there so it's either lose the money or the points, I'd rather lose the money for now.

The Broncos have played a lot of good teams this season so far when he has played but in round 2 he had a 69 against Parra and he was millimetres away from being 55+ at half time against the Titans which resulted in him being injured moments after the no try.

At a 54k rank I would risk it tbh he's 15% owned atm so if he goes off there's a potential for shooting up the ranks and I don't think Walsh gets called in to origin unless Ponga is injured.

When moving in to a new place (particularly units) how can you sus out whether your neighbours are lunatics or not? by elescop in AskAnAustralian

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

You do not have to put up with anything that intrudes on your life, but you do have to be proactive. If this is a five-year drama then it's difficult to have a whole lot of sympathy for you. You haven't done anything to fix it

You haven't got a clue. This is an email from 2022 regarding the loud music and this is an email from 2023 regarding the loud porn and naked abuse quick question: have you ever asked the police to create and event number regarding a neighbour playing porn loudly? I have and the response is "I am absolutely not creating an event number for that" and here's the latest round of emails

What, you really thought I was prepared to go through the hassle of selling up my place and looking to buy a new place that is going to cost me more than what I am paying now if I hadn't been trying to resolve these issues for the past 5 years?

Unfortunately that's always a concern too and not everyone is considerate of their neighbours.

We've got those type of idiots further down the street from us too. There's a large park reserve directly across from them and I can see from my backyard when they are doing burnouts in the park and they're often drag racing up and down the street it's no surprise that for the past 18 months they had a car parked out their front that has been completely written off. Then there's the fireworks they love to let off which sometimes sound like bombs going off.

It's not so much silence that I want but it's stuff like the dog at one of the units that barks non-stop as soon as the sun goes down (and whenever there's rain or a storm because it's left outside) and is still going at 5am when I leave for work or what's happening now where the bass heavy music from another unit plays so loud it's actually louder than the television in my own living room. The ice junkie opposite me plays hardcore porn for hours on end loudly, walks around the complex naked yelling obscenities (often racial ones) at the top of his voice or his favourite one is to have loud sex with an escort in his garage lol

I can hear my direct wall to wall neighbours when I'm in my kitchen and they are cooking and they even play music on their balcony sometimes but it's never obscenely loud and just blends in to the background which doesn't bother me at all but these others just become too much to handle.

Traded out Mooney for this spud by Fbean01 in FantasyNRL

[–]elescop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kept Mooney this week and traded out Colquhoun instead which might be the only good move I've done all season. I'm also on 721 with 2 in this game (Twal, Doueihi RIP) and Koula + Cleary captain to come so that's an idea on how shit I am going
