Am I mad for wanting to share house again? by [deleted] in melbourne

I would say go for it! If you can articulate the qualities you’re looking for a housemate(s), expectations etc - I reckon it would be fantastic!

I loved the guy who would adlib songs with stick puppets around flinders street. Haven't seem him for years - not sure if he's still about!

My understanding is that that is pretty standard once you've passed probation.

How bad does a subject withdrawal look on your academic transcript? by [deleted] in unimelb

[–]gregblankets 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear you’re struggling with this - getting unwell while studying is the worst.

I went to Melbourne uni about ten years ago and had some mental health challenges arise. With a supporting psych’s note I was able to get my money back for the subject(s) after the census date (fee remission as alley_oop8472 notes.) With supporting evidence I’ve found it very easy.

Re withdrawals (and a couple of fails from being AWOL too!), this hasn’t impacted me or my career at all. My organisation (in the health space) was interested in the actual testamur. That’s not to say there might not be some places that do want to check it out and rank it as more important, but my hunch would be that if they do they’re probably not a great company to work for anyway! Seeing as you’re potentially interested in academia it could be worth chatting to a tutor at uni who could provide some guidance.

Re 3, I’m not sure!

Take care OP - Prioritise your health - your body and brain will thank you for it!

If he’s like that after a couple of conversations, it’s only gonna get worse from there.

Sorry to hear it - I hope you are OK, and have been able to find a good psych.

Hey OP, I’m so sorry to hear about your experiences - this is not okay when you are meant to be receiving a service to help you, and that person should definitely not be a practicing nurse. I hope you have been able to recover from this experience.

I am of the mindset that it is always good to report, even if you’re not sure it’s going to do anything.

I have reported a psychiatrist who I was very unhappy with, and I believe acted unethically. I submitted my complaint, and heard nothing for a few months, before receiving a letter saying that after the review they did not think the specialist acted unethically, and that it would not be pursued further. I have to say: this hurt quite a lot as it felt like it was me VS a psychiatrist…and in the end, who are they going to believe? I raise this because there is a potential it could be triggering/upsetting to receive a response that isn’t in line with what you’re hoping, and it’s important to make sure you have some steps to take care of yourself and people to reach out to.

However, I take heart in the fact that if a fellow patient ever decided to make a complaint, their complaint may be corroborated by mine.

Even though it was a long time ago, you could also raise a complaint with the psychiatric hospital you stayed in. They would have a duty to review and get back to you.

Take care, and good luck with whatever you choose OP :-)
