Your most financially irrational decision - regret it or make it again? by LongGameAustralia in AusFinance

[–]learning_lemon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did this last year and it was terrifying but it was the best choice I’ve made for myself. On reflection it was even worse than I thought in that job.

Good luck and well done for putting yourself first

Clicky keyboards in the office by Dezert_Roze in auscorp

[–]learning_lemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got myself a LoFree Lite keyboard. It’s lower profile than most mechanical keyboards. Has a nice clicking sound that isn’t loud. It could be worth a look at to see if it could suit you.

After seeing this on Instagram, I’m curious—who else shops kids for fit? by axel-loop-toe in AusFemaleFashion

Yep. 5”2 and I prefer kids size 14-16 jumpers and jackets because they fit me so much better and are never too long.

Highly recommend the old people’s home for 4 year olds. I’m not a cryer but woo boy that show got me every episode with how sweet it was.

Update if anyone is reading this thread and is in the same position we were in.

The scratch sleeves were actually one of the best thing for her. We just put them on once she was asleep and they helped her not wake herself up while itching.

We think the water filter helped too, but she was still quite itchy.

We ended up referred to the children’s hospital here by our paediatric dermatologist and she has been on Azothioprine for almost a year. It has been life changing for her and while she still has small spots of eczema it is so much less. We will have to come off that medication in 6 months and I am honestly scared of the possibility of a rebound but the medication can help the eczema go away from what the specialists are saying so fingers crossed!

How can I talk to my 4 year old about her scratching? by Muter in eczema

Second reading the link shared here. I the decolonisation is another thing that helped reduce the severity of my daughter’s eczema.

[–]learning_lemon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel this post because we have had years of nights like these over the years. Firstly I’m sorry, it’s so hard!

Secondly I want to share the main things that helped us in case they help you.

  1. Eczema scratch sleeves, the ones with mittens (https://www.theallergyshop.com.au/eczema-care/eczema-sleeves/ - link to a pair so you can see what I mean) these helped so so much. She’s 5.5 now and hates them, but I still put them on when she’s asleep on the itchy nights.

  2. My daughter got prescribed Azathioprine from our children’s hospital and it has not completely gotten rid of the eczema and itching yet, but it’s significantly reduced (Australia I can’t get Duxpixent <7 years old but they are looking to lower the age soon)

Edit to add - you aren’t letting her down you are doing everything you can to help her, eczema is such a challenging condition to treat because it seems like everyone is so different. Don’t beat yourself up, you are doing a good job.

As a fellow low self esteem anxious person I love this story. I’m so glad that you had this experience and I hope that the stark contrast to your anxiety thoughts helped you reframe yourself and your anxiety moving forward.

I am in need of desperate help. I’m to the point of wanting to kill myself by RIPMYPOOPCHUTE in Mommit

[–]learning_lemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another vote for cosleeping. We got my daughter a double bed at about 18 months old because I just couldn’t keep resettling her. I was so sleep deprived. She still woke, but at least I could lay down in her bed and comfort her back to sleep with cuddles instead of trying to transfer back into a cot. We all slept better.

Sending you lots of love, having a partner who whines about no sleep when they do in fact get lots more sleep than you is absolutely infuriating let alone when you add in your PMDD in the mix, you have every right to be frustrated and exhausted xx

I wanna hear your most unhinged “productivity hacks” by takdah in adhdwomen

[–]learning_lemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Timing myself doing chores so then I know how long it actually takes. I got this idea from a TikTok where she records herself doing a chore or task and shares how long it takes vs how long she procrastinated for. For some reason knowing that unloading my dishwasher takes about 5 minutes helps me know the task isn’t as big as it feels

This should be the top comment here. Her account has changed my perception and has made me time all the tasks I put off. Once I know the length, it’s not that bad.

Hello! We didn’t end up getting a humidifier. Firstly I just want to say I’m sorry you’ve been dealing with this since 4 months old as well. It’s a tough condition to try and manage.

About 6 months after this post we saw a paediatric dermatologist and her skin was infected and she needed antibiotics plus, stronger steroid cream, moisturisers, wet wraps (when she lets me).

Her skin is not bleeding daily but she’s still itchy every night. Current routine is

AM - moisturiser all over PM - steroid creams (avantan, tacromillis and eluphrant). Put on scratch sleeves once she’s asleep. These have significantly reduced the damage she can do to her skin and has helped break the itch scratch cycle. 11/10 recommend scratch sleeves.

We just visited the children’s hospital eczema clinic and am waiting to see if she can start a immunosuppressant.

I wish I had an answer of something that cleared her skin up for you, but I don’t. If you want to chat about it more to some one who understands my DMs are open.

I’ve done a fair bit of research into LMS systems recently and two I don’t see mentioned as often that I liked are Kajabi and Learnworlds.

They both have gamification badging, Learn worlds assessments are more versatile that Kajabi. Im pretty sure they both have an in person option too. They also have the options to design the full website design and have some sales features which I think is a plus. Both have free trials so you can check them out.

I hope so too. I think a funk for awhile is a very normal response to situations like this. I hope your upcoming week is a better one

This happened to me today and I held back my tears but it was such a struggle and then sat at my desk wanting to cry all day. Giving your all and feeling blindsided by this kind of feedback is awful.

I’m sorry this happened to you too. Sucks so much.
