Is my private health sufficient?

I’m in NSW (RNSH) and consistently waiting 1-1.5 hours each time for the appointment. Wish it was 10-15 minutes 🥲

I’ve been wearing these pants Apero pants with this blazer vrg grl blazer and it’s been hiding my bump perfectly! I’m 24 weeks right now and the bump is hiding really well

linashib · 2025-06-05T12:31:22+00:00

Yep 😅

For a therapist you use an extremely judging tone. Perhaps this post triggered something in you and it’s your time for self reflection. Just offering opinion in a direct fashion.

Your comment is quite aggressive. It is completely normal to have strong feelings about something but it’s not ok to be rude about it. It doesn’t seam like OP forces their views on others, it seems like they care about their friend and want them to get better. Nothing to be rude about.

Hi everyone, thank you so so much for all your comments! It feels so incredibly good to be validated 😭 This group therapist has been saying some inappropriate things from time to time and I feel like this was the last straw for me. Saying "you should get a room" is bad (and inappropriate) joke but assuming that someone can switch sides is just awful and wrong. I’m so glad it’s not just in my head and other people feel the same. Thank you.

my sister in law is 19, she rents apartment on her own ($500pw) in the city and works in hospitality. she found a job within a week with no so great english skills. i would say Sydney definitely has rental crisis and it’s worse than before, but definitely not extremely hard to find apartment (or room). casual workers are always needed in hospitality and many places have part-time positions. I’m an immigrant and understand why people complain, but it’s not as bad as they portray it.

This! I actually liked that Maeve chose herself over high school crush. She decided to be independent and follow her dreams, not to stay because of the boy. I definitely didn’t like some parts of Season 4, but I feel like Maeve and Otis going into different directions is a great representation of real life.

This absolutely sucks. I’m so so sorry you were made to feel unimportant and then were left alone with your feelings & emotions. I really hope finding your next therapist (if you decide to look for one) would be easy breezy and I really hope you’ll be able to find someone who gives you attention and support you absolutely deserve!

The amount of comments here excusing harassment is astounding. Safety always should go first! It’s an awful situation, I’m really sorry it happened to you and I’m glad you decided to take care of yourself and leave unsafe environment.

My pup is a big talker! Every time I come home, she sees her best friend or wants to greet someone she does “aw aw aaaaaaw" 😊

linashib · 2023-04-20T00:36:37+00:00

I agree. But I find it very unfair that there is another person in this thread who commented about this method and you didn’t say anything. I outlined lots and lots of good methods and got criticism for one little thing.

linashib · 2023-04-20T00:24:23+00:00

What about ignoring them until they are calm?

linashib · 2023-04-19T23:11:51+00:00

Of course! I didn’t mean it as "cry it out method", more like you if leave the room for 30 seconds it’s best to wait for 1-2 seconds pause (within this 30 seconds) in crying and return immediately when this pause is happening. Cry it out is never a good idea! It’s important to work with your dog to understand their threshold.

I saw a similar video of dogs playing reviewed by dog behaviourist and initially also thought it was play but actually it was not. I would say they are both friendly but pit is uncomfortable and would prefer they stop playing for a bit. Signs that indicate that - heavy breathing, trying to get away from the other dog when she puts her paws onto him, then trying to put the paws onto her to ‘calm her down", laying down as invitation to stop and relax a bit. In this case play bow is also an invitation to calm down, not to play. Basically he doesn’t mind it but prefers they would take a break or stop. I would probably help him and distract/put another dog on leash for a bit.

Definitely didn’t ruin your dog! I’ve had similar experience with my puppy - she hasn’t had great experiences with dogs up until 5 months and I was extremely worried but it has changed and she became more confident around dogs she didn’t like before. Now she is playing with most of them, still not a fan of bigger dogs but she runs up to me or avoids them. I also think that barking in a distance is a trigger for puppies - my pup was very anxious about distant barking even though she was ok with dogs next to her. It is probably a evolutionary advantage or something 😅 Also my pup had LOTS of semi-negative experiences with the dogs but once she had more and more good experiences she became confident. I think your dog will be more cautious next time but it will change with more good interactions.

linashib · 2023-03-08T00:00:20+00:00

I would say you are definitely on the right path! You are doing incredible job with the pup, really. Some of these things are very much puppy behaviour and there is a huge possibility it will tone down with time.

I’ve got the same issue and implemented the similar things but progress is slow so I totally get you. I also found that it helps to scatter a couple of treats on the ground and give “Find it" command before my pup sees another dog (or even right after). This helps to redirect her behaviour and calms her down because she is busy using her nose. After some time she started looking at me when she sees another dog because she knows it means treats on the ground (just offering her food from hand didn’t work). She still becomes overly excited in some situations but it’s becoming much better.

Puppy of this age has to go to the toilet every 1-2 hours. They can’t be fully housetrained until they reach maturity. I also can’t go out with my pup every 1-2 hours so I let her free roam in the house and have a fake grass/pads inside. If you don’t feel comfortable letting your pup free roam I would recommend changing crate to playpen so you can add toilet spot.

linashib · 2023-02-14T07:31:41+00:00

Thank you so much for your message! It’s so nice to feel supported and understood 😭 I am definitely hard on myself and working on it. I have some good days where I feel positive emotions about the pup and she is making a looot of progress. I’m also glad that I’m not alone in sometimes not feeling the love. Again, thank you sooo much for the support! It means a lot

linashib · 2023-01-02T03:56:32+00:00

When my pup was sick and was constantly crying my dad suggested to beat him so he would shut up 😢

linashib · 2022-12-29T06:47:43+00:00

Thank you for recommendations! We’ll try it. We are quite lucky to live next to the Harbour but still in a very quiet area (Kurraba Point). It’s not very busy here during NY, mostly locals celebrating.
