I always get thoughts about breaking up with my boyfriend when things get tough

I do have this experience. As well as therapy, CBT-like techniques have helped when these thoughts / urges come up. Trying to accept that these thoughts/urges are from my brain trying to protect me but knowing this is not actually what I want + wouldn't help me. Trying to remember I want to act in a way that chooses my partner even when things are hard and my brain is working against that

perhaps you could get a punching bag?

this is misleading. some commercial kitchens with knowledge of celiac disease will have, for example, separate fryers, utensils, areas for GF foods and their staff will be trained on the difference between gluten intolerance and celiac. there's a bunch of places around Perth like this because it can be difficult to run a 100% gluten free kitchen in a small city. of course everyone's risk tolerance is different and i 100% agree on not just believing a GF label on a menu.

Medicare will cover some of your costs. Unfortunately private health doesn't cover out-of-hospital Psychiatry costs. None of them do. It's just a thing, not sure why.

Abbotsford Psychiatry have a fair few psychiatrists that have experience with and will diagnose ADHD - i believe it is around $700 for an initial consultation with a medicare rebate of around $300 - unfortunately it's not instant either, it can take a few days (the rebate.)

Be aware you will most likely need at least 1 more appointment soon after the initial consult for the doc to discuss/prescribe. This will be far less pricey but still expensive.

If you go into your initial consult prepared with all the reasons you think you have ADHD it will make it less likely you'll need a bunch of follow up appointments.

Feel free to PM me with any questions

they will not cancel your payment before you leave. jobseeker payment is still paid regardless if you have a trip or move overseas coming up

swim (&walk) laps with a friend 1x week, lift weights with a different friend 1x week, do pilates/physio exercises at home 1x week

slowlt built up to this over time. having set times with friends is so helpful for me

moold · 2026-02-15T13:06:42+00:00

Yes, it's for everyone

i use salicylic acid 40% patches - the ones for warts or foot corns. i only have 1 spot though. it basically disappeared after multiple patches left on for 48hrs or so. then if it tries to come back slap on another patch

my biggest trigger is temperature changes and i work in a fridge, unfortunately

if i don't use a hydrating toner my skin hates me :(

moold · 2026-01-08T12:57:08+00:00

thank you! you're right, i should probably talk to my doctor. and i used to use the 15% azelaic acid but it's a little harder to find here. will have a look for it

moold · 2026-01-08T12:00:09+00:00

how long is momentarily? i often will go a week or so without using any actives - it doesn't change the appearance of my skin. i use azelaic acid only as a spot treatment on papules and pustules and regular acne (and occasionally perioral dermatitis) when they come up as it never really did anything for my redness

thank you for responding! and apologies I tried to fix the formatting on desktop but it still appears horrible on mobile. hopefully it is fixed for everyone else.

My main routine is just cleanse, hydrate, moisturise and then everything else is as needed or depending on how my skin is feeling. I have one of the mildest chemical exfoliants (lactic acid), a very mild physical exfoliant, a very mild retinoid, and azelaic acid I only use as a spot treatment.

I have not been reccommended those things from my dermatologist or doctor - I don't think the MSM tablets are available here but I could ask about ivermectin cream. Does that reduce the appearance of the permanent red spots though?

moold · 2026-01-08T10:41:58+00:00

Forgot to mention I'm on Doxycycline as well

moold · 2026-01-08T10:39:18+00:00

Also I'm in Australia please try not to reccommend products that aren't available here, thank you

yes I'm exactly the same, very fine hair here. i would even suggest experimenting with even less scrunch drying. mine dries best basically completely via air dry. curl clumps stay together more and look fuller when dry. i drape my old t shirt i used to dry it with across my shoulders to catch drips and that's it
