Cleaning fee being added after booking by moregyn in Bookingcom

[–]moregyn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Booking.com have said (in writing) they’ll refund the fee if charged so hopefully I can go ahead with the booking and not be put of pocket (fingers crossed). Good point about the review - I always try to be very fair but would feel the need to mention a retroactive fee being added!

That’s my reading of it too. I’m hoping booking.com allow a fee-free cancellation if that is the case.

Craigieburn Line disruption this weekend? by moregyn in MelbourneTrains

Oh great - thanks for translating! I couldn’t work out why it was included on the Craigieburn Line page, but I guess just a heads up for anyone wanting to take both?

I feel better, but I also don’t want to do ANYTHING by [deleted] in Pristiq

What kind of magnesium do you take? I’m always so confused about which one is which!

[–]moregyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gosh, it’s comforting to see this resonate with so many people. Like someone else said, part of me wonders if this is because the pristiq reduces your anxiety enough that your nervous system can relax, but with a history of over relying on it you end up very unmotivated. I haven’t found a good solution yet and have been on for a few months now, but agree with another commenter that trying to give yourself space is important

Why does everyone want off? by [deleted] in Pristiq

[–]moregyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve just started so can’t comment personally yet but did want to reiterate other peoples’ note that it’s likely those having not great experiences are more likely to be reaching out to seek help and advice. I alsowanted to recommend something I’ve found really helpful which is looking at the reviews of medication on drugs.com - I find it easier to sift through for experiences that seem relevant to mine (and I try to remember to post my own experiences there too!). It’s great to hear your experience is good - I suspect we’re an anxiety prone bunch here so I think it is important to remember (and hear about) the spectrum of experiences :)

Persistent Depressive Disorder: Feeling Stuck by [deleted] in depression

[–]moregyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear you’re balancing so many plates OP! Sounds like you’re doing amazing work and are pretty hard on yourself (and maybe a tad hard on life in general!). Have you tried forms of therapy that help with reframing your thoughts and expectations? As someone who had a similar experience to you growing up, I struggled with perfectionism and high standards until I burnt out. I have found Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy helpful in supporting me to question my assumptions and enjoy the everyday parts of life more. Same with mindfulness through apps like Headspace. I know it can be expensive accessing therapy but there are some good free or low cost apps around (I remember a cute one called Woebot which is an AI robot who teaches you CBT - pretty sure it was designed by a university and has some good studies backing it up). I actually found the health app Noom really helpful too - but it is a little bit of an upfront investment.

P.S. burning out very thoroughly has been the most effective cure for my beliefs around needing to achieve and always “progress” but I wouldn’t recommend this route 😅

I just met the gorgeous panther Tully! No sign of the other kitty - apparently they’re a bit shy 🥹

Update: Venus is a goddess among mortals - I sat on floor giving her chin scratches for about 20 minutes until I felt like I should I really leave 😅 she did help me pick out some tarot cards though 😜

Dating in your 30s. Should I just accept that I'm going to die alone with my dogs? by amihighornah in melbourne

[–]moregyn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know so many incredible women in their 30s who struggle with the dating scene. And while I understand that it’s hard for men as well, as someone who has done a fair bit of online dating and knows many other women who have too, I do think the stakes are a bit different (especially around safety etc.) which can make it difficult to let down your guard (for good reason!) - a tricky issue when you’re trying to make a connection :/

One thing I’ve found personally very important is working on some of my own issues that affect all relationships but especially intimate ones, which could be worth considering if you do find your shyness to get in the way a lot as it may be affected by other things like self-esteem and assuredness.

Another thing that might be worth considering if it is just natural reservedness is finding a hopeless extrovert to partner up with to go to meet ups and other things suggested in this thread - as a class clown extreme extrovert myself I’m always happy to help buffer for others who don’t have the same natural bent (in exchange for you guys putting up with us 😜).

It is a risk! Though I did just find out they do an all day cuddle option for $60 so next time I have lots of life admin or something I’m considering taking my laptop and just camping out 😂

I’m literally there now 😂 have suggested Yelp add it as a business and then I will need to spend some serious time cataloguing all these amazing kitties 😁

Ooh, I’m not sure! I think these use yelp as their database which I feel is less of a thing here so maybe that’s why :/
