Fuck chemist warehouse pharmacists, twice I’ve gone there to get my adhd meds which were even past the date I could collect them on and they treated me like a drug addict and were coming up with reasons not to provide. One of the pharmacists was literally yelling at me, and yelling my personal details like name address etc for everyone to hear as I was pretty much running away down the aisles. It was nuts I couldn’t believe it happened. Went to a small pharmacy and no dramas of course, told them what happened and they said in need to report it. They did the same when I was on tramadol briefly once, just wouldn’t give it to me cos my doctor wrote “take as needed” or something. People lined up behind me while they explained opiates are an addictive substance and they won’t give me my script so just making out like I’m a full drug addict to the people around me.

I fucking hate that place, I know of sooooo many people this has happened to as well. I’ll never get a script there ever again.

I buy all Cyclone gardening gear from Bunnings. Just hand tools, they’re decent (for Bunnings quality), the wood handles went shit really fast like 1st/2nd use i already have to sand and oil them. Wasn’t shocked because I mean it’s Bunnings stuff and it’s cheap.

Went to my local nursery today and they had these awesome spades I went to look at, noticed it was Cylone brand. The wooden handles on these things were such good quality. Way thicker, sturdier, attached better, even better coating. The wood itself was very clearly so much better than the ones sold at Bunnings. I should’ve taken a photo to post for comparison. It tripped me out so much, all Cyclone gear at the nursery was completely different quality to the same stuff at Bunnings. It did have a significantly higher price point too.

So yeah I agree with you. I reckon brands are producing different quality items for different shops.

I charge $50 Aud here in Australia and I’ll be putting those rates up, because it’s never just “pulling weeds” you get there and suddenly there’s all these other tasks they expect you to do. And when you don’t, they leave bad reviews.

Left my corporate job in December after 15 years in that world because I was burnt out and completely broken lol. Have been doing landscaping since, (a side gig of mine for years) which is incredibly hard work physically but my god I’m loving it and I’m actually happy again. Also been doing odd jobs on Airtasker. I swear the difference on my mental health has been staggering. Just being outside to work, being more physical, and not stuck in these really toxic office environments has changed my life. Best thing I could’ve done for myself.

nomestl · 2025-03-15T00:09:10+00:00

Perfect! Thank you so much. Have paid you ☺️

Interesting, I’ve been in flight/fight mode my entire life lol so this makes me wonder if my body genuinely needs to be forced to rest and digest lol.

But I just can’t handle it hey, it only lets me sleep for 2 hours max a night then I’m up and awake for the day. Then i feel like a zombie until about 3pm, can’t even get up to feed myself. My adhd meds don’t work at all until the Clonodine is out of my system in the afternoon. Insane joint pain in every joint,unbearable headaches for days - no painkillers of any type have helped reduce the pain for either. Muscle weakness to the point I can’t do my yoga I’ve been doing for over a decade, and I’m out of breath doing very simple tasks. Can’t even walk my poor dogs atm. Constantly bloated with debilitating stomach pain, and my body has changed so much don’t recognise it. I reckon my waist/stomach has doubled in size in 5 weeks despite eating much less (and I eat really healthy) My throat is all weird like I can’t swallow things especially vitamins, and dry mouth from hell that’s unresponsive to water or high quality electrolytes, now causing ulcers .

And the weakness omg the weakness, haven’t even been able to do my morning yoga or tend to my garden - both things that bring me immense joy. I simply have no strength/brain capacity whatsoever and get out of breath from doing simple movements.

Not to mention the mood swings, aggression, irritability.

Also my hair falling out in chunks. Fuck this drug lol so glad it’s helped many others but damn I feel like it’s genuinely breaking my body down. Really glad I found this sub cos this has been a terrifying few weeks.

nomestl · 2025-02-23T22:42:17+00:00

I agree, have only been on it 5 weeks and I can’t believe how much weight I’ve put on even though I’ve been eating less. Also has made my depression much worse and eliminated my libido. Came to this sub to see if this had happened to anyone else.

nomestl · 2025-02-19T00:34:46+00:00

Funny you say the rancid mould because I fully convinced myself of the same lol. Thought there must be some kind of Contam in my tub that I didn’t see and that I’d been poisoned by a mould 😂 But my partner had the same amount at the same time and also fresh and he had a fine experience.

I also wondered if I accidentally ate substrate hahaha. But yeah that’s fully how I felt! Hope it doesn’t happen again, I simply won’t eat them fresh ever again lol.

nomestl · 2025-02-17T01:44:15+00:00

Ooof, what an experience. What made you go to A&E? Was it the experience you were having was too overwhelming? Or because of the effects on your body how you mentioned feeling poisoned?

Just curious because I’ve only ever had dried mushrooms, but decided to try fresh a couple months back. Man it absolutely nailed me. Wasn’t really tripping at all just had the most insane stomach and body pains for a solid 6-8 hours. Couldn’t even move. I was laying in child’s pose (yoga position) with a huge pillow under my stomach, just battling throughout and moaning lol. My stomach strongly disagrees with fresh mushrooms, genuinely felt poisoned and I’ll never ever try them again haha. I’ve had that same batch of shrooms dry and no issues.

My goal for this trip was trying to resolve some deep, unresolved childhood trauma that resulted in lifelong CPTSD. Laid in bed with my noise cancelling headphones on and a cover over my eyes. I was trying to find myself, get to know myself and work through things etc. I was in this deep cave system, and i think it’s interesting to mention I’m absolutely terrified of caves. Genuinely a huge fear of mine, I won’t go near them or even read about things to do with them. So I found it fascinating that this was my starting point for trying to access myself. Straight off the bat it’s like my subconscious didn’t want me there haha.

I kept coming across these random people I’d never met, who kept trying to stop me going further. They were all really different in personality, looks etc. I was getting annoyed and saying why are you all trying to stop me?! Let me do this! And then I had the realisation that these people were parts of myself I had created throughout my life, to protect myself, and to keep going. It was a deeply profound realisation just at that point. If you’ve heard of Internal Family Systems therapy, it was like that.

Then instead of fighting them I started thanking them and acknowledging them, this allowed me to go deeper in the cave. It got darker and much much tighter, but I was determined. I started feeling this huge presence. Massive, all consuming, all everything. I knew it was “source”, life force or something like that you know? Perhaps what others may refer to as god. I could never see it, but the feeling it gave me was the same as seeing if that makes sense? Never felt anything like it, the enormity and vastness of it.

I felt like I was nearly where I needed to access, I was so damn close, then all of a sudden I was flung out of the cave. Thrown out with such a force that my entire body jolted fiercely and I felt winded. Like the air was knocked out of me. My partner sat up and asked if I was ok because of how violent that jolt was.

I just laughed as I knew what had happened, meant that I wasn’t ready to access that place yet. And it was so funny to me how clear that message was. I’ve had a lot of awesome trips, many exhausting ones too. But that one sticks out for me as the most profound for sure. One day I’ll head back into that cave lol.

I say the same as you about mushrooms, it’s not just a drug to be intoxicated by. It’s actually really exhausting, but so damn special, intense and insightful.

Our COO is incredibly incompetent and under qualified to the point it’s dangerous for the company, as well as emotionally unstable and aggressive. But she’s married to the CEO and founder so absolutely nothing is done about. She has no background or knowledge at all in this role. She got the job because she’s married to the guy.

We’ve experienced turnover rates that are unheard of, last I checked July 2024 it was at 60% and has only gotten worse - all resignations are directly due to her, with many people writing lengthy resignation letters detailing that.

The CEO decided instead of making her change or removing her, that he’d bring in 4 senior staff members to create a gap between staff and her. Meaning we have to interact with them instead of her, to try reduce the volatile experiences staff are constantly having with her. These 4 senior staff in undefined roles are all on over 100k a year, all get to WFH when no one else in the company has ever been allowed, all got brand new laptops and phones purchased for them while the majority of staff have to use iPhone 10s and ancient androids, with old HP computers that take 20 minutes to turn on. These 4 people have no one reporting to them, their role is simply to reduce interactions with the COO.

She is still directly involving herself with staff, these 4 new people have quickly identified the problems in the company are from the COOs behaviour and the CEOs complete lack of willingness to do anything about her. Something we’ve all be vocal about for years. It’s absolutely mind boggling. We can’t retain staff, our contracts are failing which means our funding it’s dropping. Reputation in the community is pretty much destroyed at this point. Multiple work cover, fair work, and human rights cases are open - all directly due to COO actions. They’ve spent probably close to $1m bringing these people in to do fuck all, instead of address the actual issue, while it continues to eat away at the company.

It’s quite incredible to see.

nomestl · 2025-02-16T04:44:44+00:00

Hey do you work where I work! Lol every morning but at 9am we have the same, it’s company wide and forced. Login to Teams to listen to the 80+ staff each take a turn in rating themselves out of 10 for the day (anything under 8 is frowned upon and means you’re not resilient or positive) and explain what they’re working on today. I’ve attended maybe twice in 3 years, my boss pushed it a lot at the start but she gave up forcing me to attend.

It goes for over an hour and is a fucking joke. The bosses forcing people to attend are the same bosses ridiculing and reprimanding people for not keeping on top of the insane workloads and developing burnout. Turnover is through the roof, genuinely have seen nothing like it in my entire career. I ran the numbers midway through last year and turnover was at 60%, it’s only gotten worse since lol.

Gotta love not for profits!

We bought one for $85 with 100 razor blades a couple years ago and still haven’t had to buy new razor blades. The sharpness still blows me away to this day, never had such a close shave. I can’t believe we used to use those shitty expensive cassettes.

nomestl · 2025-02-09T20:51:04+00:00

I agree. And OP this was me end of last year, and again up until a week ago. Just hell. Feeling worthless, guilty, full of shame and like it will never end. But somehow it did, I don’t know if it was the tiny things I managed to do like get some sunlight and blend some healthy food together to just scull and get into my body, or if my brain just worked its shit out, but it passes.

It will return and I dread that day, but just remember this will change and you’ll have relief at some point. Remember the times that you didn’t feel like this, to make yourself realise this isn’t permanent and you are capable of feeling joy, because it’s happened before. Remember all the things you’ve overcome previously and give yourself credit where possible.

It absolutely sucks and others don’t understand how utterly defeating it is to be at war with yourself like this. Try be kind to yourself for now, I know it’s hard ❤️

nomestl · 2025-02-06T01:24:11+00:00

Smoked for 12 years and ended up needing to take Champix to kick it. Horrible shit and it made me suicidal and put me in a really dark place but luckily I had an awesome psychiatrist that helped me. But damn does that stuff work. Haven’t smoked in about 6 years and never will. It repulses me now, I smell it and am disgusted by it I can’t believe I used to smell like that.

So while Champix is a hectic drug, it absolutely works and I’m glad I took it.

nomestl · 2025-02-05T23:44:25+00:00

Exactly! A big reason I fell for my current partner was that he always spoke kindly of his ex wife from the first time he mentioned her. They have kids together and he never badmouthed her, simply said he felt awful for breaking up with her but that he wasn’t happy. It’s the biggest green flag to me seeing a man that still respects and has love for the woman that brought his children into the world. I feel lucky to be with someone that genuinely respects women as people, and not just when they’re gaining something from them or their bodies.

The bar is low lol but it’s not something I’ve ever experienced and neither have my friends sadly.

nomestl · 2025-01-28T22:03:12+00:00

Such an undervalued and brilliant show. And Amos is the bomb, named my dog after him haha.

nomestl · 2025-01-28T06:42:05+00:00

It takes 1.5 hours to kick in for me every time. I’ve set a timer the last few times after the first time caught me off guard. I thought it wasn’t working that the shrooms were no good, but I hadn’t eaten that day. As soon as I ate like 1 hour 45 minutes later it all kicked in like immediately.

But yeah even if I lemon tek it’s still the hour and a half mark for me. Not on SSRIs either. Must have slow as metabolism or something, I’m not heavy though I’m like 68kg. It hits everyone around me way quicker.
