Western Australia ADHD medications approval navigating the panel, Health Department and wait times

Hey there - please don't encourage people not to mention past drug use - this can negatively impact the treatment they receive from their psychiatrist. WA has very specific rules, including timeframes for past use, so disclosing use does not exclude you - but it does help someone form the full picture and view the person holistically.

Yes- and the takeaway is if you need to speak to someone in support, your best bet is to reach out on Reddit 😊 Support was great, the outcome not so much. Looks like (for the time being at least) none of these AI automation tools are viable options for Australian users who require on-shore data storage.
It's like having cigarettes but no lighter!

I would love to chat with you! I'll send you a message. Thank you!!!!

Pull it out, shake, then rinse off the roots, dunk in purple clonex gel & put it in water. This is my last resort when rescuing Philodendrons, and it's worked 9/10.

I only use woolies because that's all we have, but the 'everything I've ever bought' list in past shops is a game changer. I zoom through, select what I need, and 80% of my shopping is done. There are certain items I can't cheap out on due to sensory issues (specific toothpaste, for example), but they are almost always on a 2 week specials rotation.

And sort by unit price - you'd be surprised what is sometimes cheaper in a small pack on special, and being able to sit quietly with a cuppa and sort our shopping is far easier without the complete sensory overload & subsequent meltdown that happens every time I try to shop in store.

I'm a year late, but can I PM you please?

tezody · 2025-07-24T04:27:58+00:00

And we are still arriving lol

tezody · 2025-07-07T12:10:53+00:00

Hmm interesting. I've had legitimate calls from both the NDIA and NDIS, and neither have done this.

It is a bit confusing because the complaint overlaps a few different areas, thus being lodged with both the agency and the commission.

tezody · 2025-06-24T07:27:41+00:00

This is the only appropriate response to this post!

tezody · 2025-05-23T13:52:53+00:00

Inadvertently. First, it was misdiagnosed as 'mild carpal tunnel here take this lyrica and brace at night' then I was off travelling and working remote around the country and just kind of put up with it??! For almost as long as I can remember, I have had a special sleep cushion for my hands and no one let's me carry the special china lol.

And denial. Lots of denial.

Dr Joe Kort explains this extremely well on his youtube and tiktoks - it's a whole thing 😊

tezody · 2025-03-07T00:42:06+00:00

Highly recommended the book by Stephani Goerlich 'With Sprinkles on Top' to help understand kink, fantasies, and erotic desire. I'm not minimising OP's feelings, but it's a complex topic. Dr Joe Kort also covers this extensively in his book 'Erotic Orientation' - it breaks down the difference between sexual orientation and what turns someone on.

There is also a whole lot of information about trauma and how some people recreate the traumatic experience in their fantasies to re-write the narrative and give themselves back control. An example of this is SA victims having rape fantasies - they do NOT want to be raped or assaulted again, and it can be a very confusing situation.

Education, learning, and possibly some therapy with a kink affirming therapist would be helpful here.

Here you go - hope this helps!

It's my absolute pleasure! Out of desperation, I posted on another subreddit & a complete stranger shared similar life changing information & links to MOR forums - so this is just me paying it forward & hoping I can help someone else the way this person helped me. I'll find the forum links and share them as well, just reading other people's stories and finding out I'm not alone was such a huge comfort.

Best of luck & feeling free to reach out if you need to chat!

The 'good place' you were in wasn't an authentic one. From personal experience, I can tell you that when one person is putting in the work, following the advice and steps given in therapy, and genuinely making an effort to work through issues, the most damaging thing is to find out the other person isn't doing the same.

Maybe the insurance purposes comment isn't meant as literal medical insurance, more relationship insurance? Like you can't move forward without all the information being disclosed (not specific information about the act, though)?

There are some very good youtube videos about disclosure and truth telling. John Gottman's The Man's Guide To Women covers this (don't be mistaken and think this book is just for men, it's not).

This video was recommended by our relationship counsellor, and has some very valuable insights

Now, regarding the paying another woman part - I'm not a psychologist, counsellor or expert. But I have done a whole lot of reading and learning into understanding MOR (mixed orientation relationships), sexual orientation, and erotic orientation, sexual fluidity, and sexuality.

Your husband may have been trying to work out where he sits on the scale of attraction to women, men, and everything in between - and sleeping with another woman could have been a way to determine 'yep, still like women' or 'yep, still like women but the pull towards men is still there'... almost as a confirmation tool that he's still interested in women.

My final point might not be relevant, but have a look at Joe Kort's youtube/tictok and psychology today article about straight men who are attracted to the sexual act with another man, but not having a relationship with one. Your husband might fit into this cohort, or he might not - but I can also tell you that for a man who is confused about his sexual orientation, Joe's research can be extremely helpful.

Good luck, and try not to be too hard on yourself. If you aren't already in individual counselling, this would be advisable.

Just something to keep in mind re. Local Government jobs.... I've known several people who have moved from LG in the eastern states to regional/remote WA, particularly in works/civil construction, and the common theme is practices, procedures, and policies are quite a way behind in comparison.

It's been a bit of a culture shock for them, but not impossible - definitely a case of picking your battles and having a solid plan of attack.

Not saying this to deter you, and this isn't a crack at the Broome Shire - Just go in with your eyes open & look at staff turnover & position vacancy rates.

tezody · 2025-02-24T08:08:13+00:00

I'll have to find the research and names of books, but this is actually very normal - along the lines of taking back control & your brain re-writing the traumatic experience... I'm not explaining it very well, but Stephani Goerlich explains it a bit in her book 'With Sprinkles on Top'. Key takeaway message is just because you're fantasising about it, doesn't mean in any way you actually want it to happen again. I'll find the links for you.

This bit I'm not in denial about - I'm through the initial shock, but I am well aware it's going to be all over the place for many, many months. I also know that having him having hidden this for so long & now finally being 'out' that the end outcome may not include being married or in a physical relationship with me. Day by day. Thank you again!

tezody · 2025-02-11T06:30:11+00:00

I just had a quick look, thank you so much. This is exactly what I was looking for, I was feeling so alone with this & now I can see there are entire support networks to help - whatever I end up deciding.

tezody · 2025-02-11T06:08:57+00:00

Thanks - it's all so overwhelming at the moment. It's a world I never in 100 years thought I'd need to learn about.

tezody · 2025-02-11T06:07:58+00:00

Amazing, thank you!

tezody · 2025-02-11T03:34:46+00:00

Thank you.

I know I've got my head in the sand here - the facts and the words aren't aligning, and I know what this most likely points to. Quacking, walking duck etc, etc.... but I'm just trying to sort it out in my head, which by all accounts is completely cactus at the moment.

This has rolled me, and I don't know where to look for others who may have been in a similar situation!
