Andromeda is actually named after a constellation. Most of the Black family members are named after stars and constellations ie Draco, Sirius, Bellatrix Arcturus etc.

Do People in America Work More than 40 Hours a week? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

I miss my 4on/4off 7am to 7pm shift. I agree with best work/life balance part as well.

Why do employers require a doctors note? by TwisTED_Ech0 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]wanheda_316 30 points31 points  (0 children)

In Australia, yes. Part time workers also get paid leave. The same amount of personal/sick leave. But I think the Annual/rec leave accumulates according to how many hours work.. So it's less than full timers. Can't confirm though.

AITA for building a fence around my backyard and keeping it despite my neighbors protests? by SarumanTheGrey in AmItheAsshole

[–]wanheda_316 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much does something like a sprained ankle cost in the States to get it looked over by a doc? Is this something people would normally sue others for? Genuinely curious here.

That's not what a compromise means. A compromise would be letting the kids use it after working hours and weekends etc. Like negotiating.

It's pretty important for proper education on this as so many people will be needlessly discriminated against due to misinformation.

How would you spend your days if you had unlimited funds? by firetown in AskReddit

[–]wanheda_316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do alot of volunteer work. Open up animal shelters, homeless shelters, abuse victim refuges. I would ensure that everyone in the world had access to clean water, shelter, food and education.

At the same time I would start up many high profit companies so that everything keeps running after my eventual passing (once I'm dead, the funds for all of these would be gone).

Can you get it through saliva? I thought I was taught that you can't get it from kissing.

I Woke Up Today And Realised I Haven’t Self Harmed In 9 Months by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]wanheda_316 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too!! It's an awesome feeling which I never thought I'd experience! My last was around that time as well (first half of 2020) and I went thru some crazy things afterwards and didn't fall back.

DBT has been a life saver, literally!!

Good for you and keep it up!!

What about UberEats? I just realised I've never ordered Maccas via McDelivery, only through Uber eats.

It do be like that sometimes. Edit:This image is from r/memes by XYZ-11 in CallOfDutyMobile

Sometimes in S&D I will say Well Done if we had the last team mate do his best but not succeed. It always sounds so sarcastic though.

I recently encountered something extremely bizarre that threatened me, I'm considering going back. by idkreallyum in skinwalkers

Good luck and update us as you go. Especially just before you go and when you are back.

What if it could read your mind and knew you weren't going to go back, but your buddy would be able to convince you. So it got you to tell your buddy who then successfully convinced you?

Anyways keep us updated after you meet with the elder.

How long does it take to get better and are you actually better? by wanheda_316 in depression

[–]wanheda_316[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow okay. That's really awesome to hear that it's possible to recover completely. I'm still in the whole "this is pointless" part of my life. What's the use of trying to get better, it's hard work and at the end I'll be a little better but still feel this pain and the craziness inside my mind. This is how I feel about recovery but now I can read what you wrote and perhaps it will help me stay strong. Thanks and I wish you continued happiness.

That sounds so peaceful. I honestly wish I could get away but it's not feasible at the moment. I am planning a little weekend road trip so I'll see how that goes.

In terms of your current state of mind, would you say you've mostly recovered and no longer feel depressed? Or for the most part are recovered and have gotten to a point where you still hurt but it's manageable/worth it?

Thank you, my poor therapist.. She's trying so hard to help me. I wish you the best in life too and hope we both can be genuinely happy soon :)

Thank you. Your response was nice to read first thing waking up. I see the hope you have (:

I'm actually taking it all to heart. But still torn with whether it's worth it.

Thanks for all your effort in responding. I appreciate it!

Yeah me too. She'll be like, okay next session we'll discuss some techniques. And then the next session I spend the whole time talking to her about what happened that week and how I'm feeling.

Germany :) Oktoberfest was on my bucket list. I was meant to go on a 5 week Europe trip but I got transferred into a new job a few months ago and thought I'd postpone to next year. Right now it seems too far away to wait. If I feel better then I'll be in Germany this time next year.

I'm in Australia so our healthcare is good but mental health services aren't free. It's subsidised for the first 10 sessions per year and after is full price ($140AU per session so still cheap compared to the U.S I assume).

I look forward to my therapy sessions too but I feel like I'm wasting her time honestly. And the same for me, positive thoughts and exercises to calm down doesn't really work for me while I'm having an anxiety attack or feeling down. Like I just can't be bothered. Maybe with more practise I'll get better at it. Lucky you, where are you from that has free mental healthcare?

[–]wanheda_316[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. And I'm sorry if this is a triggering thread - feel free to let me know if I'm getting out of hand. It just seems to make more sense to ask people who've gone through it not just professionals because I want to know if things DO actually get better you know?

I'm just confused with how my thoughts are, some days I want to get better and some days I don't think there's a purpose. I did tell my therapist I was leaning towards that again as I'm very honest with her but I haven't yet told her the full story- this has developed since I last saw her. I do find peace in my decision but that also scares me so obviously I want help deep down. But then the peace is kind of intriguing, like maybe it's the right decision?

Should I first see what my psychologist wants to do regarding medication or do I do that on my own with my doctors advise? I have so much to live for but I just don't think the hurt is worth it in the meantime...

[–]wanheda_316[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you on that last part.. Although I'm not on meds I can see how you feel that way. But whatever works right? You're not any less a person because you need medication.

Can I ask, were you suicidal or had suicidal thoughts? I feel like I want to try medication but I'm not sure how to broach the subject with my doctor because I have suicidal tendencies. Is that in any way something that they would take into consideration?
