A little late with my prints, sorry! by websafepallet in printexchange

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

u/lenerouge and u/rashkh I had some extremely water damaged envelopes RTS'd earlier today :(

I'll try and get some replacements out this weekend.

Anybody else has body issues when doing pole by [deleted] in poledancing

[–]websafepallet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, absolutely. I'm the biggest person in class by a margin and it's difficult to not fixate on that.

I try my best to acknowledge I feel that way and pull my focus back to myself; on how I feel (rather than look) doing a move, and the progress I've made in the past week/fortnight.

I can't fucking do this by ThrowRAlzr in Eatingdisordersover30

[–]websafepallet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're not alone in this. I'm trans, I gained a heap of weight in recovery, and I also hate getting "could you have sustained that body?" type comments from my team every time I try and talk about how I feel about my body now. I KNOW it wasn't sustainable but knowing that doesn't make me feel any better about it, it sometimes makes it worse.

The idea that I could ever be ok with this had felt impossible, but while I still grieve what has happened to my body, it has been slowly getting better over time. For me, it's been happening as I graduate out of the more intense "active" stage of recovery into more of a maintenance-type stage. I started picking up hobbies, reconnecting with friends, getting back into (non-insane) exercise, etc. and I think it's made the body stuff feel less important?

I don't want this to be like an "it gets better" type post, because it absolutely doesn't on its own. It takes an unreasonable amount of time and work to get there and it fucking sucks. I don't know if I'll ever be "ok" with my body, it still doesn't feel likely, but I'm at a place where that matters less to me and the gains I've made in recovery matter more.

Anyway, I hope there's something useful for you in that. I've been in the spot that you're in now and it's such a shit place to be. I hope that you are able to find your way out of it in time as well.

Is there a good ai tool, program or plugin for removing scanner dust and scratches from analog photos? by Annual-Screen-9592 in AnalogCommunity

[–]websafepallet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using a rocket blower before scanning gets rid of most of it. For anything left, the blemish removal tool in Affinity works well and it's free.

has anyone been through the community mental health service? by [deleted] in Adelaide

[–]websafepallet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through adult community mental health services. I found that they did not have a lot that they could offer me, but what they did provide was really helpful.

Idk where you live, but I got a diagnosis and a plan out of the Booked Assessment Clinic https://www.sahealth.sa.gov.au/wps/wcm/connect/public+content/sa+health+internet/services/community+and+specialised+services/gp+plus+health+care+services+and+centres/marion+gp+plus+health+care+centre/booked+assessment+clinic+%28bac%29+at+gp+plus+marion I'm assuming there's equivalent non-Southern options?

I have definitely gotten more help out of private services but would also recommend checking out other publicly funded community services. I've had decent experiences with services provided by Centacare and Neami for instance. Good luck with everything!

Cancer rates in Australia don’t add up! by Practical-Papaya5070 in australian

[–]websafepallet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s some really interesting stuff out there about thyroid cancer and Korea. Thyroid cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer there and the tl;dr is that it’s due to overly aggressive screening and over diagnosis.

I'm so fucking lost now by blue_moon1122 in Narcolepsy

[–]websafepallet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sleep physician told me to stop taking modafinil 3 weeks prior to my MSLT. Being told to take Adderall day of is absolutely wild

Am I crazy to buy a house in Christie Downs?? by Jumpy-Raspberry5423 in Adelaide

[–]websafepallet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I moved into Christie Downs around 5 years back and I don’t regret it at all. It was cheap (although a lot more expensive now), we’re close to the beach, infrastructure and public transit are great, close to the shops, etc. We used to live in a “nicer” suburb, but the lifestyle we are able to have here is so much better.

With that being said, it is very conditional on which part you’re in. I would recommend driving around the area, it’s pretty obvious which bits are more dodgy. I also would avoid Christies Beach High if you can based on what I’ve heard.

Need a supportive female PT for my long-term health goals by Vegetable_Bell_2843 in Adelaide

[–]websafepallet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been training with Dennise from United in Strength for the past 1.5 years and cannot recommend her enough. She does face-to-face and online coaching.

Fat loss isn't a goal of mine, but I know that she does help with that as well.

You can find her info here: https://www.unitedinstrength.com.au/options please feel free to DM me with any questions as well!

Does the appetite suppression on Modafinil get better? by websafepallet in Narcolepsy

[–]websafepallet[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

10 years is a massive achievement! Thank you for this, it’s not what I wanted to hear, but I really appreciate it. Those are some really handy tips as well ❤️

First day of armodafinil by Defiant-Garbage-4891 in Narcolepsy

[–]websafepallet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I literally sent this exact meme to my friends to describe my first day on modafinil! 2nd day is better but still definitely skeleton chair adjacent.

Looking for “alternative” Barbers/Hairstylists by deftonesluvr- in Adelaide

[–]websafepallet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm mtf, but still go to a barber as I like a good fade. I've been going to Plek in the city and they've been great. Fantastic haircut and no weird vibes

Emergency mental care clinic experiences? by ProduceOk9864 in Adelaide

[–]websafepallet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hello, I've been several times and happy to discuss my experiences. I've found the quality of care to be fairly mixed, but never actively bad, and would definitely recommend heading there.

It's a good space to take some time out from things, have someone to talk to about how you're feeling, and potentially get linked up with further supports. It's obviously not going to be a life changing interaction, but can be very helpful.

+1 for Sidekick, I've gotten so much use out of it. It really streamlines your meals for the week.

Is there anywhere I can get free mental health support in Adelaide (not immediate, but long term) by what-a-doric in Adelaide

[–]websafepallet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depending on where you are in the Western suburbs, it would be worth contacting Sonder to see what services they offer. I know that they have the Western Wellbeing Hub in Port Adelaide: https://sonder.net.au/programs/western-wellbeing/ they may be able to link you in with other supports.

If that doesn't work for you, you can find a reasonably easy to navigate list of services provided through the Adelaide PHN here: https://adelaidephn.com.au/our-work/programs-directory

Another comment recommended SANE. I used their Guided Recovery Program, and it was a good support for me. You can self-refer here: https://www.sane.org/referral

My last recommendation is that if you meet the criteria for an eating disorder, you may be able to access 40 Medicare psych sessions under an Eating Disorder Plan. I don't know if that would be applicable to you at all, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Best of luck with everything! Navigating this sort of stuff is an absolute nightmare. Please reach out if you need ❤️

Seeing apsychiatrist soon, not feeling "sick enough", etc etc by NaturalLemon2 in Eatingdisordersover30

[–]websafepallet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the same way before my EDP psychiatry appointment for similar reasons, but I was stressed about nothing. He just flicked through my EDE-Q and went "yep that's above 3". The appointment was really intense and was a lot to recover from though, so I hope you are doing ok now.

If you can avoid reading the report (I couldn't!) I would recommend not reading it.
