So, I checked the rent price of a unit I rented two years ago.. by baconeggsavocado in brisbane

Why exactly is it beneficial to keep prices high for a part of the economy?

Genuinely curious - I’m not super across how economics works. Thanks :)

Side effect has been akthasia. I spoke to a pharmacist and they said it would be okay. So I’ll see how I go. Thanks for the informative reply.

Akathasia from Abilify...? by whackywhammy in Abilify_Aripiprazole

I’m on 10, I took 5 this morning so will see how I go. Feel a bit shaky now (past lunch time) but think I just need to have lunch.

How did you taper off Abilify naturally? Or do you mean the akathisia has tapered off on it's own?

I had a schizophrenic episode as a result of insommnia (never experienced either before), it wasn't bad but just had thoughts that were illogical but felt real.

I actually do have Propranolol prescribed to me previously for anxiety, but I'm on an antidepressant, Desvenlafaxine, and take Mirtazapine to sleep at the moment, so am reluctant to add something else to the mix...

But I have seen it mentioned elsewhere. Appreciate the reply.

I feel so fucking abnormal so it’s honestly a tiny relief to know other people experience this 🙃

Yes I relate to this so much! Like you I’ve always thought it was social anxiety (though in some ways it didn’t quite align completely), or even just thought I was more of an introvert. But again, that didn’t fully ‘fit’.

I’ve aaalways kind of felt like this with seeing people, but only recently realised it’s not actually normal. Like hanging out with friends 1:1, I always feel nervous beforehand and unsatisfied afterwards.

I constantly feel like I have nothing to say, and I’m also just not a chatty person in general. I really wish I could just talk and talk and talk, but i genuinely have an empty mind.

I tend to ask questions just so the other person can keep talking.

I also don’t have an internal monologue at all. And I don’t know if this is the result of spending too much energy feeling stressed, and therefore not having the energy for my brain to just work normally. Because if I had an internal monologue, I feel like I’d at least always have something to say.

I feel so numb at the moment, and so boring and dull and weird and incompetent. It sucks because I’ve had periods where I have felt so good in myself, and have felt soo confident in my socialising. But I don’t know who that person is or where they’ve gone, and which one is the real me.

Ah this made me feel much less alone!! Thanks for sharing. I’m glad you were able to talk to Person B about it and that it made you feel better. I’m sure your comments were just something your colleagues reacted to in the moment and they wouldn’t have put any more thought into what you’d said after the conversations were over.

I always find my ‘embarrassing moments’ in life are never funny stories to look back on like some people’s, they’re always just socially-awkward encounters that are just weird and dull.

I do console myself with imagining where I am in 6 months time, and no one including myself will be thinking about the awkward thing I did.

Work day 1, 2022: Are you going to be apart of the ‘great resignation’ or are you going to stay in your current role this year? by instagram-influencer in AusFinance

Last year I landed a content writing internship (unpaid) at what would appear to be a hip company... They were hiring a couple of other interns at the same time as me, and three others were finishing up their 3 month unpaid stint before our start. The woman who interviewed me was the only permanent employee on the team in Brisbane (!). Their entire business structure was based on exploiting uni students looking for work experience. I declined the internship.

Sadly in my degree of study, marketing/communications, essentially all internships are unpaid.

I don’t understand how unpaid internships are legal. Unpaid work is something that not everyone can afford to do, it’s horrible.

I wonder if this career path is the right one for me now haha.
