I have a friend who does this... :/

So I’ve not long ago been discharged from a psychiatric hospital after 8 weeks. People who have never seen inside one, except in horror movies and faux documentaries, really don’t know what to expect. I’ve been in public and private psych hospitals, and while public was awful for me because there was a higher…

I’ve done a bit of backlashing in my own household. Mostly that it’s just so gross that you go from reading about all of the people who are losing jobs, homes, their health, their life. Then then the K’s are like ‘look at our ginormous ranch, we’re billionaires and are doing basically zero to help the world’. I know…

No particular opinion on this except for the microphone. Fuck Chemist Warehouse. For several reasons but mostly for making me feel like a drug seeking criminal because of the strength and combination of drugs my team of doctors have prescribed, and for keeping repeats without asking first. Even my specialist told me…

I found it more unsettling than scary. Like the Babadook or We Need to Talk About Kevin. It got better the further along it went.

I wanted to be Gwen when I bought Tragic Kingdom. I was around 12, and I dressed like her, I bought a skateboard and tried to teach myself to skate, knew all the words to all the songs, dyed parts of my hair cool colours. And now she’s so boring. I read something a while ago about her not being a feminist, and being a…

I got Johnny Utah from Point Break. Also not disappointed. All options are good options.

I’m not judging anyone, just saying what my own experience was. My best friend chose her baby’s name from the beginning. I have had a few miscarriages so I think it’s got something to that as well. Not wanting to make that level of attachment until the baby is born.

I guess so. It’s more of a feeling I guess. 

When my baby was born few weeks early this year, and I was in ICU and my baby was in Special Care, I was asked several times what her name was. Like, I saw her for 30 seconds before we were both whisked away and I really had no idea what she looked like. I don’t understand picking a name before you look at them. Like,…

Similar to my country. But now we have a system where a mental health nurse may also attend with the police. Makes a big difference.

Thanks for the explanation. Where I live, when speaking to elder of our first nation’s people, Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders, it can be a sign of respect to call them auntie or uncle (if that is what they prefer). I work in a clinic sometimes that has FNP workers who are referred to Aunty __ and Uncle __ as…

This is going to sound incredibly naive, but in my country the only one of those food brands we have is Uncle Ben’s, and when I was a kid I just assumed ‘Uncle Ben’ was an uncle and also this big, rich rice magnate.

Ah those were the days...

So you got it checked?

I’ve had several events that will stay with me forever.

He’s their version of the 3rd Hemsworth brother.

Especially if they have pockets. 

I was Team Pacey and still refer to him as Pacey. When the show came on I made my parents leave the room, it was too uncomfortable to watch with them there. I have recently been watching Little Fired Everywhere and enjoying the dad version of Pacey.

There’s definitely debate, but there doesn’t need to be because vegemite is clearly superior and marmite is gross. But I guess it’s what you grow up with! People who haven’t had vegemite before tend to overdo it and use way to much.
