Hello,
I listen to the Dresden Files and am looking to start Twelve Months. I know their is an audio verison of The Law but I don't enjoy Jim Butcher narrating. I get why he tried it but it was challenging for me.
So just wondering if anyone can provide a summary of what went down in The Law?
Hello,
So I passed two weeks ago and today I picked up my car. It was the first time solo driving and I drove home pretty well, although I was anxious all the time.
I then went to the shops and while again the drive went okay I almost tried to exit a car park the wrong way and felt a bit flustered. Again nothing bad happened.
The problem is not so much the physical anxiety symptoms, I can keep those under control, it's more the mental state, which makes me feel flustered and when I feel flustered I feel like I need to do things quickly.
I guess I am just worried I'll make mistakes!
So yeah, just looking for some tips...
Hello according to the DVSA myths you don't have to exaggerate your mirror checks. I passed my test last week but a couple weeks ago my driving instructor had his standards check and failed. He failed because apparently I did not check my mirrors adequately during the MSM routine and appropriate times. The main feedback was regarding the centre mirror.
For context my driving instructor is sat next to me. Examiner in the backseat as it's a, standards check.
I really struggled to understand how. I don't exaggerate my head movements and never have. I look with my eyes and turn my head where appropriate.
Now the centre mirror is eye level with me. I don't have to flick my head up to see it. I also was doing my usual running commentary where I mentioned what cars were doing around and behind me.
According to the examiner conducting the standards check "You might as well of taken that mirror off and put it in the glove box for all the use it was"
I guess I was stunned because I've never been pulled up on my actual driving tests (I had a couple failed attempts prior to passing last week)
So I guess I'm curious as I was just watching a video about mirror checks.
What are examiners trained to do and see when it comes to mirror checks? They say they're specifically trained... If it's not exaggerated movements and stuff... What are they looking for?
I passed today and honestly I was so close to giving up. But please don't give up! It is eventually worth it!
Hello,
I've been prescribed Mirtazapine 15mg for anxiety but also to help with Insomnia and not sleeping. Previously I was using melatonin to treat my insomnia. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to take both as the GP acknowledged I was on Melatonin but then suggested this could be better at tackling the anxiety and sleep issue.
My main question though is the side effects talk about weight gain.
Am I right in saying that as long as I am careful, watch my diet and track my calories, I won't gain weight?
I already struggle with maintaining my weight, I'm constantly trading 5lbs (which I suppose is probably normal for a lot of people)
So yeah, I suppose I want to know as long as I track my calories, I should be okay?
