Hello everyone, I’m writing this because I’m at a crossroads. I’ve been on slinda since 6 weeks postpartum and Bub is now 13 months old. So I’ve given slinda plenty of time to even out and what not but I’m finding that I’m so irritable, angry and just generally hating life… I know it sounds bleak. I can’t determine whether this is something like ppa or ppd or if it’s the pill that’s causing this. In the past before baby, I was on different birth controls over the years and I found my mood to be crap even when on those. So I’m wondering if this is another situation like that. I’m yet to speak to the doctor about it but am just wondering if anyone else has experienced the same when on slinda. I’m not trying to get pregnant again atm but I am considering just resorting to condom protection method if hormonal birth control doesn’t suit me.

As the title states I graduated end of 2024 got pregnant and had baby in 2025. Now baby is over 1 and I’m applying to jobs and I’m getting nothing. I didn’t get a grad offer and didn’t get a job post grad and feel I am now paying the price for it. I’ve contacted my references and they’re happy to do that, I’m going to renew my first aid and cpr soon (which hasn’t expired but will soon). Now when looking for jobs there’s nothing that states they’ll take no experience. All the listings I’m seeing want experience and I have nothing as I haven’t worked. I’ve applied to things even if they want experience and have been told the job has gone to someone else or I don’t fit certain criteria. Anyways this has seriously turned me off and depressed me. I just want someone to take a shot on me. I just want to get my foot in the door. I can’t apply for grad start as I applied in 2024 and got nothing and couldn’t apply again last year.

Also to add, we’re looking to get a house and have even been thinking to go rural nsw or even to Victoria. What are my options in that department? I’ve looked at job search on nsw health for specific hospitals in rural locations and same sort of gist, they want a few years of experience. I can’t see to even find new grad jobs there…

I just need advice. What can I do? Anyone know how to find job opportunities that have on the job training or some sort of newgrad type thing that takes in late comers? Also to note have been thinking would adding a diploma or cert help in any aspect or any extra training?

Thank you in advance everyone.
