My friend has bet me 500 Aud that I can’t eat 26 bunning snag (lookalike, size weight etc) hot dogs in 10 minutes. I’m a woman who weighs 67 kgs, 166 cm. No need to eat the bread just the meat, 1.8kg box of hot dogs. is it possible or should I back out?
My friend is planning to do a placement as part of her legal business double degree course. She’s really hard work and sweet. I’m really angry because she came to me upset yesterday saying that while calling legal companies asking about placements one of the higher ups at a certain Australian firm had berated her, calling her stupid, insulting her university because it wasn’t “Melbourne or Monash,” and saying she sounded like an ai. It wasn’t enough to just to say they weren’t taking student placements he went out of his way to insult her. Wasn’t he a student too at some point? I find it really sad because cold calling is really scary and I hope she doesn’t give up because of this experience. What’s the best way for to find a placement other than cold calling?
I’m 21 years old turning 22 at the end of the year, I don’t have prospects for a full time job any time soon as I’m starting a full time degree next year. I work part time in retail 15 hours a week and my mum sends me part/majority of my rent to live out of home because her and her new husband live there and the place is too cramped. I was working on another degree up until I decided to transfer because the prospects weren’t looking very good. I only have 300 in savings because I had this bad habit of eating out too much which I’m trying to turn around now. Can anyone offer me financial advice? I want to at least have 2000 in savings. And what to do I do once I reach that goal? Do I invest what do I do from there?
I dry my clothes in the apartment living room on a drying rack. It’s been very cold and raining a lot recently and I’ve noticed this unpleasant odour walking into the living room. It smells sour and bit like urine. I’ve smelt my clothes individually and they smell fine, I’ve rewatched them twice now but the smell is still there. This has never happened before. I’ve removed all my clothes but the smell still lingers in the living room. We have no windows in there. Sometimes I forget my clothes in the washer and have to run them again when I get back from work but they sit in there for a while before I do, could that be why this is happening? I can’t find the culprit clothing causing this they all smell fine. The only other thing I’ve noticed is that because it’s winter they take over 5 days to dry and never seem to fully dry and stay perpetually damn on the drying rack.
Hi obviously there’s no piracy allowed on this subreddit but I was wondering if anyone has suggestions where to find for cheaper textbooks that I can’t get second hand? I’ve looked on marketplace and eBay already. Im looking for two specific anatomy textbooks if anyone could possibly pm me with websites I could also name the books. I really can’t afford them right now as even the second hand ones go over 100. Thank you so much guys!!! Cheers
I’m currently an undergrad student at university working a part time retail job that pays 27 aud an hour, my mum sends me 230 a week to help with rent which is about 1080 per month with bills adding up to around 40 extra. I work 3 days a week. My biggest expense is eating out because I hate cooking at my share house, it’s unpleasant and dirty and my roommates leave dirty dishes everywhere. Eating out is taking up all my money. I really want to go to my dance lessons and continue them but can I really justify it? I’d like to actually HAVE savings. The five pass class is 120 aud 10 pass class 220 aud and the unlimited monthly pass is 390. I really love dance it makes me feel better about my body, what would need to change to make it a justifiable expense? How much would I need to make?
Hello, I’m looking for Photographic Atlas of Anatomy 9th edition by J. Rohen in a pdf format, if anybody here has it, could you please share it with me? It would be much appreciated!
I really struggle with eating enough, I’m very particular with my diet I only eat certain brands and feel uncomfortable cooking because I live with roommates and I just don’t feel safe in the kitchen. I struggle with not eating out at the same restaurants everyday (the 6.50 kids Guzman and Gomez meal). I have toast and stuff in my kitchen but I just feel kind of sick and nauseated thinking about eating, it makes me feel stressed out. Usually I keep snacks on my bedside table but rn it’s 1:00pm and I need to go to work at 4:00pm. I don’t like to think about the texture of food unless they’re my favourite food. I need to eat something otherwise I know I’ll have a headache later but I’m really struggling to force myself to. Does anyone have any tips? Doesn’t have to be specific just in general for eating enough
So I’m part of this dnd group and there was this girl who didn’t come very often. She started joining more frequently and everybody was happy because they were worried about her. The time we did hang out she got sloppy drunk puked everywhere and even though I didn’t know her that well everyone thought it would be best for her to sleep over at my house because if was the closest around. Everyone said it was a habit of hers to get really wasted and drunk often. We all had to sleep on my house with some people in the living room on the ground to watch over her. It was pretty awful. She was talk in our chat about getting drunk a lot. As we got closer she’d text me saying she was drinking alone, drunk alone, tipsy etc alone at night. This concerned me greatly. I talked to everyone about this, the guys didn’t care at all and the only one concerned was the other girl in the group who was too scared to confront her because they weren’t close enough or something. I tried to reduce alcohol during our hangouts if she was there. The other week I just got fed up with it and very worried because she was texting about getting tipsy/drunk again like always so I sent her a message telling her I was worried, that I care about her that and that I think she should reduce drinking alone because it was unsafe at night as a woman that whatever problem she was facing we could solve it together that she didn’t need alcohol to try and feel ok. I know I made a mistake because immediately she shut me down and I realised I should’ve done it in person but we’re never alone and always in a group. I had invited her out before and it’d just never happened. She stopped responding after I apologised and told her I wasn’t trying to control her or be judgmental I was worried and hoped she could come to me with any problems or worries.
We met for dnd and she started making digs at me. My friends and I tease each other but she really was acting different. Maybe she was just trying to join in with the guys but I sensed something was different I don’t know how to explain it. And my sense of things tells me she’s upset because of the texts or that I brought the drinking thing up at all. My other female friend didn’t show up but we messaged and she said that the alcohol friend doesn’t like to be confronted with her issues. I did also try to talk to my guy friends about it but the dm of our group but he just said as long as I don’t care scare her away he doesn’t care. That I should’ve just sent fewer words that my text was too long. But I just feel like everyone else is a coward for not talking to her, for enabling her for so long. How can you just sit back and watch your friend self destruct without saying anything? I feel really bad.
She’s kind of being an asshole to me more than usual. I know I didn’t text her in a proper way or I should’ve called, I know I didn’t do it right but it was genuinely just out of care and I made sure she knew in the messages I just wanted to be there for her. But now she’s being kind of passive aggressive and making fun of me frequently.
Tl;dr
I messaged my friend about how her drinking was unsafe and starting to get out of hand and she pushed me away and now is acting different around me and being meaner than usual
I already have an adhd diagnosis but my psychiatrist suspects it’s inaccurate and I’m on the autism spectrum. I’m suffering, I feel chronically empty, rejected and unable to get through the day. as a child I experienced capgras delusion which someone said could this could be a sign of brain injury or bi-polar II. I genuinely just want to know what’s wrong with me.
When I was a child I used to have constantly have this fear my mum was constantly being replaced by a malicious doppelgänger, and would quiz her repeatedly on our address, pets name or certain memory to reassure myself she was still truly her. This was really not fun. Other ideas I couldn’t shake were that my grandma who wasn’t very nice but not evil was poisoning my water bottle. I even expressed this fear to another elementary school student who asked why I even thought my grandma would try to poison me but I couldn’t explain it. It was not fun going around worrying id be contaminated by others “bad luck,” that were maliciously trying to give to me while stealing my life force or something. If someone touched me I would have to touch them back immediately or be stuck with some kind of punishment in my mind. The adults in my life sucked and were too self absorbed to get me any help at the time and luckily I grew out of these concerning irrational beliefs to become extremely depressed and idolising not being alive instead! Fun times. The “sticky thought loops,” remained they just got redirected into romantic relationships and ruining them through me predicting “cause and effect through previously mentioned opinions and statements by the other person that apply to or contradict the current and future situation or statement made,” these are like itches that if not explained by the person become fixations that I cannot stop thinking of until I’ve data mined the person of their thoughts, motives and intentions. Sometimes it’s because the person is actually untrustworthy and I’m just fixating on the wrong thing but also it’s become a self fulfilling prophecy of pushing romantic interests away with the thought loops even if I was right in the end that they weren’t the best partner in other ways. it’s only slightly better than being paranoid about being poisoned by grandma. Although my grandma was emotionally abusive I will say. I would say I’m not the type of adult to believe in mysticism or the supernatural. Which is why the other day when my superstitious spiritual friend started talking about energy vampires and that she can see ghosts and has “spirit guides,” I started panicking a bit because I realised I was having the weird delusions again that I couldn’t control. Because of her influence my brain started to take on the belief against my will that I was feeling tired because her “spirit guides”, that she mentioned previously that were draining and stealing my soul or something. This is completely irrational and logically I understand this but for a day I was 10 again with an irrational fear of being around this friend. I really wish I got the right support when I was child because it was exhausting and terrifying to be alive everyday. There has never been a point in my life where I’m not extremely anhedonic or mentally exhausted. I think nobody noticed because I was a quiet girl who got good grades throughout school until college where I crashed and burned completely while ironically enough doing a psychology degree lol. After many horrible unsuccessful relationships and switching my degree twice, there being days of utter despair and sadness, unable to get out of bed to even get food from the kitchen, shower or socialise I just want any clue as to what’s wrong with me so I can finally just be functional and ok. I just want anything that can point me in the right direction. I have been through the psychiatry and psychology care systems and it seems to fix nothing
My friend of 4 years ended our friendship. I had an emotional crash out on his birthday after everyone kept only making fun of me as a group. The thing is sometimes one person would make a joke explicitly teasing/insulting me I couldn’t even hear properly and then they’d all laugh a second time after it was repeated. It felt embarrassing and ongoing throughout the car ride and at the location. I have no idea how I ended up the butt of the joke. And it was in the middle of nowhere at night so I couldn’t even just go home. Usually id probably just walk away but it was very dark. I did not react well and should’ve stepped away but did not. I acted like an ass, became sarcastic, defensive, triggered, rude. I cringe when I think about the crash out that happened it was ugly. I regret how I acted and wished I had more emotional regulation. I ruined his birthday and rightfully he was really upset. He said he felt like my reaction was disproportionate to the situation and I always do this when I feel hurt or excluded he no longer wants to have to worry about my emotional outbursts anymore at events. He said I always escalate things and take them too far and end up being mean to people who don’t deserve it. That he doesn’t care how it started He described me as having emotional reactions that are too intense. Can anybody give some tips about how to remain emotionally calm even when I’m hurt or I feel excluded or made fun of? I feel like I do get stand offish and mean if they refuse to let me go home. My first reaction to feeling hurt is always to try go home. When I feel like I’m being teased repeatedly and I don’t get the joke it makes me feel really upset and I want to just leave. The thing it doesn’t feel like this in every group. Some just are very emotionally aware and always recognise for any member if they’re taken a joke too far. I feel like they actually care. I do think it’s not good how I acted and lashed out and I lost a close friendship because of that and it hurts so badly right now, but I’d like to take it as a lesson. Does anyone have any advice on how to react or regulate in situations of social exclusion/hurt/ rejection/ bullying because these send me into an extremely panicked and reactive state. I’m worried I’ll get really snappy and sulky if I’m not allowed to go home or leave the situation. I feel really sad about losing that friend, I think it’s a lesson on how not to act. He said I emotionally detonated all over everyone which I don’t want to do ever again. I got really personal and ugly when the guy insulting me was around and I’m feeling a lot of shame over my behaviour because that’s not kind and not what I want to be. I don’t want to be selfish or self centred like he said if I could shut down those feelings in the moment of intensity I genuinely would
My body just feels wrong, it just feels really uncomfortable. Anybody have tips for this kind of sensory intolerance? I just feel bad all over and can’t get out of bed to do the things to feel better. I don’t know how to describe it. I just can’t stand the feeling of being in my physical body. The words that I can describe it is are, “feel bad, feel trapped, fear it will be infinite,” brain just keep short circuiting to no longer wanting to exist anymore as if it’s the quickest solution. I’ve been through this so many times It’s the reason I stopped attending class for university and got suspended. I’ve called helplines many times, been on antidepressants and anxiety meds and while I appreciate the solutions from doctors to try and live better now exercise better sleep I don’t care anymore I just don’t want to feel this way anymore. I feel like I’m just making this up in my head but it’s also making me feel so bad does anyone have any advice or a name for this or something I can research?
Whenever I have a romantic connection I usually get super attached to the person quickly and go all in. I get super hyper fixated and want to spend all my time and energy investing into the person, being around them making them personal gifts putting in as much effort as possible .It becomes really intense and I know I’m usually moving too fast especially if it’s the wrong person and they’re not treating me well but my curiosity about them is all I can think about. Anyone have any tips how to not get so attached quickly? I usually end up burnt from not taking my time but it has worked out before with another adhd person where we ended up in a happy 3 year relationship. But to be fair he was just as invested in me. I’m just usually the kind of the person to put everything on the line if I like them how do I not hyper fixate on another human being and their deeply interesting mind and inner world?
I took 27mg concerta at 7am and fell asleep until 9:30am, maybe it was just the window before the medicine kicks in? My new psychiatrist doesn’t think I got the right diagnosis for ADHD and instead thinks my symptoms are mostly autism related. I’ve tried vvyanse before but don’t really remember it much. I took concerta for the first time yesterday and didnt feel more productive on uni work, instead I didn’t really want to move, but got super interested in Mongolian throat singing and went down the rabbit hole of listening to every one of the songs in genre and imagining myself on the steppe as a nomad. I zoned out and just sat there thinking about the horses on the steppe and how much I love horses. Not sure how to direct this energy towards university but hopefully today I will be less tired. I just didn’t want to do anything yesterday. Felt so tired. Maybe I need a higher dose. Falling asleep on concerta was also really pleasant I woke up feeling well rested and calm. Hope this is all normal process.
