one month only, get it while you can!!!

i think i got too excited and just applied for the role, bc it's my dream job lol. i felt so confident when applying and tailored my resume to the role, but but i've been overthinking this whole thing for the last week, and i guess it's because i want the job so bad. they're hiring a lot of people, so i like to think i have a better chance, but i am trying not to get my hopes up lol

i just feel like i could have made a better cover letter, and now i'm wondering if i should give it another shot or just move on and hope for the best? main thing i'm worried about is if i withdraw my application, will i be able to apply again? does anyone have any exp with this?

I used to get soooo many perfume samples through sopost but I don’t get a single one anymore. I got a lot of really great stuff but it looks like they stopped doing it in Australia or maybe I just have bad luck lol

i'm in sort of a weird position here. long story short: i have a brain tumor, it's not cancer, surgeon doesn't wanna do surgery rn because it's very deep in my brain and brain surgery can cause major issues, my seizures are mostly are under control. i will do consistent mris to monitor any growth and changes

i have good days and bad. lately, i've been having a lot of bad days. thing is this time next week i might be having good days. i don't think i would qualify for dsp and i don't want it, but i don't know how to communicate the complexities of my case to my provider. for example, i know for sure i can only do part time work, but i cant space these shifts out over a week if that makes sense. like, i could work monday, tueseday, wednesday in a row and i'll be exhuasted with all the fatigue i have now, but i could mostly handle it. but there's no way i could do shifts 5 days a week in a row. 5 days in a row would drain what little energy i have left. my provider doesn't really get this. it sounds ridiculous but i know my body + my brain and i tried to explain it to him but he was very dismissive about it

my seizures are controlled, but i also have vertigo/balance issues, short term memory problems, bad concentration. i forget words that used to come easy to me, i forget thoughts i had just a minute ago, there are mornings where i wake up and it takes me a minute to remember what day it is and what i need to do that day

i feel like i can't do anything anymore. i just joined a place to volunteer to update my resume and i already feel overwhelmed with just a few hours work. i can't walk for long periods of times, i can't stand too long, i can't remember, i can't concentrate. it's a horrible feeling to know you're losing parts of your brain and can't do anything to stop it

idk how to explain this to my provider bc they just don't get it. i don't even know what jobs i can do anymore. i was working as a copywriter before but i don't think i could ever go back to my old job, i really don't think i could do it anymore and it sucks because i love writing so much

idk if anyone here has been in a similar position, if they've had a complex disability, and how they managed that and work and centerlink all at once? what is the best way to go about this, to explain to them that my health is upside down one day and okay the next?? i feel like they won't believe me. i could start off having a good day and then by the end of it my brain says no sorry we're turning it into a bad one :-)

i just want my brain to go back to how i was before, but i guess that won't ever happen now - so until then i have to figure out life and centrelink and i really don't know how to

they organised an interview with me a few months ago and they sent me to this guy who was working out of his home. he was selling medical supplies or something and i know a lot of people run businesses in their home but it just seemed kinda weird lol. it didn't work out and now they've set up another interview for me with an ndis provider and it's once again in someone's house

is it just me who gets these referred to this dodgy places lol

hi all, my mum has arthritis. she's 65 and has nodules on the pads of her fingers and toes but from my research online it seems to be that nodules are mostly on the surface, like the upper parts of the hands and feet?

does anyone else had nodules on the pads of their fingers/feet? i'm just a little confused

I keep thinking about her. Little orange cat would come in and out of my yard every now and then. The other day I spotted her chilling by my steps. It’s cold here and i thought she just wanted to relax in the sun a little. I went over to her and she didn’t run away like she normally would when she saw me.

I knew something was wrong. I got her some water which she drank and I went to call someone to come pick her up but she went away.

I went out the next day and bought some cat food and a towel for her in case she came back. I just had a feeling she would. But I was out all day and didn’t come back until late afternoon. When I checked my yard I just had a feeling she’d be there and she was lying down again

I keep thinking she was probably lying there all day just waiting for help. Maybe she thought I was safe and would get her help but I was gone for so long and my heart hurts knowing she was just there waiting, cold and sick and alone and waiting waiting waiting

She was so sick. She smelled really bad and was slow and looked so tired. I tried so many vets in the area but none could come get here and the rspca was my last resort because I was so scared they’d put her down. They picked her up an hour later and when I called for an update the next day they told me she had been put down. They said she was very dehydrated and emancipated

I wish I had grabbed her the day before when she still had some energy. I wish I hadn’t been out all day. She was waiting for help and she couldn’t get it. My heart hurts so much. I wish I could have saved her. She was so cold and alone. I’m sorry, little orange cat. I wish life had been better for you.

so i never read the book but the cover was illustrated and showed a man on a horse - i'm guessing a cowboy - jumping over a cliff/canyon. the sun was setting behind it all i'm pretty sure. the book was pretty thing, like less than goosebumps length. i live in australia but the book had western frontier vibes, so idk if it's an australian author.

i feel like it was part of a series?? and the title was in all caps but if i'm recalling properly.

weird title probably lol. but a lot of ys stick our tongues out when concentrating. holding something hot, moving carefully, etc., so it's a common thing. but i was wondering if anyone feels like they have this more than usual? for the last few days or so i feel like i do it every single time i'm concentrating. getting out of the shower (like trying not to slip), cooking (trying not to burn myself) etc.

maybe i'm just being paranoid and i've always done this at this frequency, but lately, it just feels like it's happening more often. i have a glioneuronal tumor in my right temporal lobe. i now have temporal lobe seizures (thats how i found out about the tumor). right now, the surgeon i talked to doesn't want to remove my tumour. if i could cut it out myself, i would! :D

just wondering if this is something anyone has experienced. google is saying we stick our tongues out because our brains find it hard to multi task - so now i'm worried this is a new issue i have to deal with, and i guess i'm a little scared

i am seeing my neurologist this thursday, so i will ask him - just wanted hear other people's thoughts and feelings <3

after you blow out the candles, your mum slices a piece, and then you spent the next 44 hours having every family member present holding up the slice to your mouth while photos are taken

haha it’s funny going through photos albums and it’s just 90% photos of people feeding me cake lmao. it’s such a fun tradition i love it so much

Sad post but I just saw this :( Nikhil moved to Australia from Fiji and was diagnosed with leukaemia at just 17. He went through so much - chemo, heart surgery, chronic illness - but still was so brave and strong enough to finish university where he studied medicine

He was such an amazing inspiration to me and so many others. He was such a smart, innovative person and had so many ideas to make navigating health care so much easier for those living with illness and disabilities :(

My heart is a little broken today. RIP Nikhil who was such a brave, strong person, and an inspiration to so many ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

there is local museum in my area that i really want to volunteer at. the way it works is you reach out to them with an email which i did, and then they send out a google form which i filled out, and then i heard nothing for a whole month.

i reached out and got nothing, and then i just called today and couldn't even speak to someone directly and had to leave a voicemail.

they legit put a linkedin post up advertising for volunteers which is how i found out about it all. it just sucks because it's pretty close by and i can't drive right now, so it would be nice to go somewhere local, but now i just feel like giving up

i'll wait a bit to see if they reply to my voice mail, if not then oh well i guess. is it always this hard to work for free lol

this symptom is honestly more annoying than the seizures. I have temporal lobe seizures that are controlled with meds so my neurosurgeon doesnt to touch my tumour just yet. it’s also pretty deep in my brain (glioneuronal)

so right now we’re doing a watch and wait thing. I’m gonna see him next year, but in the meantime I’m dealing with vertigo. I was just wondering how everyone else handles it? I hate feeling like I’m gonna hit the floor. It makes me scared to be on my own. idk how else here deals with it and would appreciate any advice ❤️

i had three doctors tell me that everything i was experiencing was just health anxiety. i was on a waiting list to see a neurologist for a year before finally seeing one, and then we went from there to do some tests, and that's how we found out about my tumor.
