hi all!! I’m from australia and I’m curious to know what other countries have as their post donation snacks!! here in australia the blood donations are managed by lifeblood and the most common snacks I’ve seen are party pies (mini beef pies) and sausage rolls! we also have lovely volunteers who help make milkshakes, and there’s flavoured milks and juice available to grab from the fridges! there’s also machines to make hot drinks and I’ve also seen packets of chips (potato chips or crisps for my international friends), noodle cups, and crackers and cheese. I’d love to hear where you’re from and what snacks your country has for post donation energy! my current favourite snack after I donate is sausage rolls with tomato sauce (ketchup) and a strawberry milk 😋
does anyone know if the strawberry cow will be restocked? I know blueberry just got released but the strawberry cow is just so sweet I would love to add the little cutie to my collection 😭🍓
hello!! I (18F) was diagnosed L2 a couple months ago and although I was happy to finally get my diagnosis it also made me sad and frustrated that it got missed for so long because to me my struggles are so obvious and I can’t hold a conversation properly or understand verbal or written instructions (I really need to be shown how to do things) and I obsess over the things I love most and can’t think about anything else. mostly i use communication cards or write things down with people I don’t know that well but I can kinda talk to my friends and family. I have a good memory because of my autism like I can remember 1500 digits of pi but I still don’t like people saying autism is a superpower because it’s so hard and lonely. I would give up my good memory so quick if it meant I could just feel normal. anybody else here late diagnosed high support needs? :)
I’m thinking about hurting others. I don’t want to, absolutely not at all. But every time my brain goes quiet and I’m not distracted by something I immediately go back to these thoughts. I think about my dog downstairs sleeping and how easily I could hurt her. At the train station i see small children and think about how easy it would be to push them onto the tracks. I’ve hurt myself before and I’ve attempted three times. I also think about jumping onto the tracks myself, but that’s different. That’s me. I do not want to hurt anybody else. Sometimes I think if I wasn’t here then I couldn’t make anything bad happen. Nobody would be hurt because of me. I’m waiting to talk to kids helpline at the moment. I don’t know how to explain to my parents that I have thoughts about hurting others but they’re not my thoughts. Please help me.
I have to travel by train every weekday to uni, and recently my intrusive thoughts have gotten extremely bad specially at the train station. I’m worried that either someone else will push me, I’ll push someone else, or that I’ll jump onto the tracks.
I have struggled with suicidal ideation in the past and have attempted suicide, but this is different. I do not want to do any of these thoughts, but the urge is just so overwhelming. Sometimes I need to hold onto a pole just so I can’t move when the train is coming. But I don’t want to jump. I don’t want to push anyone. Not sure why I’m too concerned about other people pushing me, that might not be OCD related.
More than anything I’m concerned about hurting others. It’s shameful to admit but I see children or elderly people on the platform and I know I would be able to push them off so easily. I don’t want to do that. I don’t want to have these thoughts.
I was only diagnosed with OCD at the start of this year but it’s been with me forever. I’ve always had these thoughts, and I’m wondering if it’s also to do with being autistic and hyper aware of everything. It’s not that I want to do these things it’s just that I know I could do them if I wanted to. It’s happened with other things too, like with my pet guinea pigs, I get very scared holding them because I know I have the ability to squeeze them and I could seriously hurt them. I don’t want to do that at all.
Anyway, sorry for my rant. The main point is I don’t know how to get over this feeling at train stations. I can’t travel to uni any other way and I’d rather not deal with these distressing thoughts multiples times a day.
Any suggestions would be great :)
TLDR: I’m scared of hurting myself or others at train stations, any suggestions on how to overcome this?
hi, I recently purchased a second hand new 2ds xl and the top cover plate was originally white but it’s now very yellowed due to sun damage. is there any cleaning solution I can use to whiten it or will that ruin the plastic? alternatively, is it easy to swap out the top cover plate? thanks :)
hello! I did a blood test a few days ago and the results came back as ferritin at 9 and haemoglobin at 10.6. do I just wait until monday to see my GP or should I do something before then? my only symptom is extreme fatigue, other than that I feel fine. sorry if this is tmi, but I’m also currently on my period, so I don’t know if that would make things worse or not 😅 any advice would be appreciated!
hello!! I am from australia and soon my dad will be going on a business trip to america, and he's agreed to bring me back an unstuffed bear to stuff it here! the only problem is BAB has their websites region locked and I have no idea which bears are american exclusives or what's in stock 😓 do you guys have any suggestions on which new friend I should pick? or is there a way I can see the US products somehow? thanks!! 😊
hello!! I'm autistic and have been using loops for a couple of years now and they've been really good! originally i got 1 pair of quiet and 1 pair of engage, but predominantly used the quiets as the engage would hurt my ears. then i lost my quiets and so i got a new pair...only to find my original quiets again 😅 so now i've got 2 quiets and 1 engage, and today i impulse bought the switch 2 (in lavender!!! i'm so excited!!).
just wondering, how does the "quiet" mode on the switch 2's compare to the regular quiets. is it the same, better, worse? any feedback would be amazing! thanksss!!!
this part of my 2ds xl is broken and I’ve ordered a replacement part…but not quite sure how to actually replace it 😅 will I need to take the whole thing apart or is there a way I can remove the old cover and put the new one in without unscrewing things? or if anyone in melb aus is looking for some quick money I’m happy to pay someone to fix it! thanks!! 😊
being in Australia BAB didn’t even become big until I was nearing the end of my childhood but I was OBSESSED and recently I’ve been really wanting to get back into it but the selection of stuffies to choose from is really…something.
like sure I can get past the modernisation of the stores…even if the old ones were much better…at least the stores still exist. but I absolutely cannot deal with their new selection of bears 😭
WHY is it all sanrio?? like bring back the ice cream bears or idk literally ANYTHING else. I know people love sanrio but especially in aus where the selection is smaller to begin with…it shouldn’t be half of the products.
anyway, feel free to disagree, I’m just voicing my opinions. photo of my childhood bears for funsies :)
genuinely what is that supposed to be? the patient after leaving? town and phone number blurred out because they don’t add any context 😭
edit: guys this place is shut down…we may never get closure
edit 2: human back with limbs torn off?
edit 3: solved…we think? it’s a human back that USED to have muscular markings but have since faded. keep adding your suggestions though, they truly make a lot more sense than whatever is supposed to be happening in that logo
every single assignment goes exactly the same way. I’ve learnt to have all my research notes and planning documents ready, but it’s still so frustrating. I hate AI. I hate how competent writing has now turned into a sign of AI. I am not a robot, I am autistic. if it was just for one assignment, sure, whatever, but it’s every single one. I can’t keep having these academic misconduct meetings for simply writing how I write. does anyone have any advice to explain this to tutors etc. APART from keeping notes of my research/drafting process because I already do that, and at this point I’m considering just writing absolute nonsense and “dumbing down” my writing just so I don’t keep getting flagged. help?
