r/Adelaide

I have a 10 year old who is extremely extremely mentally unwell.
We have a psychiatrist and psychologist we have been seeing with very little success
What are our options.
Emergency and women’s and children’s hospital can’t help
The Mallee Ward is not a suitable option for a young child.
We are desperate.. does anyone know of an inpatient facility for children.. even interstate

Recent experience for me. A family member recently passed away. The patriarch of the family paid at least $500 for the floral tribute. About 30 minutes after the service, the florist (who had been invited to the funeral) took the flowers away when she left.

Thinking patriarch of the family was completely ripped off.

Hi I was recently quoted $612 for a night guard at Hallett cove dentist. Just wondering if there is a cheaper option somewhere else around. I don’t have health insurance btw
TIA

Hi everyone.

I am early 50 m overweight , previously allergic to exercise but just starting to do something about it , daily walks and better nutrition.

I really want to join a gym.

Ryder wear is my closest and my price range.

I just feel sooo sooo anxious about ringing up or joining online but know I have to step up to make the start of my fitness journey happen.I haven't set foot in a gym B4.

I have read some threads about getting 1 session or 2 with a trainer to get shown what to use and a basic work out plan which sounds like good advice as I totally do not have a clue on how to use any weight machines or cardio anything.

I have read reviews on ryderwear and other local gyms like blackbird fitness which is higher price and not so close to me, with mostly positive reviews.

So I was wondering if there is anyone in there 40s or 50s on here ,that goes or has been to Ryderwear recently,to share their experience with me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

🙏

Peace✌️.

Does anyone have any recommendations for where to get a personalised baby present like bears or stuffed toys done in Adelaide?

Looking to get one for my two year old to give to her new baby sister in about a month's time. Apparently it helps with bonding if the older sibling gives the new one something 🤷

I’ve been searching for a new psychiatrist. I’ve used all the websites 🙄 and Google as suggested! I’ve been looking for OVER A YEAR!

My current psychiatrist has to get me off the books it’s through the public system. I’ve been given until the end of this year.

Their backup plan is to write a letter to my GP and have them take over my medications 🤦🏼‍♀️

I’m not comfortable with this at all. I have complex mental health issues. ADHD and Autism, CPTSD & BPD.

I’m getting a lot of rejection letters from psychiatrists that have “limited capacity”. One told me this morning that the next available appointment was mid July! I’m like great sign me up! Please send through a referral. Last time I did this I got an email back to the GP THAT DAY!

Sorry we don’t have capacity. I appreciate I’m complex (it’s the C in CPTSD 😂) but it feels like this screening process is demoralising 😩

Yes we have appointments…… oh but not for you! You’re in the too hard basket!

Does anyone have any suggestions advice or know of ANY Psychiatrists taking on new patients?

The search engine was useless. The Doctor that was going to see me in July but now doesn’t have “capacity” I found out doesn’t treat ASD or diagnose it.

To be honest I’m baffled 🤔 I don’t require diagnosis that’s been done and I don’t require a treatment for it? I went 41 years without knowing I had it….I found out had a laugh that all my “quirks” now had a label that changed nothing for me 🤷‍♀️ other than explaining some of my traits……

And the ability to say to my kids that are also autistic don’t worry I have that too! You’re not “broken” there’s nothing “wrong with you” we are just a bit different 🤷‍♀️

I feel like they’re reading out my diagnosis and thinking it’s alphabet soup and we don’t want to touch that?

I’ve been pretty stable and haven’t changed meds that much in 5 years! We may have tried to add something then taken it away because it didn’t do anything…… I’ve slightly decreased my dose because I do worry about the amount of medication I’m on…..but other than that it’s pretty standard 🤷‍♀️

New to the area and taking my partner out on a date, what are some good spots in the city for a dessert?Any recommendations welcome

What’s happening in Adelaide City this morning??
Lots of Police Presence surrounding all sides of the convention centre. Both side of morphett bridge etc. somebody “ important “ coming?

hey lads, i’m a qualified carpenter.
i’ve been struggling with my mental health loads, going in and out of hospitals. My current boss has said that he doesn’t want me working for him till i sort it out but i’m unable to get in Centrelink and need money to survive unfortunately. Just was reaching out here to see if anyone was interested in helping me out with a couple of days of work a week or something till im back on my feet again.

Are we really doing this again?

Im looking into scrap yards because ive been messing around with small diy projects and trying to find cheap metal locally instead of paying ridiculous hardware store prices for every little thing. i always assumed scrap yards were kinda both, like people drop metal off AND other people can buy random bits for fabrication repairs etc but then i noticed alot of places only seem to buy scrap and dont actually sell anything back out to the public

im in Adelaide and after reading around a bit i found places like Normetals that seem to do both sides of it, but heaps of other yards were basically just “bring your scrap and leave”. is it a legal thing? safety maybe? insurance? i can sorta understand not wanting random idiots walking around industrial sites grabbing rusty metal but it still surprised me how different the setups are between yards. feels like from the outside they all look the same until you actually start looking into it

Hi everyone,

Just got back from a holiday in Portugal, now really want to have more Portugese food!

Does anyone know where I can find a nice and authentic Portugees restaurant? I know where to find the tart (Saudade), but really don’t know where to find the restaurant.

Thanks in advance!

I’m based in Adelaide, Aus and used to buy Frontier’s Co-Op non-alcoholic flavor on iHerb but sadly it recently got discontinued. It’s the best almond extract I’ve found because it’s not bitter if you add too much since it doesn’t have alcohol in it. I love marzipan and almond flavoured anything - I use it in my coffee, pancakes, fresh whipped cream etc. It’s a great coffee syrup alternative if you’re into that!!

I’ve been been looking online everywhere to find a similar product with the same simple ingredients + ships to/within australia: glycerin, water, bitter almond oil

I’ve tried Queen’s Finest Natural Almond Extract from Woolies/Coles but the vegetable oil separates in coffee and isn’t a very pleasant drinking experience lol

I wouldn’t mind getting one with alcohol in it and have considered Queen Professional
Natural Almond Extract and Chef’s Choice Pure Almond Extract - but haven’t come any local Adelaide stockists / shipping within Aus is pretty costly.

TLDR; where can I find almond extract/flavouring with clean, simple ingredients that I can use for coffee in Australia?
