So my ukulele capo vanished into thin air. I'm sure it will show up somewhere. Whilst looking into that, I investigated studying engineering, and realised another four years of uni is not up my alley. All whilst juggling competing deadlines. My psychologist asked me if I can see a psychiatrist because she thinks ADHD meds would really help, but then I'd be out of pocket. Now I'm making an appointment to see the GP who gave me the wrong dosage of Vyvanse initially which caused a literal and spiritual headache. Too much going on.

I really really loathe how inaccessible mental health services can be. My partner has untreated ADHD, and his psych recommended a psychiatrist too. But it's just so expensive, and he's had a rough time with work (we have the union and fairwork involved, it's a cluster-f), so it just feels out of reach.

It's so annoying you had a dr who prescribed the wrong dosage, it really leaves a mark on the trust we place in medical professionals. I hope you are able to find a way forward.

Regarding uni, yeah, my one experience with uni in 2021 left a lot to be desired. It was so much stress with so little support, and no leeway. It's one me for choosing unimelb, but it's on them for being so utterly lackluster. I'm having a much better time with TAFE in all honesty, even better than HS too. It might be worth checking out the list of free TAFE courses that the vicgov offers, there may be a different pathway you could take to what you want to do? Or even just whatever looks interesting :) sending you my good vibes!

Dinner made and eaten. A somewhat poor replica so I’ll go back to something tried and true tomorrow.

I am full though I think. Now time to relax with the WBBL tonight and I’ll figure out the rest later.

On the bright side grocery shopping is done until I need more food and I really held back on buying junk food to save money.

Also got some cheap mushrooms and onions from the independent supermarket. I actually should have bought more mushrooms in light of that.
