Do you use toll roads out your way @TAB they do a rebate for green slip, thought it might be of some use I saved $600 by this but spent nearly double that using the toll roads.
im not too sure about the superannuation situation, I know for retirees there’s an option to withdraw super earlier also mine just goes in at 9.5% or what ever it is at now

Thanks @Former-Member i would like to know just exhausted and cbf searching things up at the moment. Don’t want to sound biased, but it will give into my assumptions of what may happen, though I will look at it with somewhat interest but it will eventually just go over my head and I experience the same pain I’ve been feeling, pretty dark… but I’ll get through it, I’m a fighter thanks

Is that chat gpt-4 @Former-Member I got that, and it helps at work with writing emails. As to back to what you were saying,,,, I feel no one understands or no one cares… I would volunteer but work is enough, I come home do chores, don’t really have an interest in meeting people cause we’ll I’ve been mostly let down. My IQ is 130+ and I’m an introvert, when things don’t go my way I give up… I have no sense of fear but sometimes getting out of my comfort zone scares me, I don’t know what it is , but it’s not something I’m used to… hence the logical aspect of it… I should be more stupid, then I’ll have more fun… been there done that… I feel like I’m a goldfish with the memory span of 3 seconds… I just go back to my ways… what I’m getting at is I can volunteer, I can try and meet new people, I can try and have a normal life, but I’m content with what I have a mum a dad brother in law sister… they’re not perfect but they’ve stuck by me… and I’m the past I have backed them up in situations and I will continue doing the same cause that’s all I can give… but work family self care thinking positive (alcohol, don’t hate me) is what is keeping me going… I have like 10 days drinking then I res For a bit. Hoping my medication change will ease my pains, who knows might try bolunteer work, might get me to meet new like minded people, but I acknowledge I’m crazy but hopefully people won’t care lol

no toll roads here @Former-Member not sure what a green slip is or rebates for one is
I am withdrawing my super early @Former-Member its called Transition to Retirement.
current hassle with tax not related to that, but had hassles with cenno and super recently as well.
theres all these money guys ofn fb reels now. one says 401k guess thats super is a crock , well super is a crock as well, only works for the rich.
once I sat down and wored out how much I had put into super and compared that to my balance .it was the same . they always say getting 10% on average, and there is always a way they can can twist the figures to agree with that, but bottom line is bottom line.I lost 50% of balance 2-3x , its pretty hard to make that back up. All BS

@Former-Member You can do all kinds of things with getting out of your comfort zone. I know of a presenter on the alternative health circuit who used to initially panic and have massive fears about standing in front of a crowd doing workshops. But he overcame his fears. He now says that you have to thrust yourself into situations that produce fear to get over the apprehension. After that you have no fear.
Every one of us has some type of fear. I have been reading a book on acupressure on how to strengthen kidneys which are the seat of fear. I wonder with all these psych meds we are on that they deplete kidney energy. My GP is forever asking for kidney function tests and you do notice older folk in our community with hair like straw which is related to kidney. In traditional chinese medicine the health of your hair is affected by kidneys. If you have beautiful healthy hair you will have strong kidneys.
One thing you may have to do is clear the energy around you so you don't attract more of the same energy from your past interactions (An energy clearing) I do energy clearings weekly or daily if needed Maybe work with hypnosis to get rid of fear in social situations. For now your family offers a backstop but what about the future?
I've seen mp3 hypnosis downloadable audios that are really affordable for things like phobias. Check with contraindications if you have epilepsy or if your psychiatrist thinks its not a good idea.
Emotional Freedom Technique is also good for releasing phobias. You can do it affordably by reading books on it or watching you tube videos on Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) for releasing phobias for free. EFT has a higher success rate than therapeutic counselling and has been used in emergency human disaster situations because it works.
Anyway what you decide is totally up to you. I know youre drinking, its because you are not happy. I don't judge you for that, its a means of escape from the harsh realities of life. There are many people who have got over addictions and live a good life Russell Brand is one of them. I watch other people and can learn from their example. He started out with a type of addictions anonymous group and from that point his life began to get better. You should see him now - he is a powerful commentator. He has gone beyond what the average person can achieve. You can see his old videos compared to his most recent ones and hes come a long way. I have a lot of respect for people like that.

Someone asked an evolutionary astrologer why everyone’s dealing with so much right now. Here’s her astrological breakdown of what she's seeing:
