I've been on MJ for about 3 months and unfortunately, even at the lowest dose, it's having an effect on my moods. My anxiety is sky high, I'm irritable and sometimes flat. I'm scared to make the switch as all I've read are people saying don't do it, but I really don't have much choice. I have had steady loss but not fast, which I prefer as it's probably healthier. I started at 89kg and am now 83kg. I haven't been very good about getting enough protein, and I drink alcohol, albeit a lot less than before. I've been going to the gym and lifting but haven't been regular about it.

I'm scared Wegovy won't work for me as well as MJ but my doc says it's better for me mentally, so I'll give it a try.

Can anyone who switched share some positive experiences?

The town (city?) is one of our stops on a 14 day trip of NT. We'll be there for 2 nights. What should we do or see?

I'm not from Australia (though happily live here now!) but I've noticed this warning, especially before film or TV, for at least 15 years? I've always wondered the significance.

Flared with "Triggering" because I don't know how sensitive this topic is.

We have ten days and would like to stay in Australia, possibly by the ocean. Any ideas?

I'm white, born in the US to parents also born in the US with grandparents also born in the US, but all from different parts. I was told that half my lineage is German/French, the other half probably Irish. I actually did a DNA test and found no German or French.

Bottom line, I have no mob, I have no connections to any land or people. I've lived most of my life in countries other than the US so I have no connection there, or really anywhere else I've lived. I have no parents, not aunts or uncles, and one sibling I don't speak to.

I love the Indigenous connections to the Earth and to one another. It's truly special but I wasn't aware how much moving to Australia would make me feel so alone.

Anyway, you all rock 💟

I'm new to Australia and am saddened and disgusted by the racism I see and hear about. I always thought Australians were better than that. I know racism has always existed, but like in the US, racists kept their views more hidden until Trump, then those cockroaches came out in droves.

Did his being elected have that kind of influence here, too. Are racists and bigots more emboldened to speak out? Or has it always been like this?
