I'm still fairly new to Melbourne, moved here from Minnesota and I am struggling with this heat & humidity big time. Constantly drenched in sweat, no energy, how do you all cope?

Melbourne is pretty low humidity most of the time so I’m sorry you’ve experienced some this early. Generally we get a touch for a few weeks late jan/early feb but aside that it’s lowest humidity in the country. Heat wise and especially sun intensity it’s def different to North America. Try the beach if you’re close, or a public pool (lots of those) for relief - failing that a cold shower or a cold beer. Welcome to Melbourne

I didn't apply for a job that would have set me up for the future in the government. I wouldn't have to worry about money or future jobs. My boss had just given me a small pay rise and talked up the future and so I felt good. I now severely regret not applying for the job and cannot stop thinking about it to the point of insomnia and depression. I even contacted the employer but too late. It's a small town and rarely anything comes up. I hate myself and feel like I failed my family. :(

I’ve had a bad case of work anxiety ever since I started a new job ~7 months ago. The adjustment was ROUGH. I was making mistake after mistake. I powered through and somehow got glowing reviews at year end, with people saying I’ve moved past that point.

I’m convinced I’ve only tricked people and sooner or later they’re gonna catch on. I have extremely bad Sunday scaries, I’m always fighting down my anxiety whenever a new ask comes through. I don’t know what to do.

Hi everyone, I’ve been trying to land my first product design role and I can’t seem to get my foot in the door. I’ve asked mentors from ADPlist to review my LinkedIn and resume as well as my portfolio and I haven’t had any luck. I graduated from uni in 2020, was bedridden for a whole year which led me to fall behind and I’m embarrassed that I can’t seem to get a job after months of actively trying - I desperately need help as I’m on a Visa that requires me to be employed.
Any advice?
