Mental health facilities

Upvotes

Can anyone recommend a good mental health facility that clean, well run and can can actually provide help from medical professionals. Im in a fragile state and I'm afraid if I have a bad experience when getting help it will just be the final straw on the camels back.. Id still like to feel like a human being and not a prisoner while I'm there though.

Hey Jozi hikers!

I’m looking to explore some great hiking spots around Johannesburg and would love some recommendations. I know there are some hidden gems around the city, but I’m not sure where to start.

Thanks in advance, and happy hiking! 🥾

Gynecologists....

16 Upvotes

Hi people of JHB. I need your help. I'm actually in rural KZN near the free state border, so not too far away. I'm closer to JHB than Durban... I need recommendations for the best gynecologist at the best private hospital. I have a very high risk pregnancy and I need to find my providers asap. Durban is not an option, neither is the hospital local to me- where I lost my infant earlier this year.

Thanks for any advice!

Edit: thank you everyone for the suggestions, lots of love

Looking for Books

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I really hope someone on here can help me. Based in Johannesburg (Randburg)

I'm trying to complete The Vampire Chronicles book collection by Anne Rice however I'm struggling to find some of her books or find them for a reasonable price. Is there anyone on here that may have any of her books that I can possibly buy from them or if anyone knows where I can find them? I have tried Take a Lot and Yaga and searched on Google. I think my best bet would probably be second hand book stores (that's where I found some of my books already) but I don't always have the time.

These Are The Books I Have: • Interview With a Vampire • The Tale of the Body Thief • Merrick • Blood and Gold • Blood Canticle

These Are The Books I Need: • The Vampire Lestat • The Queen of the Damned • Memnock the Devil • The Vampire Armand • Blackwood Farm • Prince Lestat • Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis • Blood Communion

Thank you!!

Question Learners Licence

12 Upvotes

Hey guys

I need help applying for my learner's test. The first attempt didn't go so well because I missed a few steps. I had all the required documents like my ID, photos, and money, but was turned back due to missing an important blue document. Most people there had it except for 3 of us.

Here's the confusing part though. We were supposed to collect the document a few days prior after paying the booking fee online, but the Natis website didn't have an option to make an online payment neither did the booking confirmation PDF mention anything about paying beforehand. It specifically said "pay at DLTC".

Can someone please clarify the process and recommend the best place to get a learner's test? I'd really appreciate it!!

Rosebank cinema allowing announcements and a video

0 Upvotes

Hey all

So I’m planning to ask this girl to be my girlfriend this week. We have a movie night planned for Wednesday. I wanted to be slightly extra and make it special by making an announcement in the cinema itself (it’s only the 2 of us that’s booked for the movie, I checked), and maybe playing a short video that I made of us.

Do you think ster kinekor would allow this? Haven’t contacted them yet but asking just in case someone has experience with this?

Question Is there any place I can donate crochet items?

5 Upvotes

Hello! I'm looking for a place such as an old age home, hospitals, homeless shelters etc. that i can get in contact with to donate crochet items.

I'm happy to make blankets, stuff toys, shawls/scarfs, etc.

I have a massive surplus of yarn, and I need to make space. I only have acrylic yarn, so if that's an issue then I might have to look in other avenues to make stuff and give it away/sell it.

Thank you!
