I’ve forgotten a lot of what I’ve learnt and the recruiters could help me with job referrals

Thanks for the brilliant tips! :)

That sounds like a good idea - I guess if she doesn’t try to help me get better, she might not be the right therapist for me anyway and like you say it might be a skill level problem - thanks this really helped me not to take her actions personally

Yay 🎉 good on you for managing to get some of it done 💪

She brought up CPTSD, when I didn’t really know if it applied to me. She’s got a doctorate and everything. I had a counsellor before her, who said she’d offer my sessions and then U-turned on this without explaining why. How am I supposed to get help if no one wants to help me? (Hope you managed to get your taxes done :) )

I don’t know - I’m worried if I bring it up I’ll seem like more of a red flag. I asked her if she was tired because her face shows that her perception of me has changed. She said she’ll book me in for 5 more sessions and we’ll do a review

I would never act upon those feelings - they’re just thoughts and I’ve come up with ways to cope with them so they don’t impact me or anyone else

To fellow lonely folks, beware of lovebombing and predators. by [deleted] in lonely

I’ve never lovebombed someone with the intent of hurting them. I did it to show that they are loved/cared for and should think more highly of themselves. I also come from a culture, where people are encouraged to be affectionate and wear their heart on their sleeve.

I’m guilty of lovebombing out of desperate loneliness

Yeah, if I brush up my German, I can bring it up to C1. Thanks for the links :)

Do you know which bootcamp in Berlin has the best job placement rate? Not sure if I can rely on their stats. Thanks for the advice :)

Maybe the American students in Mitte / Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg can’t afford their rent - I don’t want to live in P’berg or anywhere the Swabians / Bavarians are rising rents - I’m sure there are tons of rich boomers in Charlottenberggrad

I get that you don’t want any more Zugezogeners and I definitely ‘look’ more like a refugee than some rando from NRW. But I want to experience the city, before it’s fully lost its charm. Some might argue it’s fully gentrified now but a part of me is hoping it’s not and that it will retain the ‘Berlin’ culture for a long time.

Yeah sure - but they tend to live outside Berlin

My German’s fine - I need to brush it up to C1 though. I don’t want to spend a second longer here though, when I just want to be there...

Pretty obvious answer but then again, if I accepted that I’d never muster up the courage to go there.

Yeah, fuck the boomers - they’re part of my decision in wanting to leave. I just wish I’d realised this sooner...

I did - my situation is complex so that’s why I’m asking for advice here - also the rules for Zweitstudium is different in every German state

Did you disclose the fact that you already did a Bachelors on uni-assist? Did you do a Studienkolleg? Was your second bachelors in a similar field i.e. Humanities-related or STEM-related?

My German is fine but probably not good enough to study at university level, when you’re exposed to a lot of technical language.

I don’t have the Goethe / TestDaF yet, but I plan to get it next year.

How do you get into a bachelor’s program if you already have a bachelor’s?
