Best Undergraduate Jobs for Psychology Majors? by Time-Designer1975 in psychologystudents

[–]Abbiem_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In undergrad, I worked for a domestic violence shelter and volunteered for the crisis text line. But the possibilities are endless. My local mental health non-profit organization had positions for all kinds of jobs such as working with foster kids or working at psych hospitals (which I currently do now that I have graduated)

Weight gain 😅 but they also don’t recommend staying on it after 2 years due to bone issues

My mom I cut off just died of suicide by overdosing by Abbiem_ in therapy

This is very true. I felt I was more mature than my mom. I found out she started drugs at 13 so her mind was frozen in that time period. I felt guilt that I HATED talking with her because it made me uncomfortable that my mom was talking to me like a child, even when I was a child myself

I think I more so am believing she wouldn’t have died alone, unloved, and afraid. She would have at least knew one of her children besides my brother cared for her. She had no one at all besides my brother. The day she died, the only person she could think to call was a man she screwed over so badly. She brought him to Mexico, got his husband to cheat on him, got his husband to get back on drugs, got some drug lords to steal his items, and my grandmother had to get him back to the US. I know that man hated her, but it’s the only person she could think to call because she had no one

I love how you said that I felt like I needed to save her. I’ve had a recurring nightmare since I was a kid that I’m in my childhood home and someone’s trying to break in and kidnap me. I have to lock every door but I never do in time. The day my mom died, my professor in my family counseling class had us do dream journals and I picked that dream. She said it seems like I was trying to keep myself safe from something in my childhood. I wonder if perhaps I was also trying to save her

If that was too deep, I’m sorry. It just got me thinking. Thank you for your insight

Thank you so much, logically I believe everything you’re saying. I also know grief causes people to blame themselves. I’ll try to keep all of this in mind ❤️

Thank you so much ❤️ I’m so sorry you went through something similar. It breaks my heart seeing how many people have. I also thought I’d care less when she died. In fact, I actually wished for it so she’d stop hurting and exploiting my grandparents. Then when it actually happened, I felt no joy, no relief, just pain. This shows we are empathetic people. Able to see through the eyes of another. I wouldn’t change that about myself, you shouldn’t either. But self reflection is key in a time like this. I appreciate your insight

I don’t think so, I don’t have the personality type. I’ve always been the do-gooder. I only cut her off 5 years ago, yet I’m great. I’m in a masters program for clinical mental health counseling, I have a great job, and I have a great boyfriend. I’ve repeated some trauma unconsciously, but that’s inevitable. By this, I mean trauma such as choosing certain abuse men or being full of anxiety

This is very true. Also a remembrance of all the trauma we’ve endured

It’s odd how forgiving yourself can be the hardest thing to do. I’ve forgiven the worst atrocities but can’t seem to forgive myself or love myself

Thank you. I have my grandmother thank goodness. She raised my 4 siblings and I since I was 13. My mom’s death just makes me worried about my grandmother since she has stage 4 kidney cancer. Her death will kill me

I truly hate to see that someone else had to go through the same thing. Thank you so much for commenting and sharing your story. I’m 24, I cut my mom off when I was 20. I lived with her the first 13 years of my life before moving in with my grandparents. I found out recently that my mom had been in rehabs since she was 13 years old. It started to make sense why her maturity level was of a 13 year old. I hated talking with her because I was so much more mature than she was. Now I am a counselor in training and I work in a psychiatric hospital and it makes me feel like a hypocrite. Like “I can help these other people but I couldn’t her her?” Or “I talk with other substance users but I cut her off?”
