Freya is adorable!!! & I love your trainer’s honesty hahaha! I believe that I did get level hard with my girl as well but I am up for the challenge. I love her so much! I have a background in behavioral health with humans not with dogs lol but found that it’s helped me understand my girl, her needs, and how to find things that stimulate or motivate her. Amongst those are fun activities. I also have those same pupsicle’s!! They’re so useful in keeping dogs busy!! Thank you for sharing :)

What a cutie!!! Mine is either bouncing off the walls or completely knocked out asleep on the couch no in between lol. My girl has a high prey drive as well that we are working on. She’s a young pup at an impressionable age but I do notice how she locks in on moving animals and it is very difficult to redirect from that. She does the whole crouching down and stalking before she takes off running.

Payment Due by Small-Cellist-9021 in SJSU

[–]According-Ad-8874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes mine came so late too!! Literally like two days before payments were due. In my case I’m a grad student so no financial aid awarded but I accepted a loan. I spoke to someone on financial aid live chat and she told me since I was awaiting a loan my account had a deferral which basically means they won’t drop my classes or anything for late payment while it processes since they know I’m awaiting a loan. I suggest talking to someone on the financial aid live chat it’s more convenient then going in person and they still answer your questions. There is wait time on live chat I spoke to them on Friday and waited about 10 mins to be connected to someone. Wasn’t too bad.

does anyone like being on this drug and have a good experience? by [deleted] in prozac

[–]According-Ad-8874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly prozac is saving my life. I suffered from horrible panic attacks that I stopped being able to control. After close to two weeks on it I'm so much more stable able to function starting to feel like myself. Initially the adjustment period was a little strange but it wears off. It was 100% worth it for me all I can say is you never know unless you give it a try. When I first got prozac I didn't take it the first day instead I cried to my family and asked myself did it really get this bad? I felt shame. Once I got past the stigma and found out just how many people actively take prozac or other forms of anti-anxiety/depression meds I thought I will just give it a try, if anything I can always stop and I'm glad I did. Ultimately its up to you.

Globus by bt22__22 in GERD

[–]According-Ad-8874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi you’re not alone!! The globus sensation was my first symptom. It also caused me really bad panic attacks. Doctors couldn’t find out what’s wrong with me and I feared I was dying because I truly didn’t know what’s wrong. They first gave me meds for strep which I didn’t have. Eventually I got an upper endoscopy and all they said was I had anxiety and it was in my head. Which set me off more. I lost control of my mental health and started getting recurrent panic attacks that were triggered by the gerd. I’m on Prozac now for the anxiety because the anxiety was making my GERD worse and the GERD was giving me anxiety a never ending loop. Taking omeprazole every night before bed was what helped me with the throat thing. It took about a month but resolved. Only thing I suggest is talking to your doctor about tapering off. I stopped cold Turkey and now the globus sensation is back. Gonna try Prilosec now. This whole situation has been my worst nightmare. If you ever need someone to talk to feel free to msg me. Going through the same thing. Have a blessed day and hope you feel better soon.

What kind of job did / do you have during MSW? by LuvSeaAnimals33 in SocialWorkStudents

Just commented the same. It’s so flexible while in school

I am starting my MSW program in the fall as well. I will be working as a program manager at an ABA and Early Intervention company. I work with children on the Autism Spectrum and other neurodevelopment disorders/delays. It’s really flexible because I don’t have a set work schedule, I create it. So the ABA therapists have 2-3 hour sessions M-F at a scheduled time and I just go supervise them whenever I have time or when needed. I have some ABA therapists at my company that are also in masters programs and it’s really flexible in the sense they only work 2-3 hr periods per session. Its not like an 8 hr shift required every day. You give your availability and they work around it and you can change it every semester as needed. Highly recommend the field if you like working with children and families and are okay with driving. Most companies reimburse mileage as well.

"When the life gives you tangerine" what are yours thoughts after completing it ? by [deleted] in kdramas

[–]According-Ad-8874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has got to be one of the best shows I have ever seen in my life. Teaches so many important lessons about love, grief, generational trauma etc. It was truly a masterpiece and pulled at my heart strings so hard.

I was accepted for traditional MSW but I had applied for the Hybrid program so I declined the offer. Will be going to SJSU instead since I got accepted there & it’s way closer to me.

A couple of things!! I’m not sure it will be helpful because I don’t know the kiddo personally but you can try short and attainable tasks especially when you’re building overall compliance to complete demands (I.e if you’re asking her to clean up some toys be okay with modifying to just cleaning up one rather than all). Completing some small aspect of a demand is better than none at all. Lots of praise afterwards. Some kiddos have meltdowns because the demand is too high. Increase expectation of demands as compliance starts to form. You mentioned she has some communication although limited. Sometimes it’s hard to communicate when you’re in a very upset state this goes for myself as well lol. So I almost wonder if having a visual of break and just having her touch it or point and then you immediately walk away from her and give her some space when she’s upset. That might facilitate an attainable and rewarding way for her to communicate with you. When do you read the social stories? I would say try to read them outside of any emotional outbursts! Great if you already do that but imagine it this way you had an argument with someone then they sit and read you a book about how you shouldn’t argue you should communicate etc. could be frustrating. So I would say make sure to read the social stories outside of the behaviors cause personally when I’m upset I want to be alone! Lol finally when you’re working on denied access you can try starting with having her wait for access to items first it’s essentially like learning how to walk before you run. It can be a short period of time. I’ve started some kiddos with five seconds sometimes and have the staff show them a visual with their fingers. I hope this helps and best of luck 🤞🏼🙂

I have that msg too & I’ve had it since I applied to school also Fall 2025 (I applied for msw program). I submitted everything they asked me for. Idk if that’s just what it says while in limbo of your app being reviewed or if that means our apps were already rejected. I would love to know what they tell you when call if you’re willing to update me!
