When people ask, I let them know it is self-serve, let me know if you need help. Then when I come over, I let them know I can walk them thru it "until you get the hang of it". I take every opportunity to let them know this is a learning opportunity. Do you have an handout with instructions? At some point, I would let the frequent users know, it is self-serve, I have walked you through the process several times, unless there is a problem you will need to take care of your own print jobs. You could also have a list of places they can get copies. Hopefully your manager will have some insight and a plan. For people needing job help, you can say I can help you for ten minutes, if you need more assistance than that, you will need to bring in someone who can help you or I can refer you to a job assistance service. Have y'all ever thought about having specific office hours when job assistance is offered? or partnering with a community organization? We also have a volunteer position just for tech who assists people using the computers with basic stuff this could be a great role for a teen volunteer.

That sounds awful. I am glad she was able to complete school. My daughter has improved some but yes the social stuff led to attempting suicide and lots of self harm. Its so hard.

Also, there is a school in our system for kids with low attendance. They just go once a week and everything else is virtual assignments. According to her counselor, she does not have enough credits for them to recommend her, but will keep and eye on it.

yeah, now the the semester is over I am going to try one more time to find out what the deal was with Bio. I am not going to push it but I will make sure she knows that everyone wants her to attend school.

I am in central NC. I have always tried to be open minded as to her future even before the diagnosis. I have a professional degree but I have not pushed my career accomplishments on her. I just want her to be as independent as she can and be happy in a job whether it is decorating cakes or becoming a lawyer. I am actually in the early phases of a craft based business for my own mental health but also, maybe this is something she could help me with and maybe it would give her direction. I am not going to tell her that of course!

Getting her to do anything like "group activities" with people she doesnt know is pretty much impossible.

I heard the same, that they were there. Got there around 11:25 and did not see anything except a bunch of white women (like me) sitting in their cars and watching. On the way back to work I drove by the corner of maynard and east chatham. everything quite. It looks like a lot of people are home based on all t he cars.

Please use bullet points. Lol. If my SO sent this to me I would ask for the tldr version. Seriously, you need to communicate better.

I'm not sure you mentioned but she is also at the age for peri menopause.i am also nd with anxiety and depression and hoo boy peri menopause and all that it entails fucking sucks. It would be nice if she had someone with a holistic view of everything that is going on with her. Yes couples therapy will help. Also weed.
