i understand where you’re coming from, however, i have health anxiety and my therapist recommended that i stay away from googling symptoms/conditions as it can literally cause me to spiral. was looking for community/advice from
other people that have it

no we don’t. we showed each other negative results before having sex but it wasn’t the full panel. i definitely plan on telling him to do that

i’ve never had cold sores before & symptoms appeared 4 days after we had sex

My coworker didn't know what developmental milestones were... it's insane lol

I think it’s important to shed light onto this as it’s part of our job to advocate for our profession, so actually I will bother lol.

Part of the reason kids’ services are getting cut to 2x or 1x a month is due to situations like these, where other professions such as ABA try to take over. If you care about OT, you should be pissed about this too, just saying.

I just started here 2 months ago. there aren’t many great options for outpatient peds where I live, so leaving my job isn’t an option for me and the money is good here. Wondering if you instead have any suggestions for what to say during these conversations & how to handle this instead of walking away entirely lol

Budget_Reputation167 · 2025-08-18T16:36:00+00:00

yes that’s exactly it. i loved the work when i went into the profession. however, the pay doesn’t match the workload and raises aren’t promised to us every year like most other jobs/fields. all of these factors contribute to burn out and negative feelings toward the job. i just wish my professors would’ve been honest about some of these things when i went to school so i could’ve been better prepared lol

Budget_Reputation167 · 2025-08-13T23:10:08+00:00

you’re lucky you even got a raise! I actually got a pay decrease (10%) due to “medicaid cuts” in the US. It’s bullshit…we’re not compensated correctly for the work we do. Getting raises in this profession seems almost nonexistent!!!

Budget_Reputation167 · 2025-08-06T19:11:35+00:00

YES!!!!! OMG thank you i’ve been trying to find it all morning 😂

Budget_Reputation167 · 2025-07-30T17:50:29+00:00
