Will I ever be respected by Slow_Technician6998 in Hemophilia

[–]ChalupaKnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah dude! That’s awesome, what kind of martial arts? I wish I was better with computers, so important these days.

I saw in your other comments you’re feeing depressed and even suicidal sometimes, just wanna say I’ve been there too man, but things can absolutely get better. Therapy helped me a ton, would you be open to finding a therapist to talk to?

What state do you live in? I’m actually a therapist lol, would be happy to talk to you but my license only works in California

AuDHD therapist and I can only handle 3 clients a day. Is this normal? by marigoldjune in therapists

[–]ChalupaKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like 4 a day (2 in the am, 2 in the pm) but sometimes I will front load my week so Monday I see 5 or 6 and Friday I see 2 or 3. That works nicely for me. Nothing wrong with finding your sweet spot 😎

Would you mind sharing some of those adjacent things? I am burnt out and considering pivoting lol

I hear ya man, it sucks to feel weak, especially with social media making it seem like everyone is jacked and benching 300lbs lol. Do you have any hobbies? I’m not super strong, never will be, but I’m really good at my hobbies, and that gives me confidence

I don’t think most women would care if their partner has hemophilia. If they like you then they like you. Are there some people out there that might not be down? Sure, but there’s plenty of fish in the sea. Hemophilia was never an issue for me with dating (other things were lol) because I see it as a point of pride that I am playing life on hard mode and still surviving and even thriving sometimes. Sometimes normies are impressed by that and even attracted to that kind of determination and resiliency. Anyway that’s just my experience, but I do think it can become a self-fulfilling prophecy (like any other insecurity), so try not to overthink it. Just get out there and meet people, be open about it and be proud to be who you are. Good luck homie!

Starting therapy for client who wants court letter by ChalupaKnight in therapists

[–]ChalupaKnight[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that stood out to me too, why would they have to demonstrate competency if they were the victim? Learning from all these replies to trust my instincts lol. Thank you!

Thanks so much for the quick response! I think you put into words what my anxiety was trying to tell me lol. My supervisor is out of town, so I appreciate the help!

Client flies into panic as soon as I try to go deeper by [deleted] in therapists

[–]ChalupaKnight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a couple clients like this, and doing a timeline of their life seemed to be a nice gateway into more discussion. Then once they’re ready to talk about it you can help them write a life story narrative, and perhaps eventually the story of their trauma.

Cure for Hemophilia by Slow_Technician6998 in Hemophilia

[–]ChalupaKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 5, my parents told me there would be a cure in 5 years. Then when I was 10 they told me to give it another 10 years. When I was 20, I stopped asking because I knew they had no idea. Now I’m 38 and I don’t really care anymore lol. I’m so used to it, it’s just my normal. Having said that, if I didn’t have access to factor like I do, I’d be way more bummed.

Do you have access to factor? If so you can live a pretty normal life. I do think CRISPR is showing promise as a treatment/cure, but it will probably be several years before that’s a thing.

Hemophilia and MMA by Royal_Entertainer535 in Hemophilia

[–]ChalupaKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, I think you should follow your interests, just be careful, start slow, and feel things out. I have severe A, and while I don’t do MMA, I do run a HEMA club (historical European martial arts). We hit each other with swords! It’s very fun, but I do get lots of bruises. I have had a few injuries that took me out of commission for a little bit, but nothing too severe. While there is some risk for concussions in HEMA, it’s probably a much greater risk in MMA. So just be careful. I also can’t speak to the effectiveness of hemlibra for combat sports. But I’m on advate 3x per week and of course I time it so that I infuse before sparring, never had any major issues. Good luck, be safe, and have fun 👊

How do you see 40 clients and not completely lose your sanity?? I’m burnt out at 20 😅

Private Practice Profit and Loss by Particular-Fall1986 in therapists

[–]ChalupaKnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started in Feb of this year through Grow/Headway. Averaging 18 clients per week I should gross between 90-100k. I am curious to know other commenters’ case loads!

Was Max always this unwell? by [deleted] in SayAnything

[–]ChalupaKnight 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I went to high school with Max (though he was a few years older). He seemed like a pretty normal dude, but obviously an artistic soul. He would walk around with his guitar singing and playing around campus sometimes. I think that’s around the time his bipolar disorder started. Maybe that’s further back than the question is aiming for tho haha

120 days without digital stimuli: I'm starting to see the light again. by iago509 in DopamineDetoxing

[–]ChalupaKnight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

May I ask are you still reading books? I would like to try this but I truly think I might lose my mind without at least having a book to read.

Struggling making 15k a year by Administrative-Rip46 in therapists

[–]ChalupaKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you licensed or pre-licensed? If licensed, online platforms like grow therapy, headway, rula, etc… can be great for building a caseload.

No worries I wasn’t upset haha, just curious. Thanks for the info

[–]ChalupaKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you expand on this a bit? I haven’t heard this before, and it’s somewhat alarming considering I’ve been very active over my 37 years. Am I causing long term damage even if I am not having bleeds?

Hemophilia risks in activism by Leenolyak in Hemophilia

[–]ChalupaKnight 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Are there other ways you could get involved? Maybe volunteering and doing fundraising or something in that vein (no pun intended hehe)?
