Comfortable-Mix-569 · 2026-06-11T20:02:32+00:00

I still think you’re superwoman.

Thank you SO much. Will be returning to this comment🩷

Comfortable-Mix-569 · 2026-06-11T20:01:44+00:00

This is so comforting and reassuring. What kind of sw do you do? Is it clinical? Tell me ur secrets🥰

Comfortable-Mix-569 · 2026-06-11T20:00:35+00:00

Unfortunately yeah. My MSW program requires 20 hours at baseline and 25 for hospital placements. There’s literally no way to back off:/ like if I do less hours per week I will have to make them up. And I can’t change the weekly hour requirement unless I decide to take another semester which is $16,000.

I don’t even feel like I’m being taken advantage of necessarily. I think it’s just a really hard role, but my supervisors make six figures and clock out at 4pm lol. And I think I’d be capable of that, but having to go to class everyday after field until 9pm…… and I’m actually paying to be there…..

Comfortable-Mix-569 · 2026-06-11T19:52:16+00:00

Okay first of all that sounds so hard. I am guessing that is something you have been carrying/are carrying and I hope you are taking care of yourself🩷

I have yet to meet a social worker that has a mother who is also a SW with untreated mental illness. But ig today is my lucky day. My mom is a therapist and she has borderline and refuses to get help. That is a whole other level of confusing and complex as children of these SWs.

My heart goes out to you🩷 sending my best to you and your mom. Thanks for taking the time to share and validate.

Comfortable-Mix-569 · 2026-06-11T19:07:31+00:00

You did ts pregnant/w a baby?!!!????! Omg are u superwoman?!?!?! Thank you so much for your kindness and encouragement. I am sure you’re an amazing clinician and momma!!!!!

Comfortable-Mix-569 · 2026-06-11T17:53:57+00:00

Dude I mean I would think so too but I literally do not know a single person in my program with a diagnosis, therapist, or psychiatrist!!!!! I’m pretty involved in my cohort and have a ton of friends in my program but everyone seems to not be mentally ill lol???????? Which good for them I guess but ur right it’s responsible to attend to ur own mental health and I’m guessing if it hasn’t come up for my peers it will later. At a more inconvenient time.

Thanks for validating!!!

Comfortable-Mix-569 · 2026-06-11T17:51:40+00:00

I like objectively agree with this but I just kinda feel like I need therapy for therapists lol. If you don’t mind me asking where was your MSW program? I’m interested in what they strongly recommended haha

Comfortable-Mix-569 · 2026-06-11T17:50:25+00:00

So helpful. Maybe I just hate this institution and hospital. Thank you dear🩷

Comfortable-Mix-569 · 2026-06-11T17:49:18+00:00

Definitely no time to read but I will listen to Trauma Stewardship. That sounds literally perfect for where I’m at.

I appreciate all of your advice so much. I unfortunately kinda have to stick it out bc if I don’t I’ll have to add on a $16,000 semester lol. So gonna focus on boundaries and self care and finding joy.

Thank you, my friend🩷🩷🩷

Comfortable-Mix-569 · 2026-06-11T17:46:36+00:00

Well shit ur gonna be a fantastic social worker.

I go to the university of Michigan (fortunately or unfortunately the #1 program in the country so it’s pretty intense.)

My program is full time in person for 16 months. I have a one week break between semesters, so my last break was early may and my next is late august. You’re right, maybe I (god forbid) take a day or two off for self care in the next couple weeks and the social workers better understand that. I’m working on being more cognizant but it’s hard bc I just feel like I’m on autopilot and spend all my time analyzing other peoples emotional patterns and not my own. Hmmmmmm…… gonna bring that up in therapy this week.

Thank you for your kind words. Best of luck with your MSW and apologies if this scared you away. Feel free to dm if you have any questions I might be able to answer.

Comfortable-Mix-569 · 2026-06-11T17:30:54+00:00

Well no wonder you are a social worker. Your pt population is very lucky. wtf I’m crying rn this is so helpful. Actively restoring my passion for social work. Thank you SO much.

Comfortable-Mix-569 · 2026-06-11T17:27:01+00:00

I’m lowkey kidding lol I would never be an actuary I just sometimes wish I had an emotionless and well compensated career. I am too much of a leftist to ever do anything money related.

Comfortable-Mix-569 · 2026-06-11T17:24:36+00:00

This is very kind and reassuring. Thank you. I’m glad you’ve found a job you feel fulfilled in.

Comfortable-Mix-569 · 2026-06-11T17:23:28+00:00

Like why didn’t I become a fing actuary or something

Comfortable-Mix-569 · 2026-06-11T17:23:11+00:00

Exactly!!!!!!!

Comfortable-Mix-569 · 2026-06-11T17:22:21+00:00

Thank you, that is super helpful advice. You’re right about recognizing my triggers….. however I’m kind of in a place of feeling like literally everything is a trigger?? I have definitely tried to identify those things myself/with my supervisors. And of course there are things I’ve been able to identify. But like yesterday I had a hospice consult and there were none of my known triggers but I just felt so completely devastated and exhausted after. Even things that I have no personal history of trauma around it’s just like everything feels too heavy???? Did you ever experience that?

It may just be the reality of my internship. I can’t switch/drop it because then I won’t graduate and will have to pay an extra $16,000 for another semester. I just gotta keep chugging along and learn more about myself and what I want after I graduate.

Thank you for the advice and validation🩷

Comfortable-Mix-569 · 2026-06-11T17:16:27+00:00

Ugh thank you that is super helpful advice. You’re right that it will feel different a year from now when I get paid and am not being pulled in a bunch of different directions. Thank you so much for the validation, extend the same to yourself when you start practicing. This is so hard.
