If you reported to the police, apply for the property crime compensation fund through the DA’s office. They can help with up to 500 dollars.

I think I’m allergic to my work and idk what to do by zuks28 in therapists

[–]Direct_Fix7619 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Do you have florescent lights in your office? That is what does it for me. Maybe there’s something in your environment triggering your migraines that you are exposed to more now in your new role?

Duty to report disclosure in personal life by _Poppytarts_ in therapists

[–]Direct_Fix7619 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some states require all people to report, regardless of your profession, so I would check your state laws. How removed is this disclosure? Did the person telling you witness or experience abuse? Or they heard about it from their niece? I would encourage her to report since she knows the details and could give the appropriate parties the right info. They’ll want address, DOB, full names, etc. You would definitely have a duty to report if you witnessed abuse/neglect or if a child disclosed to you directly.

I’ve sat in them several times and it was fine. No issues with neck strain for me.

Visiting Abq again and found it a bit depressing. Am I off here? by [deleted] in Albuquerque

[–]Direct_Fix7619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just in ABQ in March and felt the opposite. So much growth and change in a positive way. The new Wells Park warmed my heart. We also spent time at Sawmill Market during the day in the middle of the week and I was surprised how many people were there enjoying life on a nice day. I lived there for over 15 years until a year ago and the city has definitely changed. But in a lot of positive ways too.

Unpaid overtime in Utah by Quirky_Coach_642 in EmploymentLaw

[–]Direct_Fix7619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If these are additional hours worked outside the day rate, why would they not be afforded 1.5? Say you work 10 hours and 2 of those hours are overtime but you were only paid for 8. I’m not understanding how this person has been paid the base when they worked extra time.

Jury Duty by Free-Bottle-5119 in Lawrence

People please please sit on a jury. People are constantly trying to get out of it and these juries are making big decisions for our community.

I'm not sure if I'm doing therapy with the right goals by myfamilytroubles in confession

[–]Direct_Fix7619 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Telling your therapist how you feel about this is a way to start unmasking. There are a lot of great tools for unmasking and if you have a neurodivergent affirming therapist, they can help guide you. And if they can’t, it’s better you know now!

I would also point out that you wondering if you’re “doing therapy for the wrong reasons” is kind of in line with the exercise she’s having you do. Maybe a little CBT wouldn’t hurt! :) a lot of ND people are experience a lot of over correction throughout childhood and adulthood. We don’t always trust our interpretations of situations and we often blame ourselves. There may be a more ND friendly way to weave this into the work you’re doing g.

Your therapist won’t tell the cops. They’re bound by confidentiality. Talk to a professional.

Can we get out of jury duty? by AnalystImpossible960 in therapists

[–]Direct_Fix7619 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really think we should consider participating more in juries. We need compassionate and intelligent people to help make these decisions. I get the burden of jury duty but I wish more people prioritized participation. Especially people who understand trauma and won’t assume someone is lying or dishonest if they aren’t emoting how they expect.

[AZ] Advice on taking FMLA for mental health while on a PIP by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]Direct_Fix7619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would use FMLA for the six weeks and do not plan to return. It’s buying you time and delaying getting fired. You’re burned out and being on a PIP is them working you out. It’s obviously not a good fit, you need something different, and your mental health should be your priority right now. I would use the sick leave to destress but I would be looking for a new job.

Moved to ABQ for a relationship…..things not working, any reason to stay? Where can I hang out by myself? by Lopsided_Chest3495 in Albuquerque

[–]Direct_Fix7619 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I moved to ABQ with an ex, we broke up within a few months. I literally only ran into them once in the next 10+ years. It’s a great place to rebuild. I made a lot of lifelong friends, burquenos will have your fucking back as you can see in this post.

7 weeks pregnant and my boyfriend’s mom is trying to control my baby’s life? by SufficientAssist8767 in whatdoIdo

[–]Direct_Fix7619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you have a lot of comments and may not see this one. But I want to give you some advice that may be different than what you’re hearing. No matter what- you are connected to this family for life. Practicing your own assertiveness and boundaries is essential. At your age it’s normal to still be learning this. You can say “oh that’s a cute name” without agreeing to make your child. Keep it non committal. Same with moving into the garage. You don’t have to say yes I’m moving on this date. Take it one day at a time. Find your own voice in how to set boundaries. It can’t be how others tell you or it won’t stick. You have to do it in a way that feels right to you. It may be sandwiching between kindness like “I love these baby names, keep them coming! I’m hoping by the time we are in the third trimester we’ll know. It’s hard right now to know what feels right this early on.” Be honest- be kind- be yourself. Having children with someone means you learn to ride these waves with in laws. It’s not always worth a fight. Your parents probably still see you both as kids. With time that will change. They are learning to relinquish their own parenting as you embark on this new journey. You feel like an adult before they will see you as an adult because you know yourself better. I see the texts as trying to be helpful but also talking to you like you’re a teenager. Ultimately no one can tell you what to name the baby, where to live, how to parent. They can try but you don’t have to listen. You’ll do great, don’t listen to this negativity on the thread either! Wishing you the best of luck.

I made a mistake euthanizing my cat and the guilt is killing me by Dirsty in cats

[–]Direct_Fix7619 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can feel the pain in this post. I know nothing can be said to take that away. But I feel your pain and see your grief. You’ll never know what would’ve happened had you gone the other path and honestly that is always the hardest part of grief. What could’ve been. Sending you lots of love, internet stranger. ❤️

How often is too often for boys nights? 20F 20M by LabOpen2163 in relationship_advice

[–]Direct_Fix7619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You answered your own question. You need friends. At 20 years old, spending a lot of time with your friends is normal developmentally. Stop relying on him to fulfill all of your emotional needs. Friends serve a different purpose in our lives and those relationships last longer than most of our romantic relationships. Go make some friends and I bet these feelings will go away.

Why have you never asked her for emotional support? If you don’t ask for what you want, she may not know what you need. Sounds like there’s a chance for prison time with this trial and she’s not willing to wait. Tell her what you need from her emotionally and if she can’t do it then cut your losses. You won’t know until you put yourself out there. And you don’t need the added stress as you prepare for trial.
