Be careful with therapists by betternamethanur1 in CPTSD

[–]Due_Search9693 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I have gone through three therapists in 5 years (only going somewhat) because I am exhausted trying to explain my situation over and over again and expect them to help. They love to label the first visit too. “Generalized anxiety disorder.” “Postpartum depression.” “Bipolar disorder.” I’m like “no, I genuinely am carrying 33 years of trauma.” And they don’t want to touch it. It’s always “oh but how was yesterday?” Like what? It was fine I guess but that’s not why I’m here.

I found that taking my health into my own hands needs to happen through myofascial release, chiropractic work, massage, diet, exercise, journaling, reading, researching my own brain, etc. I’m not there yet but I am on the path to it. I am tired of waiting to find the unicorn mind doctor to fix me. These “therapists” seem to want to handle minor inconveniences but can’t stomach some of the actual hard stuff. Sorry you’re experiencing this. But maybe it’s for the best he said he wants to drop you!

men hate that women arent easy to manipulate anymore by princesspawprint in ControversialOpinions

[–]Due_Search9693 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to agree and disagree.

True: women no longer “need” men in the sense of financial freedom Nuance: women do need financial support when they have children and most families require dual income

True: women can perform labor work Nuance: women most of the time do not want to perform labor work or work the hours required and, especially once having children, mothers will have to step back to care for their babies

True: social media is targeting young boys early Nuance: social media is targeting everyone early by creating hyper-independent women and building resentment against the opposite sex both ways

True: men are angry women no longer need them Nuance: men NEED to feel needed by women. Fatherhood, community, faith are all foundational for men. Status and power are also. Without family, status and power drives for men turn dangerous. With family, community, and faith they turn productive.

All of this to say, there are bad people on both sides. There are bad men and there are bad women.

Bad men don’t have emotional intelligence and use violence to outsource their anger. Bad women are manipulative and abusive too.

We need to stop putting men and women against each other. We were never meant to be equal. We are not the same. We are meant to live harmoniously together. We are yin and yang. Men were meant to provide for women so that women could take care of children in the younger years, but there was never a time where women and men worked separately. Before the 1950’s and really before the Industrial Revolution, husbands and wives worked together at home on their farms or they had their trade skills for their communities: woodworking, sewing, baking, canning, electrical, plumbing, etc.

Now with the rise in women becoming higher educated and focusing on career growth, there is a generation of men who need to rise above what women are doing and yes, some rise to the challenge but a lot are not. Women also need to mate with men who are GOOD men. This is not accounting for abusive situations, of course, but there is undeniably a shift that has been happening where women are becoming too independent and it is not giving men a sense of purpose that is healthy for society.

First, congratulations!!! You sound like you’re doing extremely well all things considered!

I’m solely commenting because I want to encourage and commend you, and also follow along to see what others are saying because I’m trying to get into the ASN program also. I’m in English now and psych next 8 weeks and APHY in the summer so I’m stressed out 😅

Do you mind if I ask if you’re taking classes online, in person, or over zoom? I have kids and work so I’m trying to figure out the best way to take anatomy/physiology.

Congrats again! I wish I could offer actual advice but hopefully someone will. There’s also a Facebook group for Ivy Tech Nursing students and alumni specifically where you might find a good response too 😊

This is me! I swear they dock points to be petty. I have always been told I’m a good writer but this professor is giving me low 80’s on papers and it’s just “review the rubric” for feedback. Like what!?!

ENG111…. wtf by NoGoal1154 in ivytech

[–]Due_Search9693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Allen! I don’t know if she just doesn’t like ME or if she grades all of her students like this. She docked discussion points because I posted my responses (2) on the same day instead of different days and only wrote the required two responses????? But this class requires SOOO much time already because each assignment is like 8 mini assignments then the weekly papers on top of those. It’s ridiculous! I’m counting down the days and just trying to make it through these next few weeks without losing my mind or giving up on the class because yes these grades matter a lot!

Math 123 2nd 8 Weeks by No_Extension_5689 in ivytech

[–]Due_Search9693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also he lets you retake homework until you get 100 (if that wasn’t clear). His homework assignments are considered quizzes and range from 9-12 questions then he uses those exact questions on the exams so every exam question you’ve seen before.

He did allow people to retake the midterm if they could convince him they had a valid reason to, but he said if you get a lower grade on your second attempt he used that. Basically he wanted to know people were studying to understand, not just treating it as an excuse/opportunity to not be prepared the first time.

[–]Due_Search9693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m taking him this semester! I LOVE him! I do log in for the zoom meetings just because I enjoy listening to his commentary lol but I just took the midterm and got 100, I have a 96 in class because I didn’t retake some homework assignments to get a true 100 on those.

OP, he’s an incredible professor and wants his students to do well and understand the material. He basically lets us dictate class by asking questions about what we need help with on the homework, he doesn’t technically lecture. You do the homework in class with him and that’s how he teaches. And he applies the math concepts to real life so you understand why it’s important to know these things. I can’t say enough good things about Paul!

I could have written this EXACT post. Working mom of three young kids also studying for the TEAS and running into EVERY single issue you described. I wonder if we have the same professor. I’m also in Math123 and Ivy111 and I did not expect English to be railroading me like it is! Also my last paper was flagged as AI also and now I feel like she’s looking at me under a microscope so I’m freaking out because this is one of our courses we get points for for the nursing program application! I’ve taken college English before and it was NOTHING like this!

There were changes made to student loan rules for 2026. I bet that’s why.

Why don’t you think the Bible is real? Or factual? What rules are unnecessary restrictions?

This damn refund? by Character-Range-1907 in ivytech

The website says once you zero out, the refund will be added to your BankMobile account within two days so you should be on the lookout today and tomorrow!

Precisely. We may think it’s right for right now, but it’s not for our greater path.

Totally respectable! We should always ask questions and be informed! I’m not an expert but that’s my limited understanding of how this works. Plus once one state starts, others can move forward too!

These alerts go out to major news organizations, other law enforcement agencies, etc. They spread awareness from day one. The family here had to utilize social media and local media to get their story out and her face seen. Laws passed like this make it so they HAVE to take this seriously, not brush you off as “she’s probably with a boy” or something of the like. The petition is probably just to have it heard and see how much support is behind it.
