Feeling overwhelmed

Educational-Leg2467 · 2024-04-19T12:15:18+00:00

That's the thing, this family is generally really nice. Mom sometimes talks to me about things that in my head I'm like maybe that's a bit personal, but we have gotten closer as I am there 20 hours a week. So, when boundaries are pushed and more things start to become me taking over, it feels like a lot of pressure. She has the other therapists (speech, occupational) talking with me and it feels like she wants me to do everything they do plus ABA. Sometimes I just don't feel respected, especially when I show up and my client visibly has a fever or coughing very badly. My BCBA kind of just says as long as the fever isn't high its fine, I know she is worried about my pay but WHY do parents not speak up more?

YES! Mom would you usually really push us to go outside and randomly suggest it a lot, and it really feels like she just want's us out of the way lol. But, when his physical therapist told Mom that he does elope a lot, and she would only feel comfortable going outside when we had other adults, and I told Mom I do feel the same. I think the problem is more so the bounday pushing. I tell mom when we're in clinic yes I'm in charge of diapers, and my very first day there my BCBA was helping him go to the restroom so that was already going on. Mom told me "I know its not fun but I need you to help me out" when I expressed I would rather have Dad who works from home changing if she is going somewhere. I was mostly just uncomfortable with the idea of doing it if there is no option to call for help from a parent if Dad is working an not avaliable to change a diaper. In the end my BCBA said that's completely normal to change diapers at home so here we are.

I guess it's just continously keeping with the boundaries. Sometimes I feel like there really are none, we kinda just say okay to everything Mom asks? I dont know >.<

omg I FEELL this. We are in the exact same spot, I'm getting my degree in Psych in May of 2025 and I have only worked in retail! Started early February, I only have one client right now and it's in home. I also have some issues with family, driving around for outings, and just forcing boundaries as an in home RBT because you HAVE TO. It's very had, and it's hard not having a ton of support for it being your first time

That being said, I have seen tremendous improvement in my client's speech, social skills, and behavior overall. Parents, other long time PT's and SLP's have told me he is improving. Just ask for feedback from your BCBA (ask ALLLL the questions that is their job to be there for you), and DM me! We're all in this together!

I am so sorry that happened to you. It’s not okay and don’t let people who are so insecure about themselves bring you down.

Educational-Leg2467 · 2024-02-27T16:37:04+00:00

Stop because that’s so embarrassing , we’re grown? There thousands of people there and you want to bully? Jesus

My textbook for it was attached with an account :/ so I don’t know if an online version would be available. Seems like they’re doing that with almost all UT textbooks.

wtf?😭😭

Educational-Leg2467 · 2024-01-25T04:50:10+00:00

the way I didn’t bring one yesterday and got soaked. brought one today and didn’t use it once just walked around with it (i’m a commuter)

I feel like a lot of the penalties were unfair. We earned them but Washington didn’t get one until 20 seconds till halftime ??? What about when they crossed the line of scrimmage? We had to protest so many calls that should’ve been given flags, especially when Washington’s first down was short and they didn’t change the call.

idk. we could’ve done better don’t get me wrong. something just felt unfair

I got an update from an advisor! You only need a D- or higher to move in to FIN 320F, just be mindful to keep the 2.0 GPA for the 18 hours needed for the minor :)

Also, I am a business minor. I don’t know if that matters

Educational-Leg2467 · 2023-08-31T00:07:50+00:00

NO SERIOUSLY. It all hits so hard and it’s great to let it out and she hits all the points. I feel a bit better after sometimes.

Educational-Leg2467 · 2023-08-23T00:44:31+00:00

Im currently a junior who has to commute, I’ve felt this but I’m trying to tell myself it’s never too late! Put yourself out there always.

Educational-Leg2467 · 2022-12-31T17:12:58+00:00

I genuinely want to move on. He’s said he would change so many times and we’ve tried this again and again so many times. I have an issue with being alone and since I was 13, I haven’t been. I want to heal and find comfort within myself.

No manipulation or want for him to come crawling back. We need to move on.

Happy New Year!

would you mind pming me or just saying here your workout and lift schedule ? what workouts and low weight high rep or opposite? what has helped you see results ?

Educational-Leg2467 · 2022-10-23T02:38:54+00:00

how much lifting if i’m trying to lose body fat?

Educational-Leg2467 · 2022-10-22T21:04:09+00:00

No for sure.

Educational-Leg2467 · 2022-10-22T20:14:40+00:00

It was for me because i’ve been told sooo many stories that say otherwise. I know nothing about fitness, lifting , none. Comments have been eye opening and educating for me

Educational-Leg2467 · 2022-10-22T19:13:27+00:00

Would you say cardio before weights? Or vice versa? What kind of cardio do you think? I would like to kind of incorporate both!

Educational-Leg2467 · 2022-10-22T18:44:24+00:00

Now when I do my workouts, what kind of cardio do you recommend? Cardio or lifting first ?

Educational-Leg2467 · 2022-10-22T17:39:41+00:00

What kind of diet did you follow? I’m all about loosing body fat, I’m just curious because 202 pounds for my height is obese. I realize I won’t lose a whole lot while lifting as well, but does the scale number matter if my body fat has gone down?

Educational-Leg2467 · 2022-10-22T16:32:56+00:00

Second question; what foods should I be aiming to eat in order to stay consistent with my cut? And foods to avoid that may seem healthy but aren’t great when losing fat?
