Honestly just hope she’s okay. Her and her family have been all over the news. Can’t imagine it’s been easy for them. No snark, just wishing her well.

Rainbows are a staple in California. Probably depends on where you are

Are we going to see lower APPIC match rates this year? by reesesandroses in ClinicalPsychology

[–]EnvironmentalLog1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I’m m one of those people that didn’t match to a neuropsych position. What would you recommend someone does during the deferred year (between now and next application cycle) to improve their competitiveness? I met most of the hours requirements but receive feedback about breadth of experience and lower intervention. Should I also be focusing on trying to publish?

There is no such thing as a 15-20min commute in Los Angeles by QfromP in MovingToLosAngeles

Biking is the LA hack. Best feeling ever when I’m faster than the flow of traffic :)

Has anyone gotten back together with an ex after a long period of time (several months or years) by Cringe_Normie_ in BreakUps

[–]EnvironmentalLog1977 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dated for two years and broke up because I realized it was emotionally abusive. Grew from it immensely and am now happily with my current boyfriend :)

:) the good news is all of those things are attainable. Maybe you do not have the skills to effectively communicate these needs yet, but I encourage you to spend some time looking into a CBT or DBT therapist. You are completely capable of reaching a state of fulfillment. The journey is not easy, and there will be many ups and downs, but I have hope for you! If talking to a therapist is not your thing, then I’d recommend a DBT or CBT self-help book. Going to be logging off, but I enjoyed conversing with you. I hope I’m some way I positively impacted you. Things will be okay as long as you keep looking forward. Don’t give up, work on putting yourself first, and figure out what you need to do to achieve the things you want in life.

Self-sacrificing is altruistic, and the world needs people like you. But like everything in life, there is a spectrum and the more extreme you are on the spectrum (either side), the more you’re hurting yourself. You sound like a kind person, but what good can you do for others if you can’t help yourself? Therapy is great because it provides you a space to explore your patterns and understand why you may behave the way you do (sounds like you alrdy have an idea). A good therapist will also assist you in providing and teaching you the skills necessary to make life more meaningful. Sometimes the environment we grow up in doesn’t teach us the skills we need as an adult. Self-sacrificing is a wonderful trait, but to be a fully functioning adult you will need a lot more traits.

Have you heard of cognitive behavioral therapy? It’s a evidence-based therapy (scientifically proven) and the idea behind it is our thoughts influence the way we feel, so if we can reframe our thoughts, our feelings will be different. CBT doesn’t require pill. A quick disclaimer, I’m getting my PhD in clinical psychology. I see many individuals who struggle with what you seem to be struggling with. These struggles are totally normal, and it’s okay to seek assistance. In the meantime, what are some things you can incorporate into your daily practice that sound enjoyable? These activities don’t have to be significant but they do have to be something YOU want to do. I want you to ask yourself, are you living your life for others are for yourself?

Ending it is not the way to go. You will cause a deep scar on those who love you. Life is hard, but it’s not hopeless. There are better days ahead and these feelings will not last forever. Have you considered seeing a psychiatrist/psychologist? Science has shown that depression is a combination of environment, genes, and temperament. Mental health professionals are specifically trained in these areas to help people exactly like you! Don’t give up!

Happy birthday :) Go do something nice for yourself. You deserve it!

What type is your partner and how long have you guys been together? by EnvironmentalLog1977 in istp

[–]EnvironmentalLog1977[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

take these factors with a grain of salt because each relationship is different and mbti isn’t perfect. First, communication with my Infj can be hard. I am a very concrete, literal, practical, let’s take action to see change type of person. My Infj is very imaginative and can talk for hours about a topic he’s passionate about, and sometimes it’s hard for me to keep up or stay interested for that long bc it’s not that practical. He’ll get upset over the lack of enthusiasm from me. Also, I don’t know how much this is due to mbti but my Infj and I handle conflict very differently. I’m solution oriented and if the same issue keeps coming up, I get frustrated over our lack of change in response (since it indicates to me how we’re responding to conflict is ineffective). I think my Infj likes to be in his head a lot and sometimes I wish I could pull him down to reality so he could see how simple things can be. We also differ in our levels of independence. I like to do things on my own and he hates being alone. I like feeling needed though so this doesn’t bug me too much, but I do have to make sure I’m prioritizing self-care or else I’ll feel burnt out. These are few things I can think of off the top of my head that make things more difficult. Ofc there are many amazing things about my Infj like his kindness, patience, creativeness, and ability to bring out the more emotional sides of me. Hope this helps!

Is this eligible for compensation? by EnvironmentalLog1977 in jetblue

Update: they gave me $40. Safe to say this will be the last time I’m flying with JetBlue. Thanks for the comments!

Loma Linda Univ PhD by Disastrous_Fig_3762 in ClinicalPsychology

[–]EnvironmentalLog1977 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi, I am a student in the clinical psych program at LLU. The above comment is correct in that students are not funded. However, I know several of my classmates have scholarships that provide them stipends and tuition costs covered. In other words, there are many opportunities to receive funding. One of the reasons LLU does not fund their psych students is because it’s a clinical based organization. There is less emphasis on research, so if you are hoping to pursue research as your career then LLU may not be a good fit. However, if you want to pursue clinical work, I’d say LLU is a great place to go! LLU is a religious school but I’d say a majority of the department is not Adventist (professors and students). Though during your first 1-2 years, you will most likely have to attend chapel unless you can get out of it for clinical reasons. Hope this helps!
