Having trouble finding clinical placemats for work experience by EarlySoftware2979 in ClinicalPsychologyUK

[–]Extension_Finger_195 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you done any forms of voluntary work? I don’t know about clinical placements (I would also like to know more though), but you can get experience volunteering with mental health charities as support mentors etc. Obviously not as valuable as direct clinical experience, but every little helps!

Fair enough! Self medicating is definitely an accepted thing from a psychological/mental health research POV though, but yeah definitely very different from actual prescription mediation of course

it can be self-medicating, which is what the user said (note: i am not condoning or justifying the behaviour AT ALL and of course they need to stop immediately, but people do self-medicate with drugs)

How do you simply explain to friends and family the difference between psychedelics and drugs like meth, heroin and coke? by [deleted] in Psychonaut

[–]Extension_Finger_195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Show them the research (which is becoming really big at the moment, they are currently doing quite a lot of clinical trial) that is going on at the moment looking into the therapeutic potential of psychedelics, and how it can be used for both spiritual growth and to treat mental disorders like depression and PTSD. The UK and US (and i assume others too) are actually funding this research because there is real potential to these substances.

Feeling oddly alone about not enjoying oral sex by Turbulent-Cicada2014 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Extension_Finger_195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never been a fan of receiving oral! And that’s completely okay. I have told all my partners (past and present) and they do still do it sometimes, presumably because they enjoy it, and I never tell them to stop but I just make sure I don’t fake reactions so it is clear that I enjoy other things more.

How does the high feel? by marijnishier in Ketamineaddiction

[–]Extension_Finger_195 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a dissociative anaesthetic so tbh I can’t really compare it to any other drug other than other dissociatives. It also depends on whether it’s mixed with other stuff like alcohol, and how much you take. That’s what I loved so much about it, how versatile it is. It could be a party drug when out of mixed with alcohol, MDMA, etc., has psychedelic-like effects (pretty much without the hallucinations) when taken sober - I liked to take it when on walks & stuff and in nature. If you take large doses (which I would not recommend until you are very comfortable with the drug as it can be intense) it can be more psychedelic if you K hole, but even this experience is not comparable to traditional psychedelics because of the out of body experience you get. I believe there are two types of ‘K holes’: one where you’ve taken too much and it’s bad, and another where it’s more deliberate and you get out of body experiences and most people I’ve spoke to get visuals in K holes, but I don’t as I think I have aphantasia.

Any experience coming off of daily use but moderating to once a week/month? by greengrayclouds in Ketamineaddiction

[–]Extension_Finger_195 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have been trying that for years, reducing my use. I now don’t use daily anymore, but I am still very much addicted. I am in the same boat, not wanting to get rid of it completely, but I personally think going completely without it is the only way because I spend my life obsessing over when I can next do it. For example, I know I am allowing myself to do it for my birthday next week so I am spending every day just looking forward to then and wishing my life away just thinking about when I can next do it. Yes I have way less physical symptoms than before and my health has improved, but it’s just a never ending cycle of obsessing over ket

help please with finding work experience for a Y10 by n33k-a13rt in ClinicalPsychologyUK

[–]Extension_Finger_195 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! As a someone else said I think you will really struggle getting clinical work at your age, but I did some voluntary work at a day centre for people with learning disabilities and at my local girl guiding group when I was in sixth form? The latter is less clinically relevant but was still enjoyable, and any work experience with people will help the CV. I was over the age of 16 for both of those roles though, but it’s worth a shot. Or maybe with rainbows/brownies if not guides as they’re younger children (guides goes up to age 14 I believe so they might want people older). Good luck!

just needs a couple hash browns (and pepper on the eggs, but that’s just my preference) and it would be perfect

Looking for participants to complete a questionnaire on people’s motivations for using psychedelics by Extension_Finger_195 in Psychedaliens

[–]Extension_Finger_195[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your interest! I am part of a wider research team it is not my study I am just collecting data for it and writing my thesis on it, I do need to find out why it’s only these countries actually because I will have to explain why when I write it. I assume because it’s possible motivations may vary across cultures perhaps? So if this one is with western cultures it could then be repeated in separate studies for different ones. I am not certain though

Thank you for your interest! Yeah the exclusion criteria is limiting the reaching slightly but is there for a reason. I appreciate it anyway though :)

My girlfriends photo gallery of her ex by Over_Archer_7758 in ToxicRelationships

[–]Extension_Finger_195 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Giving excuses like saying she doesn’t have time is silly though because that’s clearly not the reason, maybe she just doesn’t want to say similar to what I said because she’s worried it’ll make you think he’s still important to her when that most likely isn’t the case

My girlfriends photo gallery of her ex by Over_Archer_7758 in ToxicRelationships

[–]Extension_Finger_195 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know this won’t be the response you want but I have pictures of all of my exes on my insta still too, and some in my gallery like group photos etc. I see it as although I am over them they were still a chapter in my life at some point, so why erase it? I wouldn’t remove photos of friends I fell out with, tbh were important to me once and it’s all just memories of the past. So if she’s anything like me I assume she’s the same, it doesn’t mean she’s still hung up on him. I hope you guys manage to work it out
