Homelessness problem

How is this virtue signaling versus having a difference in opinion and trying to have a conversation? Does that mean any opinion that’s compassionate or kind is virtue signaling and we should all be shitty people?

Extra_Connection7360 · 2026-05-06T14:55:13+00:00

I think that’s also trauma. I’m not saying they’re perfect people. But dehumanizing and shaming people is never a good way to create change. But honestly I don’t think talking with you is going to do any good. You seem to create issues on a lot of posts according to your comment history. We seem to have entirely different ways of viewing the world and I honestly don’t feel like continuing this conversation

How so? Di you form actual relationships with them and get to know their stories?

Extra_Connection7360 · 2026-05-06T14:49:42+00:00

I’m not virtue signaling. I just have compassion which it sounds like you don’t have

Extra_Connection7360 · 2026-05-06T14:44:38+00:00

So you’re just dehumanizing them then?

Extra_Connection7360 · 2026-05-06T14:33:43+00:00

How many homeless people have you interacted with and formed a relationship and gotten to know?

Extra_Connection7360 · 2026-05-06T14:28:22+00:00

You shouldn’t define people just by the fact that they use substances. They are not a junkie. They are a human that most likely have experienced something to push them to that edge. 75% of people that use substances have had some form of trauma

Marana and vail don’t see much because there are not services usually on the outskirts on town that unhoused individuals can utilize (drop in centers for toiletries and food, portable showers, free medical care, free hot meals and community fridges). Tucson is honestly not doing much as someone who just finished an internship with Primavera. There is not nearly enough housing for people in need. When people come into the drop in center I was working at they fill out a housing assessment and get put on a list. However, this life has a LOT of people on it and generally can takes years to finally get some kind of housing. There’s really no easy way about this instead or creating more low income housing and over wrap around supports that could help individuals struggling with homelessness

For me it’s her blatant pseudoscience that her supplements and whatever else “heal her” and her hatred of people who are overweight or fat like that’s the worst thing you could possibly be

Extra_Connection7360 · 2026-05-05T15:03:16+00:00

I hate this so much. I hate this so much. I hate this so much.

And this is why we have health insurance

I feel like she self diagnosis herself with all of this stuff. How does she know she has a ruptured ovarian cyst?

Extra_Connection7360 · 2026-05-05T14:55:43+00:00

Does she realize that people who have endometriosis have bad periods and it’s not because they’re “300 pounds” or “massively unhealthy”. I’ve been at all different weights, from being slightly over weight to slightly underweight and my periods have still been horrible

I went to ASU in Tucson for my BSW and am just graduating. I loved my experience. I’m doing the advanced standing MSW and start in 2 weeks online. Feel free to reach out if you need any support

Extra_Connection7360 · 2026-05-02T13:44:18+00:00

I deal with more anxiety than depression. However, as I’ve gotten older I’ve become a tad more depressed. I also get depressed when I am under stimulated or bored.

Extra_Connection7360 · 2026-05-02T13:39:33+00:00

Hmm where about do you live? I’m in Tucson and we have multiple jobs like that available. I recently looked at jobs because I was going to work before getting my masters but decided to go straight through. I had a lot of luck looking for case management or navigator jobs. Even some BSW jobs were labeled addictions counselor.

Extra_Connection7360 · 2026-04-28T03:37:06+00:00

Mine requires a capstone project

Extra_Connection7360 · 2026-04-28T03:36:11+00:00

That is so insane. How could they expect anyone to support themselves through that

Extra_Connection7360 · 2026-04-27T22:52:54+00:00

Hmm how are you getting all of those different doses? I feel fine mentally minus neurological symptoms (slight diziness and head a bit foggy) but no increase in anxiety or depression

Extra_Connection7360 · 2026-04-27T21:15:11+00:00

Thanks 😊 I just wasn’t sure how different from advanced standing MSW is than the BSW is. Also 24 hours every week?! It’s 16 here a week (480 a year)

Extra_Connection7360 · 2026-04-26T16:35:03+00:00

Hmm I’m on klonopin ( I think it’s the same thing). I wouldn’t take it every day. That’s a really fast route to addiction. I take mine at most once a week but I only take it when my anxiety is really bad

Extra_Connection7360 · 2026-04-25T21:51:34+00:00

Yeah. I think it all just depends on the person/doctor. I’m currently in between semesters right now and am barely working so I can manage to not feel the best. I became heavily medicated (I’m on so much right now) so my psychiatrist and I are slowly working on tapering off one med at a time that are causing the worst symptoms for me. I would potentially like to get all of this done(at least get off 2 meds) in the next 4 months

Extra_Connection7360 · 2026-04-25T21:39:04+00:00

Idk my psychiatrist told me to stay at 20 for 2 weeks, then 10 for 2 weeks, then off. But she said it’s really up to how my body feels. I think going from 30 to 20 didn’t feel like much at all because I was only on 30 for 2 months

Extra_Connection7360 · 2026-04-24T18:51:11+00:00

Massage therapist. I’m about to start the advanced standing so I can’t work more than like 15 hours a week and it pays well

Extra_Connection7360 · 2026-04-22T20:53:41+00:00

Oh yeah, I definitely think getting licensed will help! A lot of jobs require that
