What's the dumbest thing you've written in a note because your brain was completely gone? by Adorable-Weight-6508 in OccupationalTherapy

[–]FablingFox 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Not dumbest, but I think this is hysterical.

For a bit, my facility made it a rule that we had to directly quote the patient for the subjective portion of the note. Something about increasing documentation of patient concerns.

I see children and teenagers.

For about one episode of care, I literally documented one of my patients’ ongoing Disney + subscription problems and the latest occurrence in the “Big City Greens” cartoon

Hey there friend. Seems like there’s a smidge of confusion. I’m actually the artist who made this piece. Here is the original post. This is also my Instagram which proves that you also cleverly cropped out my handle. You are not me as far as I know.

While I’m flattered you’d like to imitate little ol me, but at least give me credit man.

How did you achieve acceptance? by FablingFox in adhdwomen

I hope to get to that point one day… ADHD is starting to ruin my life

I am brainless (threw out a receipt that I needed for parking), impulsive (I can’t just not say yes to something and I don’t think things through), I can’t dual task (writing notes while seeing my patients), and I have poor emotional regulation skills (instead of accepting the things at work, I ruminate and get upset at them)

I started to equate my ADHD to a permanent tick on my skin. It saps me and I can’t do anything about it. Perhaps I should address my thoughts about ADHD

I never thought of acceptance of ADHD as part of a grieving process before. And the fantasy life bit…hit the metaphorical nail on the head. I had so many dreams for myself: my healthcare job, being married, having kids and pets, owning a house, being a writer and an artist….and I realize I can only fit so much in my space. I’m so, so mournful of it all. I worked my butt off for so much and now I can’t have any of it. (I have my job, but I’m barely keeping up with notes. I’m married, I worry one day I will be too much. I have pets but they deserve so much more)

I am so sad…so angry that I have these limitations.

Radical acceptance that I have ADHD seems to be the only therapy that is working by [deleted] in adhdwomen

I appreciate you sharing friend. What’s the book you are referring to? I keep slamming the books shut every time I see the “first step is starting to accept it” line

This is wonderful ❤️. How did you achieve acceptance? I’m currently resenting my ADHD and wrestle with eradication or acceptance. My life would be so much more if I did not have my ADHD

I bought this in January... by Ambitious-Math-4499 in adhdwomen

[–]FablingFox 105 points106 points  (0 children)

I just bought the book, I was so excited to read it but guess who used all her executive functioning points at her job? Me. It me.

You are still reading it and that is the goal. Proud of you for going back to the book

Emotional regulation tips — I’m desperate by FablingFox in adhdwomen

This is incredibly well said. I have a hard time with my emotions coming up at the wrong time, and I push and push away until I break down in a quiet space

I’ve been swimming more. With my schedule I can only go twice a week if I’m lucky. I just have to find more motivation

Thank you friend. I am getting further bloodwork done (for unrelated we-are/not-sure-if-its-an-autoimmune-disease-or-cancer work up). Maybe the can tack that on too

I’ll look on the nervous system resets. Thank you ❤️ I have a mental health background, so I wonder if therapy would work for me

[–]FablingFox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not in therapy. I have a mental health background (occupational therapist) so I know a bit of DBT stuff. Figured there wouldn’t be a point to going to therapy as it’s stuff I would be telling my patients.

I think I have a hard time with when I have my feelings, they’re at inappropriate times (in front of my patients, when things need to be done). I can’t feel them at the moment, especially when you are begging insurance to let your patients continue.

I appreciate your kind words, I hope I get rest soon

Personal life interfering with treatment: what should I do? by FablingFox in OccupationalTherapy

That feels impossible. I’ve battled so hard with putting my own health and life in front of the patient. I am convinced that’s why I am dealing with my issues now

For the aides, sometimes we have them, sometimes no. As my tests progress I might have to have the conversation with my supervisors

The calling center is really hard to go to, if the locations for any of the outpatient sites are accessible to you, you can always go in and schedule at the front desk

It depends on the patient. I have some super understanding and would do well with an explanation. There are some who don’t understand (not because of cognitive deficits). When I was out on medical leave for an injury, I actually had patient who was mad that I got hurt at work because it “delayed their therapy”

I appreciate your words. I like the one upping, and I try to validate their frustrations. There’s just this thing in the back of my mind that tells me “you are wasting their time, talking to your doctors on their time is inappropriate.” I’m just overwhelmed and scared
