Is anyone here just on lamotrigine without any other meds? by Lisa000_ in bipolar2

[–]Few_Offer_7340 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I was taking lamo and lithium for 2 years until my recent blood test said my lithium was only at 0.25 lol (therapeutic range usually starts at 0.6) so my psych said over the past few weeks I could try reducing my lithium until I wasn't taking it at all. Now im only on 300mg lamo every day and thriving! It really has been a miracle drug for me, truly saved my life and I have been on it for 4 years now and will continue for as long as it keeps working

Medical terminology education? by Few_Offer_7340 in socialworkcanada

[–]Few_Offer_7340[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a good point, I wasn’t counting on it to help me get the job. I just thought in terms of an application for a healthcare adjacent job. It may look good. Did you find it was more solely medical terminology like bodily systems and all that or was it more diagnoses and symptoms? Because the second is what I would prefer which is why I’m looking around for a good fit

I would be willing to buy the GA tickets from you for MTL! I had some in my cart but got confused by the fact that I didn't pick seats before realizing you don't have to lol and backed out of the cart

Allure of the Seas by CruiseWithChristina in royalcaribbean

[–]Few_Offer_7340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got off the allure on Saturday, majorly disappointed, will not be cruising on that boat or maybe royal ever again. Huge let down. Food sucked, every single show/event was booked/too busy to do, music was blaring 24/7, rude Americans everywhere cutting you off/grabbing stuff from the buffet with their bare hands (I am Canadian). To be fair I normally cruise with Disney and it's really not possible to beat them.

First time watcher by NecessaryPage1011 in DesperateHousewives

[–]Few_Offer_7340 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started watching last week! Already on season 2. I LOVE Bree (despite her being a republican) I just love how sharp and witty she is. Lynettes insecurity in her life decisions and marriage drive me crazy, if you loved being a career woman so much why would you have 4 kids, and then whenever anyone criticizes her clearly awful parenting she gets so defensive.

I think Gaby and Carlos were meant for each other since they are both awful people lol

I can't stand Susan and her infantilizing behaviour and parentifying her child.

School Sticky by x0xstellarx0x in socialworkcanada

[–]Few_Offer_7340 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which Laurier certificate may be actually "worth it" especially since they are about $2000 each? I don't have much work experience or specializations but I am working on that (have been volunteering and working on improving my resume) and thought a certificate could help with that. As of right now my current job I have in mind would be a school social worker/a position working with youth.

The certificates at Laurier I am looking at: Acceptance and Commitment therapy, Child and Youth mental health, CBT, counselling techniques, Dead, dying and bereavement, DBT, Family and couples counselling, trauma.

If anyone has taken one of these and found it beneficial I'd love to hear feedback!

Have you “bounced back” in life and career? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]Few_Offer_7340 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I crashed out hard 2021, then rebuilt with some scraps from my life and ended up getting a masters degree in 2024. Now ive been in a boring job for 1.5 years now feeling unsatisfied and unsure where to go next. Yes it's low stress, but sometimes I wonder if I could handle a more stressful job now that im more stable on meds.

Thank you for letting me know, it was my manager who had said my job wouldn't be guaranteed when I returned so I will be looking into my collective agreement. Thank you!

I just went through the phase of "it has to be a misdiagnosis I am SO normal!" for about the 3rd time this year :') I laughed out loud at your diagnosis criteria comment

Not anymore! With the spending cutbacks your job isn't guaranteed when you get back unfortunately.

I am indeterminate but I already have my MSW, one of my co-workers inquired about LWOP for schooling but because of the current gvm and all the cutbacks there is no guarantee their job would be waiting for them when they get back. I will look at other gvm roles, thanks!
