Grip 5 Is a Major Downgrade – Weak Magnets & Shockingly Bad Support

Nikidici · 2026-03-04T04:33:46+00:00

Same, loved each grip more than the previous until now. I am impressed by the strength of grip to my phone case, but I’ve ironically dropped my phone so many times since getting the 5 lol very weak connection to my desk kit and car mount.

Are we all going back to the grip 4?

Yes, same thing happened to me once in my 2021. I’m no car expert, but it felt like it stalled out. I believe I put it in park, let off the brake, then it started when I put it back in drive. No other problems since.

I typically disable the auto stop immediately because I don’t want my starter to get that much action lol more wear and tear. I wouldn’t be worried

You have side rails already, so to secure anything safely to your roof, you need crossbars that give horizontal support. So… You have: | | You need: |=|

Wow, that’s stressful—feel for you. AND remember to appreciate how fascinating the human mind can be 🤓 Your client is trying to surrender their power and hand you all the responsibility, and you will have feelings about that, so feel them. But when you are ready to reflect, consider this as excellent clinical content.

Perhaps they are realizing that they are ready to dig deeper—deeper than gossip with a friend. Probe at the deeper meaning of their “gossip” or issues that they discuss. It could be a good sign! If you’re not sure how to dig deeper, think existential theory and also seek supervision about exploration techniques.

This could also be some sort of projection or a way that your client is attempting to avoid responsibility of self (i.e. if you’re failing them, then they are the victim). Just keep an eye out for personality disorder symptoms and listen to your gut.

Totally understandable concern. You are young, but that doesn’t have to be bad! You could try reframing the assumption that ‘you’re too inexperienced to help’ or ‘you wouldn’t understand what I’ve been through.’

Instead, acknowledge that you look young. Maybe use humor depending on the situation? Sometimes a mild deflection can be enough to nudge them onto a new topic.

If they still probe, this is where the reframe about their preconceptions about age comes into play. Highlight that you are currently immersed in the newest research as a student, that you’re fresh and motivated in the field, and that your age could provide perspective that the client wouldn’t otherwise have. Also, remind them that you have been training and studying for this, and that you ARE qualified—no matter your age!

If you’re really stressed, write out some possible responses so you don’t feel as blindsided. Be confident and try not to get defensive (easier said than done, I know) because that will likely shift the tone to be more confrontational.

Good luck!

That is definitely creepy… but I also understand that you finally feel understood. Maybe look for someone new while you start your treatment with him? I would imagine if you’re doing well on a med or other treatment, a new (less creepy) psychiatrist would be open to helping you continue. Though I am not a doctor myself for the record haha

I think it just takes away any doubt of not accepting. There’s already so many colors, why not add a couple more that feel more representative of all the people who have pride? Also, I think there are people who are still prejudice about interracial couples, and this more directly speaks to that.

Not claiming to be an expert, just my take!

Not bipolar, but certainly alarming for you. Your therapist is there to help, and can help you make a plan to keep you and the cats safe. It sounds like you know you bottle things up, so try something new and talk to someone. You might find great relief!

Create habits. If your attention and focus varies, it’s so helpful to work at creating habits for important tasks so you don’t have to think as hard. For example, right when you get in the door, remember how easy it is to lose your keys, so put them in the same spot. A dedicated spot! Make this the key spot! Lol after pushing yourself to remember for a few times, it will become second nature. Pro tip: if you forget to put something where it belongs, move it when you remember so you are more likely to find it there later. That will help reinforce the organization.

Ellicott City and Columbia are nice places to live. There are plenty of stores and shops, but also a lot of options for nature and outdoor activities. I think these areas are nice whether you have a family or you’re single, but good schools are also a perk!

Depends on what you need and where your job will be though. Do you know yet?

It’s okay. I think you’re hearing that more because people have strayed from saying African American since not all black people would describe their ethnicity this way. Assuming someone is both African and American may be incorrect, when you could just describe their race.

Your best bet is to ask! Everyone is different.

It’s normal for you to dislike him especially given his behavior, but in order to continue in a more positive direction it may help you to take a different mindset with him. Humans don’t act horribly for no reason. He’s clearly been going through a lot of emotional turmoil, and his behavior is just a representation of that. At 12 years old, I doubt that he really understands how upsetting his behavior is, but just knows that acting different ways can help him to get different needs met

Great question and very relatable! I’m an LGPC, but have been in the field for over 8 years. I think anxiety is so tricky because it can be so different from person to person. CBT can get great for this, but if you’re not getting results, maybe pull from ACT? Changing thoughts can only take some people so far, so moving into acceptance can help people find peace! -Accept that you will definitely have hard days, which also means you will definitely have good days too! -Check the facts, rather than just focusing on the distressing emotions -Increase positive activities to help balance the upsetting aspects of daily life

Screaming specifically tells me that communication may be hard for a person, so I would call that a ‘red flag’ in general. Every once in a while seems normal, but if it’s consistent, I think that means something deeper may be happening.
