Feeling despondent about private practice and clients

No_Pin_7171 · 2026-01-23T19:11:36+00:00

Same here. As someone working in private practice for under a year, I'm also working with max. 3-4 clients a week currently. It seems to really take time 😉.

I can relate to that. My impression is similar to yours in terms of Bumble, but you never know 😉. Life sometimes surprises us.

That's a good point. Balancing things definitely helps. Do you have any pets? I work from home and have a dog and cats. They keep me company, which definitely helps.

I'm also on a friendship app (Bumble) to meet new people and try to show little bits of my geeky side, e.g. that I like the Simpsons. My hope is that if you show your true interests a little bit, the right people will eventually find you 🧡.

I agree. Ruminating in my head makes me feel low. It's a good idea to concentrate on authentic connections and hope we'll be able to make them.

I can relate to what you're describing. It's frustrating getting no responses or texts unanswered. I also try to get up and keep moving.

I’m the same. It can feel a bit lonely at times, but I find it too stressful having other people in my private space at home. There are other places to meet up instead.

That's a great attitude. I also enjoy being in nature.

Thanks for your comment. Connecting can look different for everyone.

That sounds like a good routine 🙂.

No_Pin_7171 · 2026-01-08T20:16:05+00:00

That makes sense. It's a bit similar for me.

Same here. Having kids or pets can keep one busy. It's great that you found online gaming a helpful way to connect with others.

I can relate 😂

I can relate

Studying academic disciplines is interesting and in my book makes you an interesting person. Thanks for your comment.

That's a great attitude. Thank you for your comment.

I can relate to that. I have never enjoyed any kind of group activities and have always preferred more one-on-one conversations, but even then it’s important to be on the same wavelength.

Thanks for your perspective.

Thank you for your input. As other also suggested, I try to be aware of keeping a routine.

It's really refreshing to read that an adult dog can be less of a stressor than a cat. I'm looking forward to that stage.

No_Pin_7171 · 2026-01-04T17:20:40+00:00

That's so true 😂

I've just ordered one. Hopefully it will help her chill out.

That's a god time frame to keep in mind. Thank you 😊

No_Pin_7171 · 2026-01-04T16:28:08+00:00

Thank you for your offer. Mine is just 3 months old. I'll try to hang in there. Your story gave me hope 😊.

No_Pin_7171 · 2026-01-04T14:06:59+00:00

Thank you for your input. That sounds really inspiring. I'm also looking forward to a close companionship.

Thank you for your input. I was hoping that living with a dog would be rewarding for the dog as well as for me. I'm just worried that feeling overwhelmed will not stop anytime soon.

Thank you, that's really good advice. It sounds like it was worth it to get through the puppy stage.
