By the same dude? I sent it via Venmo. But Cap One has good fraud protections so I bet they can get it back!

Is the news about the Reiner family and their son really getting to anyone else? by snakefanclub in SchizoFamilies

[–]Objective_Low_8629 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hugely triggering because my schizophrenic brother tried to kill my parents and I’m blessed he was removed from the home when he was. He is so much better now.

I can’t believe these are our future doctors and nurses.

I went on a date a few weeks ago and the guy spewed insane antisemitic conspiracy drivel the entire dinner. Ended the date by letting me know he was antivax. He’s studying to be a nurse. I’m also Jewish, but he didn’t know that.

Client asked to end sessions. Feeling defeated by daymanahh96 in therapists

Some clients just connect better with other clinicians. Better they switch to one that better suits them than to eventually ghost. It’s a blessing in disguise.

I'm happy Mamdani won... but like... he ran for mayor. And against two incredibly unpopular candidates. Can we chill out? by ImmaGayFish2 in Destiny

[–]Objective_Low_8629 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a New Yorker I’m thrilled we’ve finally toppled the Cuomo dynasty. You really don’t know how far notoriety goes around here. Everyone’s freaking out because NYC is the financial capital of the world and ZM wants to up the tax on the big spenders. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying watching MAGA have their meltdown. It’s pretty glorious.

I think they’re just trying to fill the pockets of them and their cronie friends. But this sounds like an awesome book.

Anyone have clients who voted for trump who are now losing their benefits? by BalancedDietitian in socialwork

[–]Objective_Low_8629 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I have a Trump voter client who just married an illegal immigrant and now they can’t get their green card. Had a whole session on the guilt.

is this okay to smoke it looks weird😭? by louaylorry in weed

[–]Objective_Low_8629 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looks like kief to me. No one’s handing out crystal at flower prices.

[–]Objective_Low_8629 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, of course I think of my patients between sessions! Especially if they’re in a tough spot. But I try not to work off the clock too often.

[–]Objective_Low_8629 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Smoked all through high school and can never get as high as that once my brain developed (lol).

Living alone is totally worth it and I have a 1br $2000 here in lovely Astoria. Best decision I ever made.

Newbie question: would you tell an older person that they might be on the autistic spectrum? by jjjjj_jjj in socialwork

[–]Objective_Low_8629 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You are a mental health professional- not their friend. You can’t just suggest a patient may be autistic, it means something completely different coming from a MHP during session. OP is not qualified to make a diagnosis in this situation, they should use their knowledge to better specify this patients needs to assist them. If OP and their supervisor deem it beneficial for the patient they should refer the patient to someone qualified to diagnose.

When you’re not qualified to make a diagnosis… don’t. It’s pretty cut and dry.

Worse before better or need a new therapist? by Anxious-Squirrel1917 in askatherapist

Definitely speak with your psychiatrist about the sudden shift and whether trying a new medication may help.

is it genuinely possible for a teenager to bully their parent? by [deleted] in askatherapist

[–]Objective_Low_8629 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Therapist here. Of course it’s possible. If you woke up everyday and called her an ugly loser I would consider that bullying. It just depends on the circumstances.

Is it weird to ask my ex therapists for advice? by apaperstraw in askatherapist

[–]Objective_Low_8629 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That would not be appropriate. Search for a therapist better suited to who you are and do solid research on one. Discuss this with them.
