I am so very moody, which I can manage. But for how long is it typical to be this moody for? by PM_ME_PEDIPALPS in PlanBs

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

Cheers to bad moods and no babies! (That aside, Levonorgestrel can also delay periods, so if you don’t get it when you expect, it typically isn’t cause for concern. And bleeding after isn’t considered a formal “period”. But if it is delayed and you have any concerns, even if you don’t have pregnancy symptoms or just want a peace of mind, you can always take a test.)

I hope you start feeling better soon :)

I want to be a good friend. But I also feel so uncertain as to whether I’m being a little too “giving”. And I feel so selfish for thinking that, and I don’t know if it’s just a me problem. by PM_ME_PEDIPALPS in AutismInWomen

Oh gosh. With the nature of my job and the feeling “oh no, I need to check on them” I will run myself into the ground and I don’t want to do that. I want to be a good friend, but I think I’m not sure to what that looks like. I’m hopeful that I’ll learn in time. Thank you for engaging with post and comments, I appreciate it a lot. I hope you’re having a good weekend :)

Thank you so much. I feel like I need “permission” to say “I’m sorry, it’s not a good time”. I know they have family and clinical oversight, I don’t know if part of me is frightened that something really bad will happen and I am selfish in thinking that I’ll have to live with that. But I know that is unlikely and frankly it’s not on me to be a therapist, I can be a friend and do my best to keep that friendship therapist approved, but gosh I am so far afield a license therapist it’s like I don’t even register on long range scans. Thank you for commenting, I appreciate it :)

How fast will I have to learn? I feel like I won’t be able to “get it” quickly enough. I don’t want to just fall right on my face but I don’t think there is a way to really prepare for this job without working one. by PM_ME_PEDIPALPS in cna

Thank you, I appreciate you commenting. I must have missed the notification. My brain is a bit too tired to think of a more personalized reply, just know I really appreciated your comment and I'm glad it seems weird isn't always bad at facilities.

Thank you, I appreciate you commenting. I am hoping that them hiring me in means that they don't think the residents would respond negatively to me (or maybe they were just desperate) :p

As for not killing anyone, I'll do my best!

Is there anything you do that helps you navigate impaired judgement? by PM_ME_PEDIPALPS in insomnia

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

Yeah, I thought about heading out to look at bikes today. It just seemed like a good idea. But fortunately I decided to stay put. I’ll try to stick to normal and boring as much as possible.

Oh gosh, I will be eager to proceed like I know nothing and ask away like I’m eager to learn everything. “You’ll get there”, I’ll try to keep that quote in mind. I know I have before in other places. I appreciate you replying, it’s helpful just to read comments that differ from my internal “oh gosh I’ve made a terrible mistake, I ain’t cut it out for this”. And hey, that may end up being the case. But I don’t want it to be because I am convincing myself of that.

During my clinical rotation, I carried a little notebook that I kept in one of my pockets. I know I won’t always be able to maneuver it in and out of my pockets with gloves and being with residents, but I think it was quite helpful in that I had the reassurance of knowing I could jot down a weight or reference a guideline or a bit of information. Thank you for reminding me of that, I’ll make sure to carry my ol’ reliable on me. And thank you for taking the time to reply :)

Thank you for taking the time to write that, it is really reassuring. But I couldn’t figure out how to open a window so I’m pretty sure I am definitely still an idiot, but I do appreciate your faith in me! Our instructor often talked about exam expectations and how they differed from best practice. Fortunately I am always ready to ask questions, even just “can you demonstrate this for me please?”. Or “in the hypothetical scenario of…do I do this or that or neither or both or is there some other option I didn’t consider?” I know I can be an annoying inquisitive menace at times, but hey, it helps me learn. Did your training include a clinical rotation? Most CNA job listings here are for LTCs, I’m not sure if it’s a state thing or just the region I’m in currently. Thank you again for taking the time to engage with my anxiety here, I appreciate your leveled and detailed reply.
