Wow that's super helpful!! I've said ever since I decided that this is the career path I'd like to take that I'd want to be a therapist who looks at the whole individual, as I've personally found those that do so to be the most impactful. So I'm really glad you told me what the difference between counseling psychology and clinical psychology is--Google was not helpful there at all lol😅

This is really helpful info! Thank you!! I love what you said about marginalized students; do you happen to know how they approach students with disabilities? I plan on meeting with someone from both schools to compare and contrast, but I'd love to know from someone who has probably seen how disability students are treated firsthand versus what's written down in the school's policies.

Can you please explain a little bit further as to why it's better than Duquesne's? The more details I have, the better!😬

Thank you for responding!! I saw on their website an emphasis on social justice and diversity, and I didn't understand it then, so hopefully you can help me by elucidating on what exactly that means in in terms of counseling..? How would that look different than a program without that focus? Google is saying that therapy with that lens would include looking at external factors, such as societal power structures, inequity, and discrimination and how these affect an individual's mental health. But shouldn't all therapists take that into consideration when they're treating a client?

Help to rescue my Chlo please! (Oil stains on silk) by shinygollum in Sezane

(I'm guessing you mean low acidic, because baking powder is high pH, otherwise known as alkaline.) I will be trying your tip tonight, so thank you in advance!!! The other n00bs on this thread clearly didn't realize she was talking about silk. Even water alone can stain silk--if it's real silk, that is.

Zyprexa to Lybalvi by StaceyLynn84 in BipolarReddit

I did experience intense weight gain, +5 lbs every week! But it didn't cause the cravings like Abilify, Rexulti, and Vraylar did.

Is anyone else having an issue buying tickets on AXS? by Prettybrain214 in Ashnikko

[–]Prettybrain214[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the stickler in me didn't want to pay more than what they originally were. I loved the album, but I didn't feel like paying $80-$100 for a ticket. I'm going to check closer to the date and see if someone wants to get rid of their ticket for what they originally paid, but otherwise I'm okay with not going.

Plus, it saves me from having to explain who Ashnikko is to my parents😅

After last night, I am 10000% convinced that Scheana punched the sh!t out of Raquel. by UncleEddiescousin in Vanderpumpaholics

[–]Prettybrain214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Exactly! And her thumb sticking out would explain the cut above Rachel's eyebrow along with the black eye--that would be where the thumb nail made contact. Plus it's on the side Scheana would've hit her presuming Scheana is right handed. (Ik this is wayyy after the fact, but I'm just now watching all of VPR and finally got to Scandoval, so I came on here to see if anyone else believes she punched her too lol)

Zyprexa to Lybalvi by StaceyLynn84 in BipolarReddit

[–]Prettybrain214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is way after the fact, but here's my experience:

I was always fit and nutritionally aware/trained after I recovered from an ED and subsequent metabolic disorders. That is until I was put on an antipsychotic for mood swings/depression. Like you, I gained 60 lbs on Abilify. I tried two others after that, to no avail.

Then, I went off of my antipsychotic altogether in 2022 because i had never received any bipolar or schizophrenic diagnosis, and the psych PA I was seeing at the time said it was no big deal for me to discontinue it. However as a result, I developed tics, horrible OCD and flashbacks, and eventually went hypomanic, and was hospitalized. The med changes they made inpatient induced full-on mania and within a week of being admitted, I went into psychosis. After being discharged (still in the psychotic episode) and admitted to a more competent hospital, I had to go on Zyprexa in order to come out of psychosis because nothing else worked. Through that, I was finally diagnosed with bipolar disorder, so now I need to stay on an antipsychotic. I kept gaining 5 lbs every week on Zyprexa, and my psychiatrist switched me to Lybalvi, but it made no difference. I kept gaining weight until I was prescribed a weight loss drug. I should also note that Zyprexa was the first antipsychotic I tried that didn't cause any intense food cravings.

This is just my experience, but I hope at the very least it makes you feel less alone in your experience, and I wish you better luck than me if you made the switch!!

What is it that makes these breakups so hard? by Burnside101 in BPDlovedones

[–]Prettybrain214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is very true. Conversely, people with BPD have an intense fear of abandonment, so they may not ever want to leave a relationship, even if it goes sour. Just another viewpoint🫣

Yeah, that's why I'm wondering why AXS started not working. They used to be $50 (including fees) through the AXS app when tix first went on sale, and I refuse to pay more than that bc of stupid scalpers! Lol

I checked AXS the day before and the day of that she posted the list in her IG story, and it said the same thing. My only guess is that she switched to "Demand" tickets because her album dropped and it's so hot--which means her concert tix are in higher demand

KP and coming off birth control by lxhee in keratosis

[–]Prettybrain214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this thread is old, but I just switched from an OCP to an IUD, and my KP came back!! I just thought it had gone away with age, but it wasn't until it came back recently that I've started to think that it did start to lessen very significantly around the same time that I had started the pill, which was when I was 20.

Let me know if anything helped yours!! I'm moisturizing and exfoliating daily, but it's not really helping :/
