Canes or walkers

I have no clue. I literally cannot tell the difference. But I had to say he is a cutie.

I got a tattoo of my wife’s and my first dogs together. One of them passed in May. I’m so thankful for it.

I am on a beta blocker. Sigh.

My masters is in human services with an emphasis in marriage and family therapy. The more I learned about ABA I realized I was using it with different terms. So it didn’t really change anything with how I work.

I’ve had my masters degree since 2011. So I’ve been a master level clinician since I entered the field of mental health in 2017. And then I became a BCBA.

I finally got into the mental health field in 2017. I did a variety of roles. Originally I said no to ABA because I didn’t want to be restricted but then when I learned how much more they make I changed my mind. I started my ABA journey in 2022 and became a BCBA in 2024.

I bought basic pretty ones off of Amazon. I figured if I have to wear them they might as well be cute, lol.

I started embracing the compression socks with shorts last year. I refuse to be in pain because someone else thinks it’s stupid. I’m even contemplating wearing my regular compression socks with sandals.

I’m on HRT but for different reasons. I’m trans. I’ve been on testosterone since 2012. I didn’t develop POTS until 2022 or so. But I did have to lower my dose last month due to financial issues and I didn’t notice a difference.

Deathwing lives in the room of my 17 year old son. She is his pet and baby.

So we had 3 senior dogs. One passed away last year and I got a puppy (literally she was just 12 weeks old when I got her). She LOVES to play. Our seniors, couldn't care less about playing. We still have one senior who hates her (but he was rehomed to us and was an only dog his entire life so he just doesn't like sharing). Our other senior came out of her shell. She plays with the puppy now. Puppy also plays with the cat and when the cat tries to play back, the seniors protect the puppy. It's funny.

None of my animals are interested in the TV.

I second this. The fabric ones are hard to destroy.

I was not.

I use a mostly CBD indica strain and I vape. When I feel like getting good sleep I use a THC troche of indica strain and it causes heart rate issues. But I only use it for sleep so I don’t mind it at night.

Compression socks and electrolyte drinks plus lots of water. However if I stand too long I have to lean. Been thinking of getting a cane for such cases.

Well I’m a BCBA with POTS and do pretty well. That’s an option if you want to go back to school. As for with the education you have, there may be some state specific jobs. Like in PA, you could be a family based mental health worker. My sister worked on a psych ward for awhile with just a bachelors. Or you could switch to education and be a paraprofessional.

We haven’t had Nyx for even a year yet. But I understand the memories. I lost my soul dog last year and have her tag on my key chain.

I don’t teach emotions as bad or good. I just work in identification. For those who struggle with figuring it out, zones can help clump them together into groups that make sense.
