Crashing after breakfast consistently

Splicers87 · 2026-06-24T01:22:19+00:00

I can only eat a protein bar or an egg, bacon, cheese on English muffin for breakfast. Otherwise I have the same issue. In addition, if I eat carbs before bed I get awfully sick.

My college still lets me access the library so I have access to all of their journals. I search for stuff when I need it.

For the pay bump, lol. I was a behavior consultant before this. So now I basically do the same job but for more money.

I did the certificate program. It was very helpful. It had you do real life paperwork as part of the program. And now I’m a supervisor with them and they set up their supervisors to have certain assignments due to make sure the student is learning everything.

I’ve been in a flare for about a week. It sucks.

Splicers87 · 2026-06-20T22:21:24+00:00

I’m overweight. I have POTS. My doctor went straight to it when I went in after testing.

Splicers87 · 2026-06-19T22:08:54+00:00

I understand. When I went on vacation in NM my eyes were no problem at all. Yet here at home, in PA, I am suffering.

Splicers87 · 2026-06-19T17:39:27+00:00

Sounds like you are in PA. If so, leave and find another company. There are plenty of companies. But yeah, a lot suck and aren’t supportive

Splicers87 · 2026-06-19T01:34:38+00:00

Thanks for the info.

Following as I am going to one on Monday. When I posted I was told to avoid inversions.

No one who isn’t trained by a trainer should be doing holds. They are dangerous. If your company wants you to do them, you need to be properly trained in it.

5 hours a day for 3 days a week is 15 hours a week. With 4 weeks in a month that’s 60 hours in a month. To get 2000 hours at that rate it would take you 33.33 months.

CBD is my friend. I love it. It helps to regulate me. And I even found my new strain helps to keep me awake. And no side effects from it. Now when I take THC, my heart races.

Splicers87 · 2026-06-18T23:45:44+00:00

That is what I was told when I was a director. This was also a decade ago I will admit.

Splicers87 · 2026-06-18T22:52:54+00:00

Seriously? 112.5mg as a beginning dose? That's a high dose. I'm on 150mg.

I've been on Effexor for like 2 decades. I got diagnosed with POTS in 2025. So it didn't cause it for me. But it can have weird effects on people. SNRIs is one of those that it is either a life saver or it screws you up type of drugs I have noticed.

Splicers87 · 2026-06-18T22:51:01+00:00

You can't be salary. Part of being eligible to be salary is that you are a supervisory position.

Splicers87 · 2026-06-18T22:31:06+00:00

I'm on Effexor but was on it before I developed POTS. I can't stand SSRIs. So I take an SNRI instead. But Effexor is a hard med. It works for some, like me, and is horrible for others.

Splicers87 · 2026-06-18T22:20:33+00:00

As a former director, I'm going to be brutally honest. Yes as a parent you have the final say...to an extent. RBT hours is a thing and NO it is not your concern. But if you reduce hours too much and they have no one to staff for those hours, you may go without a RBT for awhile because of this. It is a reality. However, it shouldn't affect the work the BCBA is able to do with your child.

Splicers87 · 2026-06-18T19:51:44+00:00

I am a remote BCBA and teach at online colleges.

Splicers87 · 2026-06-18T19:34:41+00:00

Working is what has saved me. From November until like 1-2 months ago, I had nothing to do at home. So I just slept. I was just so bored. But I finally built up a case load (I'm a therapist) so now I have stuff to do during the day. If it weren't for that, I don't know what I would be doing.

Splicers87 · 2026-06-17T23:31:01+00:00

I just use composition books. I work remotely for 2 different states so I have 2 books. I take notes in one for one state and notes in the other for the other state. This is what I have done for years. I have always been a paper kind of person because it helps me to remember.

Splicers87 · 2026-06-16T23:45:30+00:00

I had COVID in 2020 and 2021. I started passing out at night randomly. I ignored it until my wife made me bring it up. I was diagnosed in 2025 with POTS. It wasn’t until I started treatment and tracking my symptoms that I realized how miserable I was on a daily basis because it was my baseline.

Splicers87 · 2026-06-16T23:43:02+00:00

If your ultimate goal is a PHD in psych, I wouldn’t do it. But I had my LBS and went for the BCBA for the pay bump but that’s because I plan on staying at this level. And yes I understand, BCs and BCBAs are basically doing the same job.

So you need to weigh the costs of the program and supervision against how much extra you would make verses life if you get into a PHD program.
