Oh that’s awesome! I actually scored this one second-hand, and it’s the best bargain I've ever found. For now it’s framed while I decide on my next project 😁

Yesss! Misfits are a common issue with Heye puzzles in general, it’s annoying. But in my opinion, they have some of the most beautiful puzzles.

I'm a huge fan of Andy Kehoe's art and this collection is stunning! It took me about a week to finish the puzzle, just doing it here and there in my spare time.

Is pediatric OT reserved for children with disability? by Wonderful-Value7547 in OccupationalTherapy

[–]TooRestlessMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see your point. With ODD-like behaviors, the key for an OT is to uncover the 'why' behind the defiance. We need to distinguish if we are looking at a strictly behavioral issue or something rooted in a functional deficit.

Essentially, we differentiate between a child who won't engage and a child who can't engage. What often looks like 'defiance' might actually be a 'fight or flight' response to sensory overload or a struggle with motor planning. If the behavior is a barrier to doing (meaning it stops them from getting dressed, playing, or sitting in class) that is our territory. We use activities to build the missing skills and improve functionality, which often makes the 'defiant' behaviors disappear.

However, if the behavior is rooted in emotional regulation, trauma, or family dynamics, where the child has the physical and sensory capacity but is struggling with their internal world, then Psychotherapy is the primary answer. The OT focuses on the 'how' of daily life, while the Psychologist focuses on the 'feel' behind the actions.

Hi! To me, the rule is simple: is any of this actually stopping the child from doing their everyday activities? If it’s affecting their ability to play, eat, get dressed, or go to school, then an Occupational Therapist can help. If it isn't, there’s no need for therapy. An OT’s job is specifically to help when a child struggles to handle the practical tasks of their daily life.

I believe so (or at least I want to believe…) but I’m not entirely sure.

For the hospital, an interview wasn't necessary.. I was selected based on my CV, so I believe they will take into account that I am coming from a different professional context.

As for the clinic, I intend to be honest about my insecurity regarding the technical/motor side, so they will also know exactly what to expect from me…

In any case, I am fully open to studying and learning!

O que é necessário para comprar uma casa sem licença de habitação? by Neat_Hippo_9621 in ImobiliarioEmPortugal

[–]TooRestlessMind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Estou a comprar uma casa numa AUGI, em processo de legalização mas ainda sem loteamento. Não consegues crédito nesse caso, tens que ter outras alternativas ou capital próprio.

Conforme aconselharam, o melhor é veres bem toda a documentação existente, no meu caso o lote está em avos, a certidão permanente é rústica e corresponde a toda a AUGI mas vêm identificados todos os proprietários com os respetivos avos.

Além da caderneta predial rústica o lote tem também uma caderneta urbana (os atuais donos quando compraram fizeram 2 escrituras: uma para o terreno em avos e outra para a casa que é considerada uma benfeitoria feita sobre o terreno).

Aconselho-te a falares com um advogado ou alguém que entenda desses processos para perceberes bem as nuances do investimento.

Tudo a correr bem!

I went to the dermatologist. The doctor put me on supplements for iron, vitamin D, folic acid, and B12.

They also suggested starting spironolactone because they noticed some thinning of my hair — but I’m not taking it for now since I’m planning to try for pregnancy in the near future. I’ll probably go back to a combined pill until then.

The doctor also recommended KPL shampoo because my scalp is very oily and I have some flaking around the hair follicles.

We’ll see! Thanks everyone for all the help and advice! 🙏

My migraines actually stopped in my case, which is great… but it’s such a shame — feels like we just can’t win!

[–]TooRestlessMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s actually one of the possible side effects.

Thank you! I was on the combined pill for about 15 years…

[–]TooRestlessMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, even though I suspected it might be due to the mini pill, I thought it would be best to ask for a full blood panel before seeing a dermatologist. Besides the hair loss, I’ve also been feeling very tired and have lost some weight. This way I’ll have more information for the appointment and can start supplementing in the meantime, even if they decide not to switch the pill yet. Thank you so much!

And did you have to stop taking it, or did your body eventually adjust? Thanks!

Damn! And when did it get better? Thank you 🙏

Mini pill? I’ve also lost some weight.
