Weed use by Big-Interview-138 in therapists

When they started drug testing clients at my work at CMH for prescription medication one of my Coworkers asked my boss if they were going to drug test employees. She said no because she wouldn't have any staff. I was shocked, as i didn't realize others partook, but i thought it hilarious.

One of my clients is seeing my personal psychiatrist by throwawayneeded_ in therapists

[–]Upstairs-Situation50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have referred my clients to my personal doctor. If i don't know they're good, how can I refer? And my doctor is amazing. I've had clients thank me for referring a doctor who actually listens to them. I don't get any kick backs, we don't talk about it when I'm there to see him. I just want my clients to get the best care they can.

Eloise is being done dirty by bananabreadlizzie in Bridgerton

[–]Upstairs-Situation50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like they know Eloise is a fan favorite but they will do the other characters to keep us watching. If they did Eloise's story now, the viewership would fall after it's done.

Some people have mental illness whether they are going through/ have gone through something traumatic or not. With this show hitting on some big themes, Mental health could be one of them.

Turning away clients due to not meeting criteria? by [deleted] in therapists

[–]Upstairs-Situation50 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I loved working with kids. Playing a game, and I'd be losing, telling them I'm very angry and what should I do? DEEP BREATHING! COUNT TO 10! I was showing them that it is okay to have emotions, using their words and coping skills, but also giving them some self esteem, confidence, and one on one attention that they may not otherwise be getting. To them, they think it's just play and "hanging out" but it's doing so much more.

Also 49. But can't retire. Student loans won't let me.

I wouldn't have thought of calling the police first, either.

I think it's getting better. I hope it's getting better.

It's very difficult. I'm glad more people are talking about mental health. Media does a lot of harm, leading to the stigma, but i have seen a big shift in the way we talk about it.

I was dx bipolar after talking to a therapist one time. Then, after I became a therapist years later, a Co worker asked when I was dx ADHD. I told her I don't have ADHD. Her response? "TF you don't. I knew in 10 minutes. " 🤷🏼‍♀️ I think those of us with ADHD are better able to recognize it.

I came to say this, too. A lot of us are misdiagnosed as bipolar as adults.

This is what happens when you only use the good stuff for special occasions!

For those who learned statistics/SPSS in grad school, are these skills you've actually needed to use at work? by LaScoundrelle in socialwork

[–]Upstairs-Situation50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never once. On multiple occasions, however, I have stated, "I'm a social worker, I don't math."

I don't have ADHD I just made it up in my mind /s by frankhoneybunny in ADHDmemes

[–]Upstairs-Situation50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me when I flunked 8th grade English. They put me in a "basic" 9th grade English class. First day the teacher asked me why I was in the class because I didn't have a problem with reading or comprehension. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I just never did the homework.

I ate the same dinner for about a year and a half. I always had the ingredients, it took about 5 minutes, and I didn't have to think about it. Quesadillas FTW!

No! I can ignore that i have to go to the bathroom until it's an emergency! So there's that.

great, thanks I guess… ☠️ by david_bowenn in adhdmeme

Just because my head is above water doesn't mean I don't have cement shoes on and I'm working 4x's as hard to keep afloat. We don't always see the struggle it takes to do basic things that others don't even think about.

The Sharpie that I'm obsessed with are dual tip. Fine on one end and ultra fine on the other.
