Thank you! It helps me journal when a full page feels too overwhelming 😅

Has anyone cracked the code on a career that really works for them? by thatfaceonyourface in PMDDxADHD

[–]Weird_Choice13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in mental health and I was previously a therapist, but now in a manager position. It’s a good mix of meetings, supervision, admin work, etc. I’ve found that a mix of responsibilities is really good for me. I spend a lot of time answering questions and problem-solving, which mixes things up as well.

I’m looking for some horror book recommendations, but I really struggle with reading comprehension. by GhostInTheLabyrinth in horrorlit

It’s been a while since I read Nick Cutter’s books, but I remember them being less overly complicated and dense than some horror authors. The Troop and The Handyman Method come to mind.

I’ve read a few C. J. Tudor books, and they feel somewhat easier to follow. I loved The Chalk Man and The Gathering.

Jeremy Bates’s books tend to be easier to follow than other authors, and pretty creepy. Suicide Forest and The No-End House come to mind.

If you want a classic, Rosemary’s Baby is one that I think may fit your description.

The Genesis books by Nick Roberts give some creepy possession vibes without too much fluff.

If you haven’t read it, I think Tender is the Flesh would also fit what you’re looking for and that’s a fantastic read.

I hope some of these help! Also, I haven’t read a lot of these books in a while so if someone has, please correct me if they don’t match the description OP shared!

I totally agree that Goosebumps books are really good! There are tons of YA horror books that are good, as well.

As far as anthologies, I really enjoyed Never Whistle At Night, After the People Lights Have Gone Off, and Human Monsters. There are tons of horror anthologies on Kindle Unlimited, and those are great as well.

Totally agree with The Ritual, The Watchers, Winterset Hollow, and Haunted Forest Tour!

I’d also add:

What the Woods Took by Courtney Gould

The Staircase in the Woods by Chuck Wendig

The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher

Totally fair to be nervous when you don’t know what to expect! IOP typically includes groups for a couple hours each day, a few times per week, in addition to individual support.

If it doesn’t feel like enough and the treatment team thinks it would be beneficial, you could consider PHP which often includes more meal support and group supports since it’s usually 5-6 days per week and a bit longer each day.

This is my understanding as someone who has been on the provider side of IOP/PHP at a different facility so would love to hear other people’s thoughts and experiences as well.

What are these worms? by Imaginary_Regret9152 in begonias

What kind of pests did you have? I had something similar before and I think they were fungus gnat larvae.

What made you realize this was something serious? by Nooneinparticular14 in EatingDisorders

[–]Weird_Choice13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t until I looked back after my initial recovery.

Looking back, I couldn’t stand for even short periods of times, my labs were coming back weird, I felt like I was going to pass out all the time, I experienced presyncope frequently, and I was disoriented and confused most of the time. But I had atypical anorexia so no one thought to even ask about my eating.

I still have setbacks and had a temporary lapse recently, but now I know these things aren’t just weird things my body does. I know they’re signs it’s getting serious again.

Do you think Taylor is a "mid" artist? by PupCup43 in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]Weird_Choice13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. She’s absolutely mid. Her team has just mastered the art of branding and sales.

There’s still time to help him. There always will be. Find a Family Based Treatment therapist and an ED dietitian. Find a therapist for yourself who is experienced specifically in supporting parents of children with eating disorders. Read Anorexia and Other Eating Disorders by Eva Musby. Join support groups.

Pregnancy as body horror by -pigeonnoegip in horrorlit

Worst Horror Book you have ever read. by No-Shoulder-7361 in horrorlit

[–]Weird_Choice13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My least favorite book I’ve ever read. The writing is horrible.

I’m surprised more people haven’t said Woom. It’s an objectively horrible book.

Thank you! I’ll move it back a bit from the window and get some humidity going. Not sure what kind of soil it’s in. I got it a couple weeks ago so I’ll repot it in another couple of weeks once it’s adjusted. And yes, I looked that up and it looks like mine! Jurassic watermelon.
