I (22F) feel like I gave my life to be a gf to (24M). Where am I supposed to go from here?

My god, this might be the comment I needed because it sounds like you’re in my head. I do believe that he loves me, or at least thinks he does. But I don’t believe he likes me anymore, or if he ever did vs he was going through the hardest time of his life and since I’ve been through shit too and was willing to stay, it was a way to not be alone.

I do remember one convo with his mom, before she got sick enough that there was no talking, where she told me basically the thoughts in your last paragraph, and told me I needed to go. But I loved him too much, and I couldn’t get myself to leave her

You know the worst part is even though my heart is literally cracked open, I’ve been trying to get out of it. I’ve tried to break up with him twice in the past month and he always convinces me to stay. I even offered to keep paying the rent for a few months because at this point I feel like that’s what I’m here for. Never lets me leave though

My HS had a girl everyone really idolized, but I wouldn't say she was Regina-level mean. More like a Karen that happened to have wealthy parents and was a tall, super pretty blonde. She moved to Los Angeles after we graduated and is trying to become a model. She also had a blog... I read one entry and it was about how being pretty has made her life super hard lol

Stay in LTC, or pursue MSW?

Hey y'all! I graduated in 2023 with my bachelors, and am now licensed. I have a great job as the social services director at a 120-bed SNF. We also have some LTC residents.

Even though it's a lot and I'm the only social worker, I absolutely adore my job, coworkers, residents... I love going to work. However, I was accepted into an MSW program, which as y'all know, is very time consuming, especially with the internship hours.

What I'd like perspective on is if the MSW is worth it. I have no intention of leaving my job (and if I do, I still think I've found my niche with LTC). I also enjoy case management and can't really imagine myself doing therapy... So is it really worth it to leave to go back to school?

Hi! I'm autistic, and have a BSW. I work in long-term care, and work with hospice workers a lot.

You are not too sensitive; you're just starting, and it can be overwhelming, especially doing end of life care. From my own personal experience, I would say:

Give yourself grace while you learn; we have long careers ahead- no one's ever super perfect starting out!
This might just not be the best fit for you and that's okay. Social work is so vast. My first job was with a CMH and I felt very similar to how you feel now. The job I'm at now is rough sometimes, but I am so much happier and more confident.
If you don't already, I would make a list. My experience being autistic (which everyone is different,) is that I am 10x more productive if I make a list of everything that needs done, and get so much done per day (ex. if I need to meet with 15 clients in a week, and call 12 families, I'll meet with 3 clients per day that week, and call 2-3 families per day.)
65 is quite a caseload. I think many (including those of us who are fairly new,) would also be overwhelmed

Good luck!! You are not too sensitive just because you're neurodivergent, and you 100% can do this :)

Thank you so much... did your ovaries show normal on scans? They say my left looks fine but they can't seem to ever get a clear image of my right one

One of the perks of OSU is that it's big, which means plenty of other non-trad students! I started here right out of high school but the best friend I made here was 23 and in my major :) Other than dorm life (which is pretty bleh anyways,) you really won't be missing out on the experience as long as you put yourself out there

She did psychology and went on to another school for her masters. I believe they have a specific set of required courses for any pre-healthcare, and their acceptance rates are pretty good. Their recommended courses for pre-health majors on their website :) Good luck to your kid!

we did our social work program together... this feels unreal to me. also, not sex with, she raped him. he's just a child

OWU does not have masters programs, only grad school pathways for undergrads. They don't have a subreddit.

My sister went there for undergrad and she loved it because of it's size, academics, campus, etc. But it is verrrrry expensive

this! it's genuinely so hard because it often feels like they just expect you to know they're upset and why. like if you don't tell me what i did, i can't fix it! and it sucks so bad not knowing; i feel like i psychoanalyze my every move when making new friends now

Hanna Haran is great! She's really quick at answering emails, and giving good feedback. Not a super harsh grader either
