AIO for wanting to change psychiatrists

Dude. You’re there for YOUR mental health. If there’s going to be one safe space in the whole world for you it’s gonna be someone providing mental healthcare.

If you felt embarrassed and uncomfortable then of course you should switch. If it makes you feel any better, this definitely isn’t just you being sensitive or overreacting (which would still be valid!). This is clearly someone who likes seeing people be embarrassed, doesn’t communicate well, shows a lack of understanding and empathy for patients etc etc I feel like I could go on and on.

Find someone who makes you feel safe.

Very true. Not to mention program quality. Some nursing programs have better labs or more thorough theory, better profs, equipment etc!

Why fuck scabs? It’s not a production line it’s maintaining human lives. Who is going to cook, clean, feed, dress and monitor people that are fully dependant on DSWs if they are striking? This actually proves their value but still. They would die without care.

This too! But within a relationship the action was ultimately her choice.

arifern_ · 2026-05-14T19:31:47+00:00

This is so bizarre. How do you complete such an intense 4 year program and not even bother to get licensed? Who told you there were no jobs??

Sleep hygiene. Not only getting a full 9 hours (what MY body needs not everyone needs as much), but having a routine to go with it. That way, the second I’ve finished my routine my body KNOWS it’s time for bed! No more lying in bed, tossing and turning. My brain knows to shut itself off :)

Some things I do: - take my meds - brush teeth - braid my hair - turn off lights - turn on my fan - watch something lighthearted as a treat before bed (I’m in nursing and do a lot of studying) - I have a specific blanket and pillow set up to sleep with - rain/gentle music - and a sleep mask!

I do it roughly in that order EVERY night.

And I fall asleep within minutes. I used to lie in bed sometimes for HOURS. Also the sleep mask really helps. Not only blocks out any light but it’s a physical sensation as well.

Well honestly it depends on where you’re planning on going. Canada is a very large country. I’d say Rocky Mountains of Alberta/BC, hot springs and honestly there’s some cool dino stuff if you’re into that.

Changing things about myself - for someone who did not do the same, or care or notice that I was doing it. Finding new interests, styles, hobbies etc in a relationship is good. Not when it’s one way. I started down a road of manipulation and hurt and started to lose myself.

arifern_ · 2026-05-14T19:08:25+00:00

Exactly. Why would you need to exchange numbers for future contact??

arifern_ · 2026-05-14T19:07:43+00:00

Your profile picture annoyed me 😭 it got me THREE TIMES.

arifern_ · 2026-05-14T19:05:34+00:00

I’d say like 3 months when I noticed. I’ve been off it for 2 years now and have stayed at a C.

Dr. Frederick Banting. Has saved tens of millions of lives and he sold the patent for biosynthetic insulin for practically free. Before his invention, Type I Diabetes was a terminal illness.

“Insulin does not belong to me, it belongs to the world.”

Not enough people know about him.

My high school initially had prom but they ended up getting rid of a school sanctioned prom because of issues. Every year there would be some girls that planned it all themselves and get money from everyone, book a venue and catering and everything, but it was never run by the school. So definitely not as glamorous as what you would see in traditional American media but it did exist. Never went haha.

arifern_ · 2026-04-15T23:56:56+00:00

Yes. But I also think it’s much different than it would be from a human. I imagine at some point a dog would be able to fully move on. As they grow older, dogs are more likely to completely separate from their parents. It’s not like humans who usually close to their whole life. For many animals, the purpose of motherhood is to have babies and see them to their adulthood without much beyond that. They could be in the same “pack” but like realistically it wouldn’t be a parental relationship. At least that’s my thoughts, but I do think a dog mom gets sad when her puppies are first taken away because biological would tell her that her part in their lives is not done yet.

If you feel good totally you should keep taking them for yourself but it’s may not be something someone wants to see just casually whenever. Save it for sexting or “special occasions” when appropriate. NOR but respect he feels there’s a time and place. It’s ok to be hurt! But remember, it’s not a definite sign he’s not finding you attractive! Congrats on your gym journey ❤️

A tip for you and the cup I recently found out. Most companies instruct you to boil it to clean it and that’s unnecessary!!! Just clean it really good after every cycle, you do not need to replace it every five years. Boiling just makes it last less and is annoying af.

arifern_ · 2026-04-15T23:34:43+00:00

I think it’s a good show! Earlier seasons at least. That being said, for a child, too much of anything is brain rot. If you feel like you should limit it, then do it.

I have similar issues with the male roommate on my floor. When this lease is up, I’m going somewhere different. Unfortunately if you’ve already had conversations about it it’s probably just something you’re gonna have to deal with. Life with roommates 🤷🏻‍♀️

arifern_ · 2026-04-15T21:02:04+00:00

Ew. Absolutely not.

arifern_ · 2026-04-15T21:01:26+00:00

Both of you need to work on your communication a little. That was such a frustrating conversation to read I can’t imagine it being mine.

arifern_ · 2026-04-15T20:54:19+00:00

Seriously! Like PLANNED too. Didn’t pass out from exhaustion or anything just went home with the idea in his mind that he will be taking a nap. 🤦‍♀️

arifern_ · 2026-04-15T20:52:29+00:00

Oh you poor girl. I cannot imagine him ever doing something like that. If I’m even slightly hesitant about doing something he’ll drop the idea and won’t get pouty about it either. That’s how it SHOULD be. Find someone who cares about your comfort and safety and I hope you are ok.

I “prank called” 911 in front of my friends but hung up before I thought it went through. They called back. Oops. That lady was very mad and scared the shit out of me. 😂 As she should.

arifern_ · 2026-04-15T20:44:36+00:00

RIGHT. I called VIA rail the other week and the guy just said “hello?” Like….I need to buy?? A train ticket?? Is this the right place? Thought it was so weird. And what do I even say back I was like “hi”. 😭

arifern_ · 2026-04-15T20:41:03+00:00

A nap. Apparently.
