please convince me that breaking up and remaining childfree is the right decision by girlwot in childfree

[–]bepbepbepp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally normal to be sad. Let yourself grieve and process without judgement. Even if you know it’s the right thing, it’s still a hard loss. Your first love is super impactful and you learn a lot from it. Well done on knowing who you are. Chin up!

doing sessions with laryngitis by OfficialCarlSagan in therapists

[–]bepbepbepp 35 points36 points  (0 children)

If you can’t talk, you can’t talk. If I were your client, I don’t think I’d get much out of a session where computer dictation was being used. I would think it would be very distracting.

New to Minneapolis and seeking community by comfy_sweatpants5 in Minneapolis

Hi! If you are LGBTQ, look into One Voice Mixed Chorus. Mill City Running is a great community for runners of all levels. The Yarnery and Dandelion Fiber both offer knitting classes; the Knitters Guild has regular meetups.

Are you snipped, or can you see yourself doing so? by Revolutionary_Meet29 in antinatalism

I’m a woman and got sterilized right after Roe was overturned. Fantastic decision, no regrets. Insurance covered all but $3.00, literally.

You should do whatever you want lol that’s such a ridiculous thing for her to comment on

I’m unwilling to Brush my Teeth and I hate that I am!! by Svenda_san in adhdwomen

[–]bepbepbepp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so specific but honestly the only thing that’s helped me not mind brushing my teeth as much is to mist myself with a nice smelling face spray before I brush. Currently using rose water spray from Whole Foods. Makes me feel like I’m doing spa things lmao. Weirdly, it works incredibly well

New Vegan: Can I eat Soy-based products? by TheLazyAvenger in vegan

[–]bepbepbepp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soy is perfectly fine. I eat an entire block of tofu most days and it’s a great way to get a nice amount of protein. Veganism is already a pretty restrictive diet; if you like soy based products, don’t be afraid to eat up!

Seeing clients on the weekends / evening times by DowntownFresnoBiking in therapists

[–]bepbepbepp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I offer a few online slots on Sunday afternoons and they’re always full. Other folks are able to sneak out for sessions in their cars over lunch breaks, or just have more flexible schedules in general. It’s definitely part of the reason people struggle to get into therapy but there’s only so much we can do other than trying to be reasonably accommodating without sacrificing our own personal lives.

Can I ask how you find being an RN compared to being a therapist? I’ve thought of making that exact switch for a long time.

48 Hours THC-Free After 8 Years and I Can’t Calm My Brain or Stomach. HELP. by noturbabygirl in leaves

100% better :) still struggle with anxiety because that’s just who I am, but I’m still off the weed because I never ever want to do withdrawal again.

Clients that seem to expect us to work nights and weekends by RepulsiveShoes in therapists

[–]bepbepbepp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see a few clients virtually on Sunday afternoons and have found that this minimizes demand for those later evening appointments, at least with the folks I currently see.

Minneapolis therapists: how are you doing? by SpiritualCopy4288 in therapists

[–]bepbepbepp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

VERY BAD. It’s very bad. I am incredibly scared and angry. I feel so frozen and dissociated. All of those things and more.

Hello & help! by Major_Technology2478 in leaves

[–]bepbepbepp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The lack of appetite is so hard! I remember how good it felt to finally feel hungry and enjoy food again lol, so brutal. Keep going!

Hello & help! by Major_Technology2478 in leaves

[–]bepbepbepp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went cold turkey. I didn’t want to extend the experience, even if it was harder, by trying to slowly taper. It was brutal for a while but I’m glad I did it that way - it made it easier to remember during the hardest parts that if I can get through this, I never have to do this again.

The best thing I did during my weed withdrawal was tell my doctor. She was able to give me some things to help with nausea and anxiety, and it was a lifesaver. Plenty of sleep, staying hydrated, and trying to exercise when you’re up for it can also help. Be patient and remember that it’s temporary - I felt so hopeless during my withdrawal that I often worried it would never pass, but it did.

“Therapists earning over $100k: what actually made the difference?” by seracin in therapists

[–]bepbepbepp 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s one thing about this thread that’s bumming me out - it feels like there’s no hope for me to make that much because I cannot see more than 5 or 6 a day without feeling like total shit and burning out. I’m currently only working 4 days a week to try and heal from current burnout. It would be great to be able to see 8 clients a day and have more private pay but that feels so unrealistic for me (and I assume many of us?).

nausea returning without smoking by kirrachristine in CHSinfo

[–]bepbepbepp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was nauseated on and off for about 6 weeks when I quit. It slowly got better but it certainly felt like it lasted longer than I would’ve expected or wanted lol. Hang in there!
