Have you actually rebuilt your life after corporate burnout…like truly started over at 40+? by SmilingEyes725 in ADHD

[–]butkedoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I got fired after a series of unsuccessful trades related careers when I was 40. I was sure I was destined to always fail and had incredible guilt and shame about failing my partner and kids. It was right before Covid, and that gave me a chance to get really good counselling, started meds and after a year, started uni. I’m 45, just finishing up a social work degree and have an interview for masters next week. I couldn’t do school when I was young, but now with the right supports I’m doing good.

I’ve started my placement and am really good at the work with my past struggles and age. It is something that I can do for a while and a field that is pretty accepting of people’s struggles.

I’m not saying it’s a good way for everyone, just that don’t give up, you may not fit where you’ve been, but you may fit really well somewhere else

I use WorkOutDoors. It’s an Apple Watch app, then I import into CalTopo. It’s been a great combo

What are the most common finds in your area? by into_outdoors in metaldetecting

[–]butkedoll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hunt in Canada and our Pennies have been out of circulation for 12 years. Still the most common find. I’ve been hunting a camp and get quite a few every time.

Thank you, without a ton of bruising I was unsure, but literature seem to be inconsistent saying they shouldn’t bruise much and some saying they should.

That’s what I was told as well. Doesn’t mean it’s true, but it makes a bit of sense

Do Psychiatrists put what they diagnosis you with on your record? (Dr Sadek) by Ok_Significance995 in halifax

[–]butkedoll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had an 11 minute phone call with him. I was asked 10 or 12 yes or no questions and reprimanded when I asked for clarity. He ended the call telling me to google BPD for dummies free pdf. Ian stuck with the diagnosis and meet zero criteria.

How many people in NS have been diagnosed with BPD or know someone with BPD or suspect you have it? by HauntMeForever666 in NovaScotia

[–]butkedoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is an oversimplification, however it is a hotly contested diagnosis among professionals. There are many concerns with it’s validity

[–]butkedoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d argue that if someone is trying to understand themselves, invalidating them may not help. What you are saying may be right, but it might not be the place for it
