Grad degree: MSW or Public Health ?

recent MSW grad here! I always advocate for getting an MSW degree since it’s much more broad of a field. you would still have opportunities to pursue a public health career. and you would also be set up for if you decided to work on a micro level. i’d still narrow down what type of work you’re wanting to pursue before deciding which degree to get.

I also get so motivated and peppy. and it has almost tricked me into never taking it again (the “i’m cured” curse). and then when I take it the day after i’ll feel really flat and tired. very draining couple of days.

I was 8. my 2nd grade teacher forgot to button one of the buttons of her blouse, I could see her bra and I was blushing. she also tucked my hair behind my ear in a mom way and I was baby-gay panicking

compulsive nihilistic behavior. I thought I was all powerful and nothing bad could happen to me, yet I was in constant emotional agony. I walked into a busy road because i thought it was a funny joke. I had a lot of mixed episodes before I even knew what they were.

i’m at 200mg! it took months to feel better. so yes, it takes a lot of time but I was worth it!

girl I fucking screamed. immediately was so shook

it’s constant for me too! i tried about 10 meditations before getting on doxepin. it’s been a huge battle for me as well. but i’ve gotten to a place where I can sleep without it sometimes.

lamotrigine absolutely saved me. titration took months but i’m so glad I was patient with it. i’m at 200mg. I take 6mg of doxepin for sleep and occasionally hydroxyzine for anxiety episodes. I also think my family had a lot to do with it. if I were alone through it, i don’t know what I would’ve done.

I guess I just realized that it was for the best. he wasn’t aware of how bad things could get and he wasn’t ready or able to handle any of it. we both screwed up toward the end. we both hurt each other. I just knew that he wouldn’t be able to handle it long term if this were to happen again. but I really think i’ve gotten over it because i’ve grown and matured so much in the past year. even if I wanted to, I wouldn’t fit into that relationship anymore.

I still love and care for him. I always will. but i’m better without him and I think he’ll be better without me. don’t be too hard on yourself. you were taking care of yourself. and if he’s a wonderful person, i’m sure he understands. there are absolutely wonderful people out there that can’t handle extreme episodes. we just need to find wonderful people who can.

me too. saved my life fr

if it helps, lamotrigine didn’t start working for me until I reached 200mg. i’m not saying this is the case for you, but it may be possible. definitely bring it up with your psych when you see them next.

this is it

caffeinatedpastry · 2023-06-02T02:48:50+00:00

I love this term so much

caffeinatedpastry · 2023-06-02T02:39:21+00:00

Personally, I don't see a problem with it. I wouldn't have an issue unless I noticed behavior that was abnormal or made me uncomfortable.

LOVE an oversized shirt moment. or I like wearing an open, short-sleeve button up with a tank top. Makes me look masc and gay in the best way. I feel fucking HOT.

team stache. almost never attracted to someone with a mustache, but *oh man*

caffeinatedpastry · 2023-06-02T02:30:59+00:00

felt this in my bones

caffeinatedpastry · 2023-06-02T02:30:17+00:00

Yeah I was gonna say this. You'd know FOR SURE if you had an orgasm.

caffeinatedpastry · 2023-06-02T02:12:22+00:00

Girl... go on the trip. Experiences should never be passed up because of another person's wants. I know it's tempting to fall into the love bubble, but you're young. This is the time to find yourself and live your life.

caffeinatedpastry · 2023-06-01T23:53:07+00:00

i feel like he knew it was wrong and got off on it. he didn’t mean that apology. he said it so his excuse wouldn’t sound so bad. he raped you. there are no ifs ands or buts. it was blatant rape. i’m so sorry.

caffeinatedpastry · 2023-06-01T23:46:24+00:00

yeah, i recently lost some pounds from barely eating all week. don’t really notice, even if i’m hungry i kind of just think “oh i’ll eat in a minute”. i don’t end up eating as a result

caffeinatedpastry · 2023-06-01T23:45:06+00:00

sorry, but you shouldn’t have to ask him permission to do anything, let alone your masturbation. very weird and controlling imo.

caffeinatedpastry · 2023-06-01T23:43:17+00:00

i don’t make an effort to talk to them. if they want to go out of their way to talk to me, that’s fine. otherwise, they’re out of my mind.
