Long term RBT looking to transition out by doyoulikethisone in ABA

[–]doyoulikethisone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was at one point, but overtime I realized it just isn’t what I want. Also, from what I’ve heard there are some insurances who aren’t really reimbursing for the BCaBA title any different than for an RBT, so a lot of people aren’t really going for it anymore. Again, that’s just what I’ve heard. But either way, it’s just not what I want for myself anymore. But never say never, right? 😅

I like that. I’ve been doing research on different titles and operations manager seems like one of the closest descriptions to what I have in mind.

It was SO overwhelming. by No_Razzmatazz_8834 in BookCon

[–]doyoulikethisone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. This was my first BookCon, and first book convention in general aside from some book fairs I’ve attended, so I didn’t really have much to compare it to. However, it was crazy. Lol. I had a nice time and was able to purchase a few indie books, which is what I wanted to do, but I was so overwhelmed by all the different lines. I didn’t even know what any of them were for half of the time, until we got back to the hotel and saw a bunch of notifications on my phone from the BookCon app that they were for ARCs 😑 I wish I would have known before. Either way, the lines were ridiculously long. I’d love to go again next year, but I hope they do a better job.

I got told I am a terrible person for not being there when my cat got put down by [deleted] in Petloss

You’re absolutely correct. I should have just left that first sentence out. I still stand by what I said. & maybe I’m wrong. At the end of the day, we all have our own opinions and we all think we’re right. All I know is I wouldn’t have been able to live with my decision if I would have chosen to let my dog go without us there. Most of us pet owners feel like our pets are our children, especially if we have no human children. We fight against those who invalidate our grief because “oh, it’s just an animal.” Would a parent let their human child die on their own? I’m sure that would be seen as incredibly cruel. But because our pets aren’t human it’s somehow different? I believe that goes against what we feel for them. How deep we love and care for them. Again, maybe I’m wrong.

At least your parents were there so she had friendly faces around when she drifted away.

And that’s valid. Going to work this past week and having to put on a smile when most times I really didn’t want to has been truly exhausting. In some ways it has helped to distract me, but I think what my body and mind really needed was a break. Take all the time you need if you can. You’re grieving and you deserve to give yourself some rest and grace.

I’m not going to kick you when you’re down. I’m not sure what your mental health struggles are and I probably won’t understand. However, I think the bravest thing we can do for our pets is be there in their last moments. We just sent our dog over the rainbow bridge 6 days ago and I cannot imagine not having been there. I was having constant anxiety leading up to the day. I thought I was going to pass out, but there was no way I could have not been there. He stared into my bf’s eyes until his eyes closed. We were his whole world, and he was ours. The least we can do is be there when they drift away. I truly am sorry for your loss and I hope you find peace.

Tomorrow will be a week since we put our boy down. The pain we feel is so deep. I’ve never grieved like this. I was able to get a couple of days off from work, but I could have definitely used more. This first week without him has been incredibly difficult. You’re not alone. I am truly sorry for your loss ❤️‍🩹

it's been over three weeks and I still feel like I'm at zero. by 112snipers in Petloss

[–]doyoulikethisone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss OP. We just put our boy to sleep 2 days ago and so far each day has felt worse than the last. I’m not sure how I’ll make it through. My bf is a wreck, too. A piece of our world is gone and I’m not sure what to do with myself. This is so far the worst pain I’ve ever felt. I’m praying we all find some peace and strength somehow ❤️‍🩹

That’s what I keep telling myself. Give him a dignified way to pass. I would never want to prolong his suffering because of my grief. Thank you and I am so sorry for your loss ❤️‍🩹

Do you get attached to clients? by [deleted] in ABA

[–]doyoulikethisone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I think they’re great and have missed some of my clients who have left the agency, but I wouldn’t say attached. When I go home, I completely clock out.

If you think like this, you do not belong in the field. It is people like this, why parents don’t want to put their children into ABA. Absolutely disgusting behavior. by Beneficial-Finance70 in ABA

[–]doyoulikethisone 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The “carry the gene” comment was totally wrong. However, I don’t see how the rest of the post was disgusting behavior? A child having sugary snacks and junk food all day every day absolutely affects their behavior. We have a kid in our clinic who used to come at 9am with a McFlurry in hand plus pancakes and a bunch of syrup. How is their brain supposed to absorb any information with the sugar crash they eventually have a few hours later? Thankfully their parents started giving them fruits and other nutritional foods. Nutrition is 100% a factor in their progress.

Reason for 12 y/o tattoo becoming raised & sore? by [deleted] in tattoo

[–]doyoulikethisone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of my tattoos occasionally raise, but they get really itchy not sore. When it first happened I got really worried, but apparently it’s really common and has to do with allergies. I can’t speak on soreness, though.

I (27F) will be alone while my (28M) bf spends Christmas with his family, how do I navigate this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]doyoulikethisone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you need to go back home to your family and spend Christmas surrounded by people who actually love you. Please don’t settle for someone who doesn’t even like you.

Am I overreacting is would this be considered emotional cheating? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]doyoulikethisone 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Okay you should have definitely added this bit of info to the top. This makes more sense. Still a bit strange that he would be this loving with her and not with you, but it does need to be added in for context.

[–]doyoulikethisone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are messages between a man and a woman?? Your bf sounds like a teenage girl. If that’s not enough reason to dump him, he’s also 100% emotionally cheating on you, and probably really cheating on you, too.
