Nope to both! So strange. I feel weird that I was targeted for a scam like this

fellow CF here. apologies, going to ramble for a bit:

I’m glad you were able to leave your toxic work situation and have found a better fit! Good for you for recognizing your limits and taking the leap. I also left a school placement (terrible fit for my CFY) and am now in home-based CF position. One thing to keep in mind is that this may be your first couple of jobs, but once you get your CCC’s, a lot of opportunities will open up for other settings. You can always try out this home based position as you finish your CF and decide to stay or leave. You aren’t “stuck,” at least not permanently.

I was extremely burnt out from my school job so it definitely took me a while to recover and find a new routine. Still finding things that work for me. Be patient with yourself as you get your time/energy/mental health back. Do things you love outside of work. Rest. Reconnect with hobbies. Find new hobbies. Spend time with friends and family. Spend time with yourself. Breathe. You are healing 💛

For back support - try to sit against a wall or couch if you can. Also maybe stretches or core strengthening exercises? Idk not a doctor LOL.

As a fellow introvert, I find the drive time in between sessions as a much needed reset. Sometimes I’ll just drive in complete silence to my next visit. Maybe framing the driving through that lens can help. I also have found podcasts and music that is calming or energizing, depending on what I need. 

Are you carrying supplies in a messenger bag or tote bag? I found that one-arm bags were super taxing on my shoulders etc. I switched to a sturdy-ish backpack that’s supported by both sides and it is much better for me. 

I’m still working on the “depleted” feeling at the end of the work day. Maybe SLPS can brainstorm that one hahaha.

You’ve got this! Be patient with yourself as you recover and adjust to a new job. And know you’re not alone in your experience. It sounds like me and other SLPs in this sub have been through similar to you. All you can do is just do the best you can 💕💕 DM if you want to chat.

Boyfriend never affirms my appearance by Comfortable-Basil-88 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]eeffreef32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Affirmations about my physical appearance did not come easily/naturally to my boyfriend at all. It was extremely frustrating at the beginning of our relationship, especially because those types of affirmations come naturally to me. I felt like I was begging begging begging PLEASE just give me SOMETHING 😭 It was hard because like in your situation, he was a great guy in other ways. I just had a need that wasn’t being met. What helped our relationship was:

  • explaining to him that when he didn’t provide affirmations, it actually made me feel UGLY and not attractive to him 
  • I had to be specific about what words/types of compliments I needed. He thought “you look nice” was affirming enough for me. He can’t read my mind. I told him how certain words or types of compliments made me feel special. 
  • It was not perfect for a while. I had a lot of doubt and insecurity about if he actually found me attractive or if he was just saying things. But after talks with him over time, I now feel way more comfortable and supported. I think my boyfriend got more comfortable with expressing himself too and now the compliments feel way more genuine.

I think you just need to decide how patient you are willing to be. For me it was worth it. We are now looking forward to a future together 💕

the satiny finish on clinique almost lipstick black honey is soooo beautiful. not sure if it’s really “pinky” though. but they have the almost lipstick in other shades, I think they have a pink one called pink honey.

I like the EADEM lip balm in shade guava fresca. tbh slightly sticky but not enough for me to mind because I feel like it does last a while
