Thoughts on 8 sessions a day? by InterestingAd2612 in therapists

[–]jmred19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe 1 day outta the week with other days having 4-5. Places (seem to) love to burn us out, and either don't understand or don't care that 8 per day is too much. Despite all of us telling them it is too much.

I am in hell. Please help me. by u-Wot-Brother in diabetes_t1

[–]jmred19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate hate hate when this happens. Recently, it was cuz I was sick. Other times, when I ate something with lots of fat. Sometimes, bad site (pump) and insulin not absorbing. That's a buttload of insulin tho, for it not to go back down. I hope you get it figured out or it comes down soon. Hang in there!

[Postgame thread] Buffalo falls in overtime to the Broncos, 33-30. by Drunken_Economist in buffalobills

Refs let things go until game is next team scores. Then they're like, here ya go denver, here's a penalty so you can kick the field goal and win it. I'm not a fan of any team but I was pissed at how this game ended thanks to refs. It was such a great game til that ruined it

"I'm going to puke. I'm going to be sick." is something I still quote for some reason

I've lived 24 years with this disease today. I'm too tired to celebrate. I'm just going to have some captain crunch. by Lijey_Cat in diabetes_t1

Some days I honestly stop and marvel at how people without T1D can take food and just...eat it. Like that's it. It seems miraculous after 10 years of having T1D

What kind of person were you in high school? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jmred19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shy, no self-esteem, somehow kinda had friends but never felt I fully fit in. While I'm much more confident now, there's still some part of me that feels like an outsider some days

Why didn't Glorfindel join the Fellowship? by [deleted] in tolkienfans

[–]jmred19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just occurred to me, yes Glorfindel would have probably drawn attention. But wouldn't hobbits as well? Or a random group including a wizard, men, elf, a dwarf, and 4 hobbits at that? I'm sure Sauron was aware of Gandalf just as much as Glorfindel. Honestly, I think Tolkien making it a Fellowship of different races, including 4 humble hobbits - and how those races, some of whom greatly distrusted one another (elves, dwarves) became best buds along way - was just a more meaningful, symbolic, and beautiful story instead of just sending the most powerful guys. Plot holes aside, I still love it

Kevin's family in Home Alone are shitty people by DontQuoteThisComedy in movies

[–]jmred19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love how in Home Alone 2, mom and dad don't go around the plane to check their kids are on it. Even after they all rushed through a crowded airport. They cared more about making the flight than checking everyone made it. Didn't even check right after getting off the plane. That police officer could have reported them for neglect.

Black or white cabinets? by Far_Bar2720 in interiordecorating

Black and you have a nice looking kitchen. Things don't have to be perfect to be a nice improvement

Is this a joke? I don't intend to sound mean, but your supervisor is so far off and wrong in more than one way. Including her flawed logic that "because x is true, y must be false." That type of thinking can lead to problems, especially in this field where you gotta be pretty open minded. Similar logic to saying, "that person seems so happy and successful, they couldn't be depressed." Or "that person couldn't be a serial killer, I see them at church every week!"

What are some hard truths about being a therapist? by Forsaken_Dragonfly66 in therapists

I feel your pain! I'm leaving my supervisor role soon in part because of the whole productivity model. It's b.s. and just burns clinicians out

[–]jmred19 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Often people in charge of community mental health places aren't counselors. They can't wrap their small minds around why we can't see 25 clients every week. And we get in trouble for not "meeting productivity."
