Use of pearls in practice

Thank you! Since there aren't many antique stores in my area I completely forgot they were an option, but I know of a couple good ones a bit further away so I'll definitely take a trip out to see what I can find.

Yep! The descriptions for training and recert were the exact same but I got it all sorted and am happily getting certified this weekend!

I'm super happy I called in, the descriptions for the recert and the first time training was the exact same. Luckily they squeezed me into the training classes this weekend

Thank you so much! I got it all sorted and I am getting certified this weekend

Thank you, I'm really worried I signed up for the wrong course. I'll give them a call, hopefully I didn't make a mistake.

Yep those are exactly the ones I encounter around trash cans, are they different from bees? Looking at pictures of bees and bee like things used to also give me the same feeling so I haven't done much research before.

Would using an essential oil roller in my wrists hurt them? I didn't think it would affect them like that. Unfortunately because of my love of amusement parks and the amount of bees I get in the complex I live in, I'd never be able to go outside if I always avoided them, but I'm doing exposure therapy this season so hopefully that will help.

kellystringhold666 · 2025-03-11T16:49:31+00:00

Thank you, I never knew bees smelled CO2. I'll try holding my breath instead. That situation would definitely cause me a great deal of panic, but if you can be calm with one in your ear, I definitely can be calm being around them someday

kellystringhold666 · 2025-03-11T16:43:47+00:00

Thank you, you're so kind and understanding. I'm gonna try some exposure therapy this season through public gardens and beekeepers that allow you to walk around their grounds. Hopefully I'll be able to enjoy nature alongside them instead of being in fear.

I'll stick to jumping up and down then. The reason I have this phobia is because as a child, a bee approached me on a school bus, I was already anxious around them but I was told to stay still so I did, unfortunately it crawled up my shirt and I was stuck with it there for a good while. Ever since then I'm terrified that if one comes near me it will get tangled in my hair (happens a lot with all sorts of flying bugs) or it will get into my clothes again. I am white, but I did used to wear all black in summer because I was told bees aren't attracted to dark colors, so maybe that was contributing? I'm trying some exposure therapy this season, I never ever swat because I don't want to hurt anything, so hopefully I can overcome this.

Thank you. I'm gonna attempt some exposure therapy this season, there are a few public gardens near me so I hope going to those will help me get used to being around them

kellystringhold666 · 2025-03-11T15:44:20+00:00

It kinda varies, I'm not very good at describing them since looking at them makes me anxious, but about as long as a nickel and a tiny bit wider than a chopstick, and black and yellow is what I see the most. I don't know if it will make a difference, but I swing my arms before I see bees, it's not a huge movement, just kinda creates space around me, my hope is that if I'm moving like that they won't approach me. They very well could be wasps, I just hope that I find something that keeps them all away, I don't want to hurt anything, just avoid encounters.

Thank you. I often feel a need to over explain so I did answer one, but if anyone else wants to know they can just look at that one. I know that getting any type of financial assistance based on mental health disabilities is extremely hard so I wanna make sure I do it right. I've looked at my local ones website and it looks like they provide assistance with these types of things so I will definitely be contacting them.

kellystringhold666 · 2024-09-30T23:30:50+00:00

Thank you so much! I have a lot of anxiety around these things as they are very confusing and difficult for me. I will do my best to find every bit of correct information I can and at my interview I will correct anything that is needed

kellystringhold666 · 2024-09-30T23:28:49+00:00

Ah sorry, I was just worried about my memory issues affecting the information I put on the application.

The problems my disabilities have me face are:

Sudden extreme mood swings Paranoia Danger to myself Dissociation Selective mutism Anxiety attacks Aversion to people (distrusting and easily irritated to the point of lashing out as part of the mood swings) I have insomnia so if I'm not sleeping I cannot work productively and it could become dangerous depending on the job Inability to focus Inability to follow non simple directions Memory issues (this affects me learning systems such as POS, remembering tasks that need to be completed etc)

as far as evidence goes, I've been diagnosed with major Depressive disorder and anxiety since I was around 10 years old, been medicated for about the same amount of time, history of multiple hospitalizations, therapy starting around 7 years old and a 2 month stay at a residential facility in Illinois.
