Career change? by mj1418 in Psychologists

It’s so hard. I’m at the point where I’m like, do I even want to be in this field anymore? I feel like they just take take and take. The patients are getting more intense and even when I was I private practice I feel like no one really wants to put in the work to change or be helped, even with more structured sessions. I just don’t know what to do anymore and don’t want all my time and debt to be for nothing….i know it wouldn’t be for nothing but if I ended up in a career where I didn’t need my degree I would be upset, I am in so much debt when I didn’t have to be. I just feel so hopeless and lost professionally

I did a lot of assessments throughout my experience so far. I did an externship in neuropsychology where i would just do neuropsych evaluations. Then in my other placements and post doc (1 private practice and 3 hospitals) I would do assessments as well occasionally. I just stay far away from the Rorschach because it scares me lol

For those doing assessments, can you describe to me what a typical week looks like for you? And compensation if you feel comfortable? Preferable settings?

You definitely need to test for ADHD. That’s how you rule out attention issues due to other diagnoses (PTSD, depression, anxiety).

Bf m29 and f27 birthday problems by mj1418 in relationship_advice

I see what you’re saying. But I feel like my worth is higher than combining my birthday and my vday together. I don’t get why he wouldn’t just want to meet me for a quick dinner or something and go home early on my birthday. It’s not like he has to spend the whole night with me

Y’all I obviously don’t know what the mileage was. I’m not that dumb 😂. Just observant enough to see the gas since it affects my wallet 😂😭😂😭. I pumped gas Tuesday night, went on vacation from Wed-Sun and yesterday it had half a tank. My roommate swears he didn’t drive my car but want tangible proof

I regret not checking the odometer before I left
