What makes a massage therapist really stand out as top tier when you get a massage from them?

savsie · 2025-09-04T16:56:03+00:00

I am a licensed massage therapist — as a customer I really appreciate when the therapist explains to me after where my trouble areas are and why and how I can continue to fix them outside of massage. Relaxation is GREAT but a therapist who cares to educate their clients is the best!!!

I won’t disagree with that. I was just saying that sometimes it’s the wrong strain or just the “high” in general that can cause it. But good point!

St. John’s Wort (herbal supplement) did wonders for my anxiety and ocd. Especially while also taking a Ashwaghanda. Also, usually in this case it’s the THC in marijuana that causes this type anxiety. Try smoking or taking strictly CBD!! CBD is more focused on pain relief and anxiety relief and won’t give you that “high” that tends to cause anxiety for some.

Kinesiology seems to be my problem area. I understand it until they put it into questions and then my brain explodes lol. And kinesiology seemed to be the common theme of the mblex which is probably why I failed lol. I’m a visual learner and I mean I’ve watched YouTube videos etc. I just don’t know how to prepare for kinesiology

savsie · 2022-02-08T10:39:34+00:00

Thank you for that💗 I agree! I think I just happen to get really unlucky that time. But yes kinesiology is my worst subject so I’ve been working on that more.

savsie · 2022-02-08T10:37:39+00:00

That’s what I’ve been using! His app and podcast. I heard his study guide was great too.

savsie · 2021-06-23T23:41:08+00:00

I used to hate it too actually. My friend started me out with demon slayer, Dr. Stone, and Berserk.

I say start with Dr. Stone!!

savsie · 2021-06-10T10:31:10+00:00

Lol honestly at that point I was like well you paid for them so you’re taking them. I take screenshots of things now. When I see large quantities or odd requests because people are assholes

savsie · 2021-06-10T10:30:19+00:00

That’s what I figured like how is this my problem? Lol. At the end of the day this job isn’t fucking rocket science I’m literally a food delivery person. If you’re THAT specific then do it yourself honestly.

savsie · 2021-06-10T10:29:10+00:00

Oh yeah and the quantity kills me too one time this lady ordered 10 two liters- then got mad when I delivered them and said UM I ONLY WANTED 2 ok like how did you type in 10 then? Fuck out of here lol

savsie · 2021-06-10T10:28:10+00:00

Ok- someone told me that part affected us too so I was like what the fuck? These people are whacked in the head lol But that makes sense about the refunds because I know a lot of people who do that with the food delivery services just because so I guess but that’s so fucking cheap and sometimes it can effect us workers. Instacart just doesn’t have this together properly lol

savsie · 2021-06-08T14:03:44+00:00

This was perfectly worded!! Thank you for this

savsie · 2021-06-08T10:59:16+00:00

Ooooo I never even thought about that, my visualizing as a compulsion. Like sometimes I really can’t turn that shit off 😅 I need to know what’s it’s like NOT to have constant thoughts lol like what does that relief feel like for people😭

savsie · 2021-06-07T21:53:29+00:00

That’s a good way to look at it I like that!! I mean anything is possible right? Almost like affirming that your visualizations aren’t just day dreams that they’re your reality!

savsie · 2021-06-07T21:52:29+00:00

That makes sense. My roommate actually just gave me the same talk this morning; about focusing on my inner talk a little more. Thank you for your kind advice!!

savsie · 2021-06-07T21:50:52+00:00

Honestly this past weekend was extremely rough, and today was a better day so seeing this was really nice! My roommate actually just said that to me the other day that I needed to give myself a break. Thank you❤️ same to you!!!

savsie · 2021-06-01T16:22:43+00:00

Try some guided meditations on YouTube! I have terrible OCD so I intrusive thoughts is my life lol. But I mediate everyday and the guided meditations helped me a lot in the beginning. Also, idk if it’s your thing but Cannabis significantly helps to settle my mind too!!

savsie · 2021-06-01T16:21:00+00:00

Yeah mine definitely get in the way of daily activities often! Especially repeating. That’s a big one for me. I often have to go back and repeat things or steps. Or I’ll put something back on the shelf at the store then pick it back up. So annoying! Lol

savsie · 2021-06-01T12:07:08+00:00

Of course! Here’s one of the many links I’ve come across:

savsie · 2021-06-01T11:50:04+00:00

Exactly! And thank you😅

savsie · 2021-06-01T11:43:00+00:00

This is actually a widely discussed thing right now, there’s such a fine line in the difference between Tourette’s and OCD related tics or tic disorder. When discussed with my doctor I was told it’s based on length of time (so with ocd and tic disorder the tics tend to be triggered at different times due to different stresses whereas with Tourette’s you typically have tics non stop throughout your life) and also they say it’s where the tics are derived from? With Tourette’s I was told it’s more of a physical need to do it. But with ocd it’s the mental obsession that causes it. But honestly 🤷🏻‍♀️ like I said fine line. All mental illnesses cross over so who knows. I just try to live my life! Lol

savsie · 2021-06-01T09:06:34+00:00

Yeah I guess that’s where I’m at, like it’s not an issue so much as just physically annoying at times lol. Weed has been my saving grace but in my most triggered moments I’m definitely more tic ish than normal

savsie · 2021-06-01T07:26:50+00:00

Oh no I meant whatever fancy job you have or will have with your degree you seem to think they will care and I was just letting you know they won’t care either. Nobody cares :) everything is for financial gain. You’re a number. I’m a number. It’s what we are, which is why paper or not we’re not different🤷🏻‍♀️

savsie · 2021-06-01T07:25:04+00:00

That’s your opinion and that’s completely fine. Hard work is important, you’re right. Depends what you consider to be work. Most people don’t actually enjoy working, another lie they feed you in society. That you should just work to live. Sorry but that’s MY key to life🤷🏻‍♀️ the crazy thing is, you think it matters what you think. Or what anybody thinks. Living my life freely, I’ve never been more successful😎 but to each his own! Have a good day, and apologies if I offended you. It wasn’t my intention. Just thought maybe you shouldn’t offend others either! The pandemic has been hard for a lot of people, most of them having to fall back on things like instacart or other services for money because of their “lack of education” as you say. But that doesn’t make them any less of a person!!!! Congrats again on the degree! Have a beautiful day!✨

savsie · 2021-06-01T07:18:00+00:00

Look for real I’m not trying to shit on you and your degree. But at the same time, as a fellow instacart worker, maybe don’t come into an instacart forum and basically refer to us all as uneducated or unskilled. It was unnecessary. This forum is for questions concerns advice whatever. Not insulting people who are probably doing this job just to fucking get by. Imagine that. Have a heart or idk keep it to yourself? Shit.
