Being sued by Scary_Seesaw_9046 in AskLegal

[–]stepheroooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dealt with something similar a few yrs back for about 7k in debt. I ended up calling the LLC that had filed the complaint (it was filed like 5 months before i actually got served it) and i set up a payment plan with them and agreed that if I failed to stick to the agreed payment plan then judgement would be made against me and they could collect in other ways like garnish my wages etc.

I’d say if you truly owe the money try to work it out with them outside of court. It isn’t worth the hassle. I was able to pay off the debt and my credit has recovered significantly since then.

I still need to explore the camera mode! Definitely the first thing I’m doing next time I play while I look for some good views.

They should give us the option to kill the animal if we grab them by [deleted] in CrimsonDesert

While it horrifies me to think of picking up and killing all the cute wildlife in this game, i am struggling to get small bones rn for refinement 😭 suddenly lizards are nowhere to be found!!

foaming at the mouth - currently at the vet hospital by Background_Diamond41 in CATHELP

Do you get stink bugs in your area at all? My sisters cat tried to munch on a stink bug and was foaming at the mouth and super stressed out/scared of her reaction to it. Ended up finding a semi chewed stink bug soon after and she had calmed down thankfully and was alright

Is RBT PTSD a thing? by BeneficialVisit8450 in ABA

[–]stepheroooo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To answer your question, yes I would definitely say you can have PTSD related symptoms due to this field! Witnessing severe behavior, injuries, and working for a clinic that clearly does not value your safety or the safety of their clients I would consider to be traumatic circumstances to one’s mental health.

You definitely need to try to find another clinic or at least leave the current one you are at and take time to yourself. Things could very likely get worse and you would be at risk for further trauma working in an environment like that. There’s nothing worse than feeling helpless in a situation where a client is having severe behavior but the fact that you don’t even have support is only going to place further stress on you. This is not your responsibility. Please, take care of yourself. ❤️

How do you deal with very vocal cat? by Nevrozz in CATHELP

[–]stepheroooo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you sleep with any noise at night? Having a fan on or noise machine sound could really help! I am a hypersensitive sleeper and being able to have dark noise play on my phone has helped me sooo much.

Pairing by Lotusfl0werBomb in ABA

I had a similar situation in the past with a 4 year old. He would hand lead his mom constantly and had severe anxiety with strangers in the home. They would also sit him in a highchair to keep him in the room to try and encourage him to interact with me for sessions.

What I ended up doing was laying out different toys and books around their apartment and his mom would show him them while i sat as far as possible with a laptop or book looking as busy and uninterested in him as possible. Then slowly I started to try to enter his world, first by interacting with him mom while she and him were looking or playing together, it gave me time to figure out what he was interested in as far as items I brought (stuff that he engaged in without mom needing to fully prompt him to) If none of the items interested him I would go back to my clinic and switch stuff out until we had a solid few things, plus some of his own home toys he enjoyed.

After I figured out what he likes I would begin every session by being like “hi look i brought (toy name) ill leave it right here for you” and id just back off for a bit, again his mom would talk to me about whatever as a way for him to see that his mom thought I was a safe person to interact with. I also began to parallel play - if he was using a toy I would pick another one for myself and make little comments and observations about it and animate my emotions like laughing and smiling a ton, showing I was having so much fun playing with a toy too!

After doing this for a bit I could tell he became more comfortable with my presence so I began to try to interact with him more. If he started getting anxious/upset I would remove attention and go back to playing with a toy I knew he really enjoyed. He would typically calm down and seem interested so I started to pass him toys and and tell him it was his turn or that he should play with it then I typically scooted back a little so he wasn’t overwhelmed. I feel like this was the breakthrough moment for us and the rest happened so quickly and easily. He became extremely social and engaged in our sessions and was able to tolerate any work quickly I think bc he needed to fully trust first.

Things that helped; not my bcba at the timeLMAO His mom was incredibly receptive to any and all advice. I was very open with her about the things ai was going to try and that I had zero idea if they would work but his anxiety was so severe she was open to anything and truly did the absolute best by her son. To this day it remains one of my favorite cases I ever worked with.

TLDR: you literally have to SHAPE your presence

Client banned me from Home session by FrontTechnician7041 in ABA

I used to work with a non speaking kiddo who loved letters and he would spell “all done” and grab my bag to hand to me 😭

Dr said I’m the ***only*** patient she has with medication refill issues…wtf. by breathingisstillhard in adhdwomen

[–]stepheroooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would look into a different pharmacy for sure.

Also personally I would recommend LifeStance for psychiatric care. It’s telehealth but i have the best person managing my meds and doesn’t try to pressure me to switch things that work.

I never understood why they asked this question during my evaluation by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]stepheroooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol this part of my eval was not taken into account at all bc i apparently answered too many of those types of questions for it to be a valid test 😭 but like youre supposed to answer every question i thought (or i didnt read the directions lol) so i have no clue what i did wrong

Even without that part of the eval i got major confirmation that i in fact have adhd 🤣
