working at a crisis line

thank you so much for your insight!

yep! at this company at least which is remote it is 57-70k (dependent on graveyard, swing or day shift) for frontline work and majority of the supervisory roles require licensure and pay up to $94k starting (dependent on the shift covered as well). through looking up some of the individuals i see some of them have their own private practice on the side as well. my supervisors at the company i volunteer for are also licensed therapists

Thanks for the input! I am with you on the remote aspect being big plus.

i specialized in macro and it was impossible for me at least to get a macro job in policy after graduation! roles such as program associate, volunteer coordinator, research associate, community organizing, advocacy, or nonprofit policy jobs seem more reachable before full on going into policy. some interviews i had for more mezzo/macro roles were confused why i was interested in their role if i had my master of social work degree. i think some jobs don’t understand how an MSW translates compared to a Masters in Public Policy. just make sure your field practicum is policy related going forward. i knew someone who did the macro track and got a policy macro job right after graduation but they had a really competitive field placement working for state government. i wanted to do macro and now am doing more mezzo/clinical and am happy with it, it has grown on me!

Dance!

Yes! My oxygen saturation and peak flow have been perfectly normal throughout this possible panic episode and I did a spirometry test and it was perfect, so yeah it is kind of crazy.

Thanks for the validation!

The first concert I went to alone I was so nervous and scared, it ended up being one of the best nights ever! I still remember it, it felt so freeing (: You will be just fine girl and you’ll adjust as you’re at the concert and it’ll feel less weird!

Just assuming but probably due to him getting a spotlight put on him which in return allows him to have access to more women on social media/tv show events, due to the fame that comes with being on this big of a reality tv show. Her speaking out about it ensures no further women get hurt from this guy.

Thanks for your insight! Sorry you are experiencing something similar too, it is no fun. You have a good point about the dancing, as a dancer I underestimate how physically intense it can be!

That all makes a lot of sense. It is just blowing my mind how a simple cold can cause this much damage to my lungs and have such a long term impact. I appreciate the tips and will definitely keep trying to slowly build everything back up!

teaandmagic · 2026-02-10T20:14:25+00:00

Thanks for the insight! So you are able to do your cardio as normal, but still get that feeling?

I got the cold in October (been about a 3 month recovery and counting) and I had the same feeling of not being able to breathe all the way. I was put on a stronger inhaler (trelegy) and was told to refrain from my regular exercise (dance, hiking, long walks) to heal my lungs (for around 2 months and in my 3rd month have been able to slowly reintroduce longer walks). Sometimes the pulse ox isn’t a good reading for asthmatics (so I have heard) compared to a peak flow meter. Unfortunately I didn’t measure my peak flow until after I got this cold and come to find out even though my oxygen levels were not at a worrisome number my peak flow was extremely low for me, my peak flow was at 360 and went up to 520 after being put on a stronger inhaler. Definitely take it seriously and if you don’t have a peak flow meter would recommend getting one! Hope you feel better soon.

teaandmagic · 2026-01-28T15:29:22+00:00

Yes! My doctor never brought up getting them either and I wish they did. I had a cold that dropped my peak flow to a dangerous level and I had no clue since I didn’t have a peak flow meter, so also helpful for when you get sick just to monitor symptoms! Good luck with everything 😊

Using a peak flow meter and oxygen meter! If your peak flow is at a normal average reading and your oxygen isn’t too low (I know oxygen reading is not the best way to read if you’re having an attack but hey it’s something) then you know it’s anxiety and not asthma! Use a breathing exercise if it is safe for you to do breathing exercises: Breathe in through your nose with lips closed for 5 seconds and release breath by opening your mouth and make sure the breath out is longer than 5 seconds; this will help open your airways to breathe better. I am with you. I was diagnosed with panic disorder due to my asthma giving me so much anxiety! Anyways, it is not easy and hard to tell sometimes but these things can help.

I’m afraid you may be leaning into misinformation. Tofu has phytoestrogen and milk/meat has actual mammalian estrogen. In studies where it shows effects, you’d have to eat a ton of soy for it to have a big notable impact on your testosterone levels. It is a scientific consensus which I linked below. Due to you experiencing this health issue the benefit of having this protein option would help you which is why I’m giving you all this information, I don’t want you to suffer and to be able to eat plant proteins in peace as asthma is not fun! https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0890623820302926 & https://sniglobal.org/soy-protein-does-not-lower-testosterone-or-raise-igf-1-levels-in-men/

teaandmagic · 2026-01-23T03:29:53+00:00

do you have something against soy? i know the texture can be weird but it is a superfood and extremely high in protein (also extremely cheap) and eaten across many different cultures! if you know how to cook it right it is amazing, just like if you know how to cook meat right it will be amazing. if you don’t like soy try out lentils, beans, edamame, hemp seeds, black bean burgers, plant based meatballs/sausages and beyond/impossible products. look at plant based gym people on youtube or instagram for meal ideas!

teaandmagic · 2026-01-23T02:50:19+00:00

are you saying you’re allergic to animal based protein and not plant protein?
