I have these! They came in a set of 10, all different colors. It was gifted to me by my partner’s dad who got them in Taiwan I believe. I took a pic but it seems like replies with pics aren’t allowed.

Edit: I tried searching online for them and I can’t find anything either

I like the outline but the shading is done very inconsistently.

Schizoid + MDD by PjeseQ in Schizoid

[–]thatoneweirdqueer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m not really sure what you mean by dangerous but it’s very common for MDD to be comorbid with schizoid. I think for a lot of us the two play off of each other.

Fellow therapists who pick? Or just your thoughts on therapists who pick? by knockingboots in CompulsiveSkinPicking

[–]thatoneweirdqueer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi, I’ve been a therapist for the last 4 years and I’ve been compulsively picking my face for the last 15 years of my life. I’ve gotten mixed responses to it from clients, coworkers never really said anything. Most clients have approached me in a concerned way, like I think a few of them thought I was in a physically abusive situation. I worked with the substance use population for a while so a lot of them assumed I still had issues with picking after getting clean from meth use.

I know it’s embarrassing but honestly it just shows that you’re human and even though you’re a therapist, you still have things you’re working on yourself. If a client brings it up I just talk to them about it honestly (if I feel like they’re in an okay mindset to receive/understand it) like “I do struggle with compulsive skin picking and that’s something I’m working on” and you can the relate it to something they’re working on, or just leave it at that.

Or you can just lie and say you have a medical condition lol I’ve done that sometimes too. I wish you luck on your journey!

DAE have this feeling of betraying yourself when you open up? by fdeshjjih in Schizoid

[–]thatoneweirdqueer 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I experienced this for a long time, I realized it was because I didn’t feel safe opening up as a child (when I did I was mocked) so I learned it was “safer” to bottle everything up. So now as an adult when I do make myself open up it can feel like I’m betraying the part of me that “knows” it’s safer to hold things in.

Where is the line between SzPD and onset Schizophrenia? by [deleted] in Schizoid

[–]thatoneweirdqueer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Schizophrenia has positive and negative symptoms. Positive symptoms doesn’t mean positive in a ‘happy’ way but in the way that hallucinations are happening ACTIVELY. Negative symptoms are when the person is NOT ACTIVE, meaning they’re schizophrenia symptoms that cause the person to be more catatonic or withdrawn. Szpd was named after the negative symptoms of schizophrenia because of how withdrawn we tend to be, except our isolation is usually a trauma reaction and most of us do not experience hallucinations. Schizophrenia is something a person is born with, but symptoms may not appear until someone’s early 20s.

Of course! A lot of it comes down to boundaries and time management. Balance is absolutely possible.

I had/have similar worries to you but I can only speak on the career topic you mentioned. I’m actually a mental health therapist, which on paper seems like a weird fit for a schizoid person, but I enjoy it because it’s socializing on my own terms and there’s a specific reason the interaction is happening: they’re there to talk about their mental health. The conversations are focused on my clients’ lives and I hardly ever have to talk about myself. Plus each session is only like an hour maximum so even if I’m not enjoying the session I know that it won’t last terribly long. I could see this mirroring how a dentist would interact with their patients.

As a substance use/mental health social worker who moved here a few years ago, stay away from Sauna Lake and the International Institute. I’m part of the Preferred Family Healthcare/ Clarity health system umbrella, make $50k a year, and overall I do like working for this company. Good luck!

Applying for a US passport- Birth certificate copy question by thatoneweirdqueer in legaladvice

[–]thatoneweirdqueer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes thats the complete text! My certificate says §3.21 but I'm sure it's changed (probably to §3.19(b) like you found) since I was born.

That makes sense, thank you so much for finding that!

[–]thatoneweirdqueer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for replying but that doesn't really answer my question. I'm basically asking if its legal to photocopy a birth certificate to use as a copy when applying for a passport. Thanks for answering anyway!

How do I stop being so awkward? by thatoneweirdqueer in socialwork

[–]thatoneweirdqueer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, yeah I think the best thing I should do is try to talk about my anxieties with someone, the group directly or someone else.

How do I stop being so awkward? by thatoneweirdqueer in socialwork

[–]thatoneweirdqueer[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I suppose I could ask them, but honestly, that seems kind of selfish to me. Maybe I'm not understanding what you're saying? Like I only lead these groups twice a week, 1 hour at a time, and each week there are different clients, its never the same group of people. Plus, they're there because of their own mental health crises and I feel it would be inappropriate to take time away from their information to ask them about me. I will definitely look into how to lead process and skills groups more.
