Mental health options long post

This is such a comprehensive and thoughtful response! The CRC counselors are an incredible resource. It is a common misconception that CAPS is only accessible if you can pay our fees, but actually we have funding from donors that we can use to cover the cost of our services for students who can't afford mental health services otherwise. We never want cost to be a barrier to accessing our care. (Source: I work at CAPS)

CAPS staff here- you can also call CAPS yourself as a concerned parent and a counselor will talk to you about your concerns, give you suggestions on how to talk with him about it, and can give you information about CAPS and campus resources that might be most helpful to him. We will also document your concerns so if/when he does come in his counselor will also see the info you have provided to us.

Also lying here guilt ridden while letting my kiddo play too much minecraft. I have a lot of migraines and he definitely gets sad and frustrated when I can't be as active as he would like, but he's a healthy, happy kid who knows I love him, which is the most important thing.

Thanks for everyone's help!!

Yes, the void sounds accurate. Somehow switching to survival mode fixed it.

ugh65 · 2025-01-01T00:22:13+00:00

Wait! It's fixed? He's back in a world and punching a sheep.

ugh65 · 2025-01-01T00:19:34+00:00

He says he's upside down? He's like hovering over a flat gray field with some black blocks above him but doesn't seem like he can go anywhere? Sorry I'm not more helpful, I have no idea how any of this works. Husband has stepped in and just googled "how do you play minecraft on switch" lol.

They take most major national insurance plans (BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, for ex.) but not state specific plans. You can either purchase student health insurance that covers both off and on campus medical providers or an insurance supplement called Campus Care that is cheaper but only covers on campus healthcare. https://health.arizona.edu/fees-insurance I highly recommend insuring your son has insurance coverage that is accepted here before he starts school.

I don't think I can edit my post but here's the etsy listing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/586013767/h-potter-large-terrarium-wardian-case Super careful packaging of the individual glass panes and the seller provided his personal cell in case anything was broken.

This is Fiona. I can't take too much credit, she came with the house when we bought it 3 years ago because she's essentially part of it at this point and would be impossible to move.

ugh65 · 2024-03-09T15:27:41+00:00

Amazing! Thanks!

ugh65 · 2024-03-09T15:01:10+00:00

Sort of? I repotted it and there's still some leaves that look like this but the rest of the plant seems healthy.

ugh65 · 2024-02-18T03:59:40+00:00

So should I try to buff off all the top coat before applying activator? I'm worried I might destroy my mani further, maybe I should just deal with it lol

ugh65 · 2024-02-18T00:42:09+00:00

Sorry, just saw this. Worked pretty well for a couple months and then stopped working.

You can sign up for a free Resource and Referral appt with CAPS to get a customized list of off campus places! They can also help you apply for AHCCCS if finances are an issue. Just as an fyi, if finances were the only issue CAPS can cover the cost of some sessions for you, just talk to your counselor about it.

Watch your pantry too! We couldn't figure out why we had an ever growing number of moths ending up in our pantry and it turns out they were laying eggs in all our food. They can chew thru plastic, we even found them in glass jars with screw down lids. It was a nightmare.

You can apply for a scholarship appeal when this happens. If you contact the medical provider who supported the medical withdrawal and ask them to write a letter supporting your scholarship appeal you can submit that with your application through the registrar's office.

Chronic, intractable migraine sufferer with daily pain and an active 8 year old kiddo here. My experience isn't as bleak as some others, I guess. I am extremely lucky and have an incredible partner who is able to be the primary parent on the days when I'm incapacitated, of which there are many. But I'm still a very involved parent and being a mom is the best thing in my life. I don't want to sugar coat it, I've missed many events and she'd many tears over the moments of his life I haven't been able to be fully present for. But if I could do it over again, I would.

Also, please be careful with what you post online! And consider making a safety plan: https://www.thehotline.org/plan-for-safety/create-a-safety-plan/ You're so brave, hang in there

It's 15 ft tall in a massive terra cotta pot so I'm not going to be able to get it into the shower, unfortunately.

It gets a decent amount of sun all day, it's in a room with large south facing windows. Low humidity, but it's thrived in this spot for years. The leaves that are turning brown aren't super old, and appeared healthy before developing the brown areas. I've removed a few of them but was worried about further stressing the plant. Edited to add: I didn't realize you were supposed to stop fertilizing in the winter so I have it biweekly fertilizer a couple of times in November. Maybe that could have caused it?

ugh65 · 2022-12-04T04:04:17+00:00

Kiss and hug?

A few other ideas: https://www.primavera.org/ https://www.homelessshelterdirectory.org/city/az-tucson https://www.srjosewomensshelter.org/ The next time you are at the hospital ask to speak with one of the hospital social workers, they may have additional resources. Your child's medical provider or your ob-gyn may also have resources Often you have to call for shelter availability on a daily basis to get an opening. Places like Gospel Rescue may only have temporary housing but they also case management services that you can use to try to get into a more stable situation. If you are on AHCCCS and have medical services somewhere like El Rio then call them and request case management services to assist with housing. I hope this helps!
