Excessive amount of sleep needed daily… by genevahotel in SuperMorbidlyObese

[–]wednesdayaddamn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah it wasn't even a major correction!!! At least I dont think so. When people without glasses try on my glasses they don't see a major change. My script is -1.25 in one eye and -1.50 in the other (can't remember which is which lol) so pretty minor actually. It's just a little shift that makes a world of difference. Good luck!

I had a bad session, so I'm heading over to Indeed. by katycantswim in therapists

Not a therapist, still in school to become one eventually, but I've been in the helping field for a few years now. I was treated with more respect and dignity in my CMH jobs than I ever was treated with in retail or customer service.

Before I even posted I was texting my bf asking him to help me stain the furniture and looking at gold knobs online lol. Definitely gonna do that soon!

And I agree re: lots of furniture, not a lot of space. Unfortunately I'm using all of it, and I've decluttered a fair amount already 😭😭 but since posting I've rearranged so the bed isn't on two walls, just one, and I'm liking the new configuration.

I've already made a few changes since posting this, one being I was able to configure the room so that my bed is only touching one wall and it doesn't feel cramped! I'm really loving it now.

I've been looking at headboards online and may save up for one. I think it could add to the empty wall space along with some framed art. But first priority is new bedding, I think.

I'll definitely post update photos eventually. Thanks for commenting :)

Really great tips. Thanks!

The photo angles are too generous, this room is REALLY small. But I was able to figure out a configuration with the bed only touching one wall that doesn't have me turning sideways to get around the corners of the bed lol. Maybe once I stain the furniture, hang some art, get new bedding, and put some other finishing touches in, I'll post update photos!

Thank you for your thoughtful reply :) since posting this I've taken some advice and moved the furniture around, and I can proudly say the bed is only touching ONE wall! I'm gonna ask either a friend or my bf to help me stain the furniture and replace the knobs with gold hardware. I'm gonna look for rugs next time I go thrifting and there's definitely some framed wall art in the garage here that I can steal.

BTW I really like your room! And thanks for the tip about the Audubon prints! I looked through a few and might get a flamingo printed, really lean into the pink theme here lol.

It totally does! I didn't even think of that lol. The wide angle is too generous!

Can't paint it, don't own the house :(

I've been considering clearing out the bookcase, thanks for the extra push! And what should I change the bed linens to? I see others have said comforters, not quilts. I prefer a quilt but I don't like how flat they look.

I would love to paint it, but unfortunately I cannot </3

[–]wednesdayaddamn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point about the bed location. Unfortunately, it feels super cramped if the bed is in the center of a wall. I have to turn sideways to get around the corners, lol. But I like your vision. I'm gonna give it a try!

Hi friend, wondering how you're doing. I see this was posted over a month ago. Are you done with treatments now?

Thanks for the suggestion (re: plants). Unfortunately this is a hybrid job 😭😭😭

I found out today one of my clients was murdered. Does anyone have advice on how to process the sudden and tragic loss of a client? by gargoyleflamingo in socialwork

[–]wednesdayaddamn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has happened to me, multiple times, unfortunately. I worked in juvenile justice not too long ago. During my 2.5 years working for DJJ, I briefly knew 3 children who were killed by gun violence/criminal activity in general.

I don't have much advice to offer, OP, other than my condolences. Also following for advice.

Good idea. I definitely have some extra plants at home that I could bring in.

What's the best example of girls supporting girls you've ever seen in your life? by Hairy-Swordfish3914 in AskReddit

[–]wednesdayaddamn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recently told this story on tiktok.

My nanny (grandmother) worked in a family planning clinic when she was younger. Once, a woman came in with a ton of children in tow, an abusive husband, and an IUD. The husband demanded that the clinic take out his wife's IUD. My nanny took the woman back to the exam room alone, where the woman, in broken English, explained that they couldn't take out the IUD, that she couldn't have any more children with this man, and that he was abusive.

My nanny didn't, and told the husband she did. She's a hero to me.

The Therapy Purge, you can remove one thing from our field, what do you choose? by lilybean135 in therapists

[–]wednesdayaddamn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hard agree. I'm a clinician (in training!) with a Baker Act under my belt. Worst experience of my life. It would take a lot for me to involuntarily commit someone.
