#I am a virgo too

[mueritos]

its crazy how coming into clinical social work, i really just thought I was up against systems and cycles of trauma....but it turns out i'm up against those two things AND other therapists. the amount of work spent correcting mistakes from other clinicians--whether with clients or during the classroom--is fucking crazy.

i totally get we're all on different journeys in terms of being clinicians. but it is insane finding out day after day of therapists and clinicians saying the worst things ever to clients. demeaning them, telling them "it's all in their head", the racism and the ableism and harm that is caused. like no fucking wonder people are afraid to seek therapy (on top of the accessibility issues). while i'm a little biased and think that at the very least clinical social work training focuses on viewing people within their environments (so not engaging in the medical/individualist models of practice that a lot of counseling programs focus on), that doesn't mean it gives every person the skills to be an effective therapist. i'm also not saying i'm the best clinician ever--I'm literally in training--but boy! it is jarring seeing how some of my peers interact in class and wondering...is that how you are with your clients??

my social work program at the very least also has a focus on anti-racism, but i know students from other programs and some of them don't even mention racism AT ALL and focus entirely on diagnosing people "correctly", or finding the perfect form of therapy to use on a client. but man, what none of these programs teach are basic life skills. wanting to be a clinician isn't enough, especially considering that an inhumane amount of people in my program are 1. so nervous about making mistakes that they lose scope of their practice 2. have so much internalized racism/white guilt to work thru 3. or they have absolutely no listening skills.

again, im not trying to make it seem like I am the number 1 clinician in the world ever. I don't even have a psych background or bachelor's in social work. my reasons for going into social work are quite selfish (I want a job that is very flexible, easily transferable, and can be done in different contexts), and the helping people part is just a plus. i'm just saying it's very jarring seeing other people in training and realizing they too are working with clients. i have conversation after conversation about these issues with other BIPOC/queer/marginalized clinicians, so I know i'm not the only person worried about some of the people that will be out of this program in a few years practicing on their own or with vulnerable populations.

#muerto talks #just rambling #maybe im just a hater virgo with a strong sense of justice #i am just forever perplexed #learning that some of my classmates believe that you can be racist to white people is crazy #learning that some of my classmates are rude and dismissive to BIPOC students but they work in BIPOC communities #learning that some of my classmates weaponize their mental illnesses as an excuse to act shitty to professors classmates or clients is craz #there are zionists??? trying to be social workers?????? #i literally have classes with zionists #some people r doing a whole ass career change because they had a spiritual calling to help people?? #again not saying im such a great clinician im in training just like the rest of my program #but you cannot like tell me to even try to be hopeful about some of the people who will be my collegues in a year #because i have no hope for them #and its going to take making serious mistakes for them to maybe snap out of it #and that fucking sucks #nothing in my body feels safe around those people #like idc maybe im an elitist with impossible standards #maybe im the one asking too much from these people..... #the cognitive dissonance is real in these people man

pisces/virgo placements... it's about time you took care of yourself, too, ok?

you burn yourselves out allowing yourself to be pulled by so many people in all different directions. you exhaust all your resources and empty your cup - no, your entire well - to help those around you, even people you don't know. it's such a beautiful thing, and i know you genuinely love helping others, supporting people, seeing them thrive. it's such a beautiful trait! but you constantly end up neglecting yourself, right? you don't realize that you have permission to set aside time to care for you, to cater to your needs for once. you often feel like no one puts a drop in your cup, the favor is never returned - it's exhausting; you might think if you just keep giving your all it will come back; i understand. you will find the people that give the same energy back to you one day, but regardless of whether you've found those people yet, you need to learn to step aside and fill your own cup!

setting boundaries and saying no is the most important thing you will learn to do in this lifetime. it will not be easy for you, sometimes it will feel painful. but you cannot help the world if you're constantly drained and tired! you deserve to take care of yourself in the same way you do for others. be gentle to your kind soul, nourish yourself; do the things you love to do. learn to worry about others less, as hard as it is, and focus on yourself more.

left work half an hour early to go home and sit on the floor of my shower and cry like a total idiot about the rising tide of militant & unchecked homophobia. feel bad for ditching my coworkers but i did not want to burst into tears at work about how the government of my home state is trying to make it impossible for me to live, just kind of tmi for the deskmate &c

#tmi for the tumblrinas too probably but we are all friends here! #irredeemable whining #i love my job but i hate this. i hate it. #homophobia [generalized] cw #also i am literally fine so. cant help being a virgo or whatever it is the astrologies say #living in my deadly body #fake transing for clout

#sorry virgo fans but the libras win this one #< i am neither of these signs btw #gemini's and libras are compatible too #rubs my hands together evily #ask #txt

One thing about me I'm insane and it's a problem to everyone

#virgo talks #lmao #cuts everyone out of my life because the noise in my head became too loud and I feel bad for keeping them in when they get nothing from me! #genuinely sorry bout that but uh #what's done is done #though if they reach back out I'll let them back in but I am!! Constantly afraid of existing in other people's spheres!!! #Yay : ) #People who loved me the most have all turned their backs on me and now I live with a perpetual fear of creating close bonds #because exposing my heart means leaving it open for new bleeding wounds! #And I'm a machine made for love so you can probably understand how that mindset goes against my very programming but alas!! #Pain is hurt and hurt leads to solitude which leads to lonelines if left to fester for too long! #I'm ok btw just felt a bit silly lmao

#ooc. #i started writing a few things tonight but i have not been feeling super hot #i've got a mix of teeth things & cramps going on #i am however sorting through my inbox / deleting things from blogs that are no longer active! #i will eventually finish that inbox call but i am not in a huge rush since i know it will still be there when i have energy #bcs i probably spend too much energy picking out the right memes to send #it's called the virgo disease what can i say i am a particular dude #anyways this is just a ' i am not dead or inactive ' update #i have been putting what energy i do have towards other things & I'm not sorry for this At All #my mini tumblr breaks definitely helps me avoid burnout #this one has given me time for reading & Minecraft which has been good for the soul #anyways im rambling the point is: i am working on things again #slowly but surely as is my way #tbd.

started replaying dragon age 2. how cringe would it be if i started going by hawke online again

#i missed da2 so much and it immediately knocked me back to 2013 #i was a hawke kinnie once upon a time. i know like 5 other people who were too lmfao #anyway. probably won’t do it. kinda embarrassing #hawke is just very relatable to me #and i’m replaying it now bc i spent christmas struggling with the mortality of my dad and grandparents #and i know when my mum finally does die. i will be devastated even if im nc with her rn #and i know. because of how leandra’s death fucks me up everytime a little. that i will not be able to play da2 for a while. #now i don’t think my mums dying anytime soon. but i am a virgo moon and i live to overthink and prepare #if you read these tags im sorry you’re having this window into my psyche rn #slate.txt

I glued tiny strass all over my eyes, why do I still have social anxiety?

#virgo dream talks #i relate to dream of the endless because I too am dangerously attractive and have social anxiety

[asmallcafethatslove]

No but why are Virgos so insufferable sometimes

#i am a Virgo myself but the way they are so …. contradicting it’s hilarious #was talking to a friend and we argue (lovingly) way too often that my friend calls us the same person but different flavors #other friend *

[seaofechoes]

At least these are done... I have a hard time deciding on their zodiacs though so their pages might take a bit... 

#for ruhn i am thinking either libra or sagittarius but there are also leo traits here and there..... i could have him be all three but #which would be the sun and the moon and the rising.... #for hypaxia i am thinking either virgo or taurus... i can see a cancer somewhere too #and for aidas..... scorpio or aquarius.... maaaaaaybe a splash of pisces somewhere too... CHOICES #but anyway imma play AGAIN AC Odyssey cuz idk have gotten urges #ooc [ 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 & 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐮𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝𝐬. ]

i'm like going insane rn okay like i stan idols based on how pathetic they are and silly. but i'm currently watching jisung videos again for a gifset and iforget sometimes how fucking smart he is like it actually is scary to meejdhdjdjd like first of all HE CAN FREESTYLE. on the spot. that alone is like. how. how. and then i watch him just effortlessly do his little skits on weekly idol and it's like. how do you not mess it up HOW DO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO SAY how is his mind operating so quickly how is he so GOOD at this .... i started stanning because he said moms spaghetti and had a sailor moon phonecase now you're telling me this man can do a backflip and solve a rubiks cube at the same time all while hitting a whistle note

#then again. it's kinda funny. i know jisung is smart and talented it's crazy but i think he puts too much on his shoulders he always is #doing the most and i know some people are naturally like that I AM LIKE THAT but i hope he knows it's ok to. relax. like didn't changbin #say something like that too. it makes sense to me because jisung is perceived as so loud and charismatic and HE IS but then you see his #vlogs and it's like. baby your social battery i see you need to recharge for like 3 days straight. IT'S OK #you can relax ..... YOU CAN I PROMISE YOU mister virgo....... i need his whole chart so bad

Ma: *calls at almost midnight and shares stories about her unreasonable colleagues on the 1st day of the company trip overseas*

Me: (after the call) *sends a cat with a "Fighting!" sticker on it*

#i am once again reminded why i explicitly refuse to go on company trips regardless that most expenses are paid #i get why the colleagues were being *coughs* borderline paranoid *coughs* #but if you’re going to another country and safety is your concern you should take precautions too #like getting some devices. door stoppers. camera checks. just something #am sorry this is why i either travel solo or go with people who i know what they will be like when we travel #because i know me and i know i would snap in this situation #and this is like day 1 out of 11 for my mom lmao #god speed mom suppress your inner virgo. you have motherhood as an additional experience #I'm an introvert and have low patience for these situations so yeah... 👀
