moodboard for this past week ❤️

#they should invent a grad school thats not fucking insane #i'm hanging in there but im the most unwell i've been in AWhile #this week was just horrible #there was already the freezer food incident but it also started off with a very severe pain episode thats putting me in constant woe #even mundane motion has been agonizing which is McAwesome bc we had a lab inspection which involved moving hundreds of pounds of equipment #during which we found a blackwidow and rats which we had to deal with and was a whole thing psychologically on top of the physical toll #the new class fiasco is still popping off and i had to respond to at this point over 400 emails in the fleeting moments outside of lab #AND A STUDENT TRIED TO FINANCIALLY BRIBE THEIR WAY INTO THE CLASS ? ?? ?? ????? #then the instructor wanted to use me as a guinea pig and i had to test new circuit boards but I wasnt given any time to do so properly #i had to test them plus get them operational and deal with my incoming students all in a frantic 10 minute window #im in charge of running our meetings too but the instructor was interrupting and having side conversations that made it really hard- #to train the other people on the new equipment in a smooth manner #which meant that a bunch of people had to keep me after to ask questions which made me late for my drs appointment #where i found out i cant get the new covid vaccine bc my heart and blood levels arnt stable enough #and joanns lost an expensive+critical fabric order of mine+i had to give a big presentation this week on my research that was stressful #and my inbox is still blowing up from being needed all over the place between teaching lab and classes and yall i am. so so tired. #im in so much pain and so stressed out #debating the ethics of turning into a pile of lint to escape my responsibilities and mortal frame

IM GOING TO COLLEG!!!

so uhhhh yeah I'll hopefully still be here and still being doing stuff, obviously, but my schedule is probably going to be sooooooo whack and theres a high chance stuff won't come out at anywhere near the rapid pace I was going at previously so um yeah sorry about that

IN THE MEAN TIME!

I HAVE MADE A LOT OF SHIT!

AND I HOPE YOU WILL READ ALL OF IT WHILE IM GETTIN AN EDUCATION!

#if anyone asks im going into psychology #with the express plan of becoming a therapist once I get through grad school #it'll be alot #and a long process #but I'm more than ready #hopefully

[paradife-loft]

so this "ethics & legal requirements for research involving human subjects" course I'm doing for class rn hasn't figured out that you don't hyphenate "cisgender," and yet has still somehow heard of "trans broken arm syndrome" and wants to inform us about it being a source of distrust in medical professionals among some trans people. what's happening here....

#various factors in my life have coincided such that 95% of the content of this course isn't remotely new to me at all #(i.e. psychology undergrad & kink community) #but every so often it just throws a curveball without so much as blinking that has me going #'EXCUSE ME CAN WE BACK UP A SECOND AND UNPACK THAT??' #and that's approximately the entertainment keeping me going through it #(well that and the intonation of the person reading the voiceover whenever they say ''federal regulations'') #(because it's the exact same prosody as airplane safety voice 'federal regulations prohibit tampering/disabling/removing smoke detectors') #(so I guess that's now in my head the same way as grocery store checkout machine 'put your. PINK LADY APPLE. in the bag.') #.......well those tags certainly went off on a ramble didn't they #...OH YEAH RIGHT the holy shit unpack pls stuff has largely included like #''the police & justice department are exempt from these [previously described] regulations about ethical overview'' #YOU CAN'T JUST SAY THAT MATTER-OF-FACTLY AND THEN MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE HELLO #anyway. yeah. this is a time I'm having. #James liveblogs grad school #content is for other people

turns out that a one hour commute and then an eight hour workday and then one and a half hour commute home (the bus is often up to 20min late) does not leave a lot of time for other things, like sleeping or writing 😭

#the thing about new job is they're actually giving me Stuff To Do #which is psychologically very healthy for me - a person who wrote fic to cope with the existential dread of grad school #where I was somehow always stressed out by how much I had to do but never managed to do any of it #but oh do I miss being able to just zone out and write two thousand words of fun nonsense #as a form of procrastination #and my weekends are taken up by wedding planning and LAUNDRY and scheduling doc appts now that I have insurance

A lot of things have happened in my academic life in the last week. I gave my sessional tests, have only one left, which is tomorrow. Received the marks of my stats test. I got 9/10 in the first and 12/15 in the second. I know i could do better but this is nonetheless a very good performance considering i studied on my own and didn't attend any classes due to my internship. I also had a chance to attend a couple classes because I took leave from the office. Coming back to classes after almost a month is fun. I was really missing college. The biggest news is that i received my Semester 1 result and I got 8.82 SGPA out of 10. Which is pretty good if you consider my individual performance. However, if you compare to others in my class, not so much. I have a couple people in my class who received 9 and 9.18 and 9.36 so There's a lot of scope for improvement. I really introspected a lot today and thought of all the things i can learn from my friends who scored higher than me. Hoping to inculcate my learnings into my study style.

I’m listening to the older faculty try to explain OnlyFans to each other and this is why hearsay isn’t permissible in court

Getting really burnt out studying for this exam and handling my current classes on top of that but I’m trying to work a little every day to get it done. Anyone else feeling this way?

For people who moved out of state for grad school, did you change your residency to the state you moved to? Why or why not?

I’m moving out of state for grad school and have no idea whether or not I should change my driver’s license, license plate, etc.

(And this would not effect my cost of tuition since there is no difference of cost of tuition for in-state vs. out-of-state for the school I’m going to.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[an-over-educated-woman]

my chaotic-ass psych school family, the people i spend 50+ hours of academia with per week with, consists of

An emotional-support himbo who lets people win at arm wrestling because it makes them smile

Two women who will neither confirm nor deny that they are romantically involved- one an actual lumberjack, and one who is afraid of the forest but is the lumberjack's biggest fan

A man who's biggest financial vice is personally making sure all of his friends have eaten enough

Three disaster bisexuals, who are constantly forgetting to eat (much to the previously mentioned man's chagrin), dress like Tom Selleck in Magnum P.I, and have their heart broken every week by someone they met in the bar next to campus

A former English major who talks in riddles and is always having to apologize for not using an inside voice

A tiny but loud woman who somehow convinces everyone to go out for shots on friday, even though we all invariably regret it the next morning

A giant, soft-spoken man who I've never seen consume anything other than nitro cold brew

A pansexual powerlifter with full sleeve tattoos and insane eyeliner who intimidates everyone but is secretly a total cinnamon roll

A lesbian who falls asleep still in her business casual attire because "pjs are too much work"

a brilliant statistician who's first and only love is the formula for standard deviation, and is about to go deaf from blasting Beastie Boys while studying (she claims that it soothes her)

A mom of four kids who rocks power suits and purple eyeliner every day

all of them are tired all the time, and are talented aspiring researchers and clinicians. all of them are also total idiots (but in a really fun way).

Doing In-Person Psychotherapy for the First Time

For the past few weeks, I've been keeping busy with working on my hours for practicum. By the end of this year, I need to hit at least 200 hours of psychotherapy (as well as another 200 for assessment work) so that I can proceed to the next and (hopefully) final phase of my grad school: thesis. When I started practicum last semester, I felt really drained by the difficult learning environment, plus having to do a lot of work isolated from the others (literally and figuratively). I took a break from this semester to regain my mental energy I once had for psychotherapy clients.

Over a month ago, the mental health clinic of our school opted to open psychotherapy services onsite for students wtihin campus. Unsurprisingly, a lot of students did sign up for this and are now receiving their therapies in-person with their therapists (which includes trainees like me). I stepped into this same lane once I began opening this option up to my clients as well. One client has been very keen on seeing me in person as they would prefer seeing another person as they process their problems. I happily obliged to fulfill this request given that I too work much better when I'm not distracted by the quips of remote work.

True enough, the difference in experience was night and day. And I would prefer doing onsite therapy because for a couple obvious reasons. On one end, I get to see my clients (and vice versa) for who they present themselves to be. And I mean this not only in the physical way but also in a emotional way. A lot of what I find missing in remote tele-therapy is the ability to read nonverbal cues and other emotional expressions that a camera doesn't capture. I feel more in the flow with the client and get to "dance" with whatever things they throw at me during sessions. There's also the added value of just trying to be present with the client without making extra efforts to reassure them of this fact.

I also had to take time to ready myself and get comfortable with my clients expressing unpleasant or difficult emotions. I noticed that my clients feel safer crying and feeling their feels once we're confined within the same four corners of a safe space. Needless to say, I find delight - not in their suffering - but in the opportunity to create a safe space for them to just be themselves, feelings and all.

I guess the only con of working onsite is the travel and the summer heat. While I'm proud of myself for being on time for my clients' sessions, I can't help but still feel irritated about the "unpleasantries" of Metro Manila traffic, as aggravated by the summer sun. Inasmuch as I want to present myself as professionally (and also aesthetically pleasing way) for my clients, I have to be smart about what to wear and how to bring my belongings with the hassle of public transportation.

So far, my onsite work has made me realize that I could do therapy -- and that it's something I could develop much more once I get my master's degree. What I am looking forward to is when we fully reintegrate both onsite and remote modalities to interventions. But that's a different avenue of learning altogether. What I'm most excited about, actually, is getting to see a lively clinic again. I get to see more clients and clinicians, and feel that same vibrant energy I once felt in my previous job before the pandemic began.

In the meantime, if you ever see me in campus (if we are in the same school, or you just happen to be there), feel free to say hello.

Take care of your mental health, everyone!

If there is one thing that has convinced me that ADHD medication can save lives it's the way it made me aware I can enjoy things.

My particular mix of autism and ADHD makes me do things compulsively while not paying too much attention to them. Which means I work a lot, play a lot while just being there. Not really caring about it since I'm too distracted. And this makes everything I do just passeble. Everything is gray and just there. You know, not good or bad. It just is

Then my medication came in this winter. Suddenly I feel this new feeling while I'm writing. Because dear God I can write again. I can do my work quicker and do something else after. I can read a book and actually remember something. And all this is accompanied by me smiling and this weird feeling inside me. I can enjoy things

I mean this may be stupid but realizing this in the letter part of your 20s just hits like a truck

#autistic #personal #ADHD #actually autistic #sometimes i speak #take your meds #getting gour psychology degree doesn't mean you understand hos people work #or that its not normal to be okay with dying since its not like you sre really living #eh a pity that this winter also hit me with the worse SAD i can remember #curse grad school
