Pmann wants to talk mental health

I don't necessarily agree with that... I've had therapy from both licensed psychologists and MSWs, and the latter have been much better, imo. And I would love to do an MSW degree someday myself, so I've looked into them extensively. I'm not sure what a clinical MSW program has that a program for licensed psychologists doesn't. What are the differences that you've seen in qualifications? (My therapy experience is all US based, though I've looked at MSW programs in Canada & the UK as well.)
Interesting you say that. I'm currently going for my bachelors in Human Services and plan to go for my Masters in Psychology. I would like to do relationship coaching for people with disabilities, but focus more on caregiver support. I'd like to do counseling for people who are caring for an aging relative or have a child with intellectual and/or physical disabilities that will require life-long care.

I've talked to a guy who has a MSW and got some good information from him. I wanted to supplement my learning with several graduate certificates.
 
Being a person with BPD, I've definitely been having my share of irrational thinking, some intrusive thoughts.. Plus, started a new SSNI med that seems to be testing my mental health...
I have great support, but I have quiet BPD so I never voice the real crazy thinking..

I love so much, so hard. My favorite person is sooooo amazing and has been since we met.
BPD is constant Black or White thinking..
Fear of abandonment, but little irrational thoughts manifest into greater intrusive thoughts...
I get manic highs.. And instant lows..
(Yes it sounds like bipolar.. It's a bit different)

Anyone with BPD, just knows, it's semi manageable.. But there's no cure, no magic pill..

I've mentioned before here that I have BPD and bipolar 2... Both can be horrible alone, bit it's rough having both..
I will say for anyone interested, medications and therapy DO work.
I don't know if there's a such thing as mental illness remission... But I'm kinda going through it lately.
It's been months since I've had depression or BPD episodes...
I wish I could say it's been years, but I just got my antipsychotic increased last summer, which made a world of difference.
I also decreased my stress last year by eliminating toxic people from my life.
Just found this from EXACTLY 2 years ago to the date...
Yeah, it's a rollercoaster 🎢
 
Been a rough week. A lot of struggles.

Sorry to hear that. Most things are temporary, so hopefully it will pass soon.

I’ve never experienced anything like this. But I cannot imagine that constant swing of emotions. It must be difficult to cope with but it seems like you are aware and that’s more than a lot of people do.
 
I think we’d all be a little happier if we just had some more boobs in our life.

This is the Lit equivalent of someone in your every day life saying, “Don’t worry about it; it’ll get better.”

Sorry to see there are so many struggles here. Life sucks sometimes.
