in reply to @shel's post:
i don't think i ever got to suicidal in my depressive episodes but the point of learning "if shit sucks do what you can to change it even if that means breaking a commitment" rings pretty loudly
oh boy, sound track to my life. i catch myself saying it loud enough others might hear sometimes. I will try this.
I often make a little beat out of it where it's like I start the thought the same but I emphasize the replacement word so it's like badabaDUH badabaDUH and then it just becomes noises
I don't often have this kind of problem but I love this strategy and I might try this kind of redirection with kids I work with in the future, if that's okay
also I cannot stop thinking da share zone voice: Real Winners Quit! and I hope that's okay.
like okay yes I'm a professional but like
i'm in one of those jobs were u get taught how to do 1 thing
but then you are also expected to do a LOT to teach social skills/provide emotional support/know how to do a therapy because LIKE FUCK THIS INSTITUTION WILL PAY FOR MENTAL HEALTH CARE for kids
so that part of my job is moreso self-taught based on growing up a neurodivergent queer with disabled/queer/ND friends.
ah, similar to how librarians are not trained to be social workers but we are expected to do social work without training and i am basically just drawing upon my own experiences filing for welfare
ding ding! (also thank u for being a librarian ur job is very cool and important.)
This... this puts some words to some feelings i'm having, recently... And maybe also some answers...
