zrek - ok yeah the idea that you use the degree you earn in a 1:1 match with your job on the outside is a huge myth. I studied languages and barely used that in my job despite having gotten a scholarship to study it, because it's not about the specific skill that made it valuable--it's the exercised ability to reason, plan, communicate, and expand your horizons that gives a degree its value. for that reason college can be a great place to explore what might spark your flame, but it does take money rather than give it in the process. so then you need to consider however much debt you may be saddled with, and whether or not you can apply to or have scholarships, before 100% committing. college definitely isn't for everyone but that's ok

Void - Yes that is simultaneously true. When I struggled with depression I would say it was more difficult to create a basis of coping skills in the deep of the dark. Sometimes the brain chemicals are wonky, just because they are due to genetics or uncontrollable factors, but I see them beyond this situation as an indicator there is something going on causing that imbalance.

Gladius - I have enrolled at one for the fall, I don’t think I need to pick a speciality necessarily to be good at it, but rather want to ensure if I am going to spend 4 years there that I am learning a skill I will use later both for financial support and for purpose. I still have the option to defer if I choose to do so by June. I am just debating whether it is better to accept I won’t know and using college as kind of that place to experiment and try different fields, or do that separately first.

you may be right, but i feel like mental health is tricky, specifically because therapists only know what the person tells them. in order for therapy to be successful, patients must open up and be vulnerable, which isn't always easy, and can also lead to the "band-aid" effect. of course, there are some therapists who don't care, but i would argue what you have described stems from patients as well

Well, people donate money to food pantries, not just food. Food pantries usually have more buying power than individuals so donating money is always good. And that is how you get paid. You set up a charity, and you get paid, and you run your pantry.

<_> Except using medication alongside cognitive therapy is a mainstay to teach the person coping skills while they're emotionally stable

Eve - that sounds more aligned with me. I would think it might be difficult to make a living from at the same time? I do not want to do something like that to maximize profit of course, but still have enough to focus on it without running out of my own supply for needs.

Void - there are definitely still places in medicine where the root cause is addressed. I was referring to for example, someone having a mental health issue (not one where they have a predisposed genetic factor of course, that requires medication) and rather than trying to figure out what’s causing them to have imbalances and addressing the underlying issue, band-aiding with something that masks over the issue itself and makes it feel as if it was gone, but later realizing the core problem still presides.

let me ask--are you thinking of going to college, and think you need to pick a specific specialty or study to be good at it? because it's completely valid and even a very good thing for many people not to immediately go into school, and to just learn to navigate the "real" world and see if you find something that speaks to you. yes it can make it more difficult to go to school in some cases, but it can also offer a lot more maturity and experience to bring to a schooling scenario when you know you really want to do something
Gaelic Gladiacres
03:47:06 Gladius
zrek - that's certainly a risk, of course, but all the therapists I've worked with I've been very lucky to have ones who deeply, genuinely care for the wellbeing of their patients, and make the system better as much they can from the inside. without good people in the systems, the systems will only ever be "bad"

Basically anything. I always love a bit of country romance. They can meet at a rodeo they're both competing at? I do MxF and I can be either character

Dakota sat down in her final class of the day just as Mr. Tealman, the english teacher, spoke up. "Alright class, finals are coming up and since you're all seniors it will be a breeze this year. For me at least. Grab your laptops and a pencil, we're going through this final segment of the module before starting studies for finals." He turned to his own computer as the class obeyed and Dakota pulled out a pencil. Mr. Tealman posted the assignment on their computers and Dakota immedietly began her work, finishing just before the bell and shoving her stuff into her bag. She bumped into a guy as she walked out the door. "Sorry" She muttered and briskly walked to her truck before getting in and driving home.
