Can you speak more on academic validation and how ADHD can affect and influence that?

2025-04-09 09:45:16 +0000 UTCWhat does it say about me if I have a huge crush on a random trombone player at my school who’s three years above me? I’ve had one conversation with them all about becoming a drum major like them when I’m older, but I follow them on instagram and think about them more than I should… Is that wrong?

2025-04-05 12:12:39 +0000 UTCi am a social work student working with clients for the first time in a therapist-adjacent role. i was placed in a supportive housing group focused on harm reduction (we’re housing first). I’m working for a pretty small team (5 people, including me) and servicing a lot of clients (60+ people) in a wide variety of areas. It’s more field work than you typically see in a social work practicum and I am SO grateful for the opportunity. I love the work and I really believe in the program we are setting up. However, I am finding that it’s incredibly heavy work. The populations I am serving carry some really intense, painful traumas. And as an American right now, it is exhausting trying to navigate aspects of our healthcare system while working with a non-profit, especially given the current administration. My question to you guys, as more seasoned practitioners, is this: how do you prevent burn-out early on in a human-services career that limits your ability to talk about what you are seeing/hearing due to confidentiality?
