Hey everyone,

Help please.

Just curious what job accommodations you've been successful with? I am feeling extremely burnt out.

For reference I have mental health diagnoses but the most prevalent are anxiety, OCD, PMDD, and depression. This makes it very hard to manage every detail on my caseload and I feel like I am constantly doing something wrong or failing. Yes I am very aware that this line of thinking aligns with my diagnoses but it can be debilitating.

I can technically work a flexible schedule but depending on who you talk to this is mixed too. Like some people will say yes just get your billables in, some no you need to stay by a set schedule.

Problem is, I need the money so dropping to part time isn't an option. What have you had success with?

Hey all. Anyone here work for Nekton Autism? I was lightly researching and saw some promising positions.

1. Are they truly fully remote?

2. What is the billable hours expectation?

Hey everyone.

Just wanted to share my experience with Prozac. I decided to switch about 2-3 months ago from Zoloft. Zoloft worked for me for years, but then I just felt like it wasn't doing anything for me anymore and my anxiety kept spiking. I felt very depressed. Also I gained a ridiculous amount of weight that didn't match my lifestyle and current activity level.

For context: I have GAD, OCD, PMDD, trichotillomania, depression, history of trauma, likely CPTSD(still being evaluated), and likely ADHD (still being evaluated)

Disclaimer: I am also in therapy and we are working through a lot of stuff too.

I advocated for myself to switch to Prozac. There was a week that I needed to titrate down from Zoloft and effectively had nothing in my system. That was ROUGH. Thankfully I had hydroxyzine to help with panic attacks as I had significantly more during this period.

Then I started on 10mg of Prozac. I did have a tiny bit of stomach upset, anxiety and panic attacks still persisted. Intrusive thoughts still persisted. Depression still persisted. Flashbacks still persisted. I was feeling very defeated but my psychiatrist said that Prozac has a longer half life so it does take longer to build up than Zoloft, but it stays in your system longer. So I kept going.

A little over a month ago we upped it to 20mg as my body was tolerating it very well. The food noise faded, and I started to feel...lighter. I was able to stop and think, recognize my intrusive thoughts as such, and actually use the coping skills we are working on.

Then 2 weeks ago came. I found myself able to face difficult situations with a clear head. Even very triggering topics of conversation have been less so. Sleep was never an issue but my quality of sleep has been a thousand times better. And truly it just keeps getting better. I don't any longer have this period from 12-3ish pm daily where I need to take a nap from being beyond fatigued. I can enjoy things. I am laughing more. The tricotillomania is slooooowly fading. I can breathe. I can actually focus on work.

I cannot guarantee you'll have the same outcome, but it was absolutely worth the risk and I wish you all peace on your healing journey ✨️

Hey everyone,

I'm curious if BCBAs or if anyone in leadership roles had feedback of working for Attain? I am pretty sure they're located around PA, DE, and MD.

I've heard they have very low billable hours and that it's a very flexible schedule with very high pay. I feel like it's too good to be true but was looking for some real input. Thanks in advance!

Hey all! Anyone have recommendations of graphic novels i can get on kindle? I do NOT like horror or creepy books, very much need slice of life/lighthearted/ easy reading graphic novels. Thanks!
