Has anyone ever added ear tabs to a hairvivi wig before? Or does anyone recommend a brand similar to hairvivi but with ear tabs?

I need some prayers.

I’ve been with my boyfriend for two and a half years- we love each other very much and he is my best friend. I feel so called to this man, he is such a blessing in my life.

We both want to get engaged and we both want to get married and honor God through our marriage and other areas in our lives. Unfortunately, I am still in school (I work, but I don’t get paid super great), and he doesn’t make enough to support us both on one (and a half (mine)) salary. The job market is tough, and he’s looking to get into technology soon. We have been preparing ourselves for marriage in other areas of our lives- some areas need more work than others, and other areas have matured. We both have our challenges, but we are working through them so we can be the best versions of ourselves for each other.

I am struggling because I am growing inpatient. I want to be married to him ASAP, but my ASAP is not Gods ASAP. I am so sad that we have to wait. If anyone has any stories to share about having to wait, please share. It feels so far away. If anyone else has felt this way before, I could use some advice and prayers…. I just feel sad.

Does anyone know of someone or somewhere I can find a tutor for psych stats asap?…

Hey- the title sounds exactly like what’s going on.

So I’ve had a cartilage piercing for about 7 ½ months now, and it’s been healing fairly well.

Last month, I got two stacked piercings on each of my lobes (so four total.)

My piercer had me wait to get stacked piercings because my helix wasn’t in a good spot yet- but when it was doing better she pierced me again (stacked piercings.)

So far, the healing seems to be fine. My cartilage is doing fine, but the swelling is going down a little slower than it has in the past after a downsize. The new stacked piercings are fine- sometimes there’s mild irritation but that’s it.

Is it really a big deal

Helix : 7 ½ months
Shape and metal : titanium flatback bar
Downsized : yes, has been downsized twice
Aftercare : spray twice daily with saline
Minor unfortunate events: last week I was tossing and turning a lot.. getting super light sleep.. woke up on my helix piercing a few times (no bleeding, no crust, just a little swelling and it went away quickly)

Stacked lobe piercings: 1 month
Shape and metal : titanium flatback bar
Downsized : no
Aftercare : spray twice daily with saline
No major recent unfortunate events for either except I ran out of saline spray so my piercings went without saline for a day ½

I keep seeing this brand pop up on my fyp. Has anyone tried one of their wigs? Are they worth it?

I’m a rising junior and I’m studying developmental psychology and I’m minoring in ABA. I’ve been working as a BT for 7 months and I earned my RBT a couple weeks ago.

Assuming that I will finish my masters degree in 4 years and get my certification around then, do you think I’ll be cooked? The field is growing rapidly. Will there still be a need for BCBAs at that point?

Does my new cycle start from my full bleed to full bleed or does it start with spotting right before my period to the end? Example: Day 24/1 : spotting Day 25/1: light to medium flow Which day would technically be the start of my new cycle?

I really don’t know what to do. If you saw my post yesterday, it got more complicated.

My supervisor is working at three different centers- she has 1 full time job, and 2 part time jobs (one of them being at my company). She must be so burnt out. I feel for her.

Anyway, she ended the session early and had me leave with her (session was supposed to be 4 hours, lasted 2). She and my new clients dad agreed that our session would be from 3:15-6:45 and not 3:15-7:15. That was not what’s on my schedule, and that also was not on the first session email. I was gonna mention it to her after the session but I approached her about our phone call yesterday (last post) which distracted me.

I told her I wouldn’t be able to make up future sessions when my client goes on vacation, and she said I don’t have to. My company says we do. She said the company wants you to but I don’t actually have to.

At our first session, she handed me materials and didn’t tell me how to use them. She said she would train me later. When I tried asking questions, she told me to just look through the materials and it would be self explanatory… side note: it wasn’t.

She is also passive aggressive in person. Not just over the phone.

I’m worried this will fall back on me. Me adjusting the schedule, not understanding the can materials, no guidance on her note-taking preferences, the session ending 2 ½ hours early (wasn’t made aware that would be happening).

I’m really overwhelmed. Would it be wrong of me to ask my other supervisor for guidance (approaching it professionally with no biased language/names)?

Am I wrong to be confused? Am I supposed to be prepared for all these things?

For context: I’ve been working as a BT for 6 months and just got my RBT certification activated today. I am a college student, and I just started working full time this summer.

I added on a new client to my schedule. The BCBA reached out to me acknowledging that we will be working together, and sent me her phone number saying “call, text, email me at anytime”

With my first ever client, my other supervisor and I scheduled a time to call, and she told me about my client and gave me some info about her bsp, maladaptive, goals, personality, etc.. That was so helpful, and I figured it was standard procedure for my company (I didn’t know any better). It was great to learn a little bit about my client before starting- so I knew what I was getting into.

Anyway, I ask to schedule a call with my new supervisor. Today comes, and she calls me. It is important to note : I have been studying so much, managing several appointments for my health, taking and making phone calls for various reasons, scheduling and rescheduling appointments/meetings, taking my exam, working, etc. I’m feeling discombobulated 100%. At my company, anyone who has ever scheduled a call with me has called me at that time on the dot. I figured this was very intentional and a thing employees do at my company.

Anyway, my supervisor hadn’t called me and it had been 4 minutes, so I emailed asking if 3 was still a good time. Looking back I totally 1000% understand how it looks, but I am so burnt out it didn’t register for me in the moment. Anyway, she calls me around 3:06, and I joyfully say that it’s nice to finally connect and I just sent her an email. Anyway, she got really annoyed, and responded in such a way. The rest of our call was very unproductive. She spoke to me in a demeaning way in several occasions, spoke over me, etc. I was trying to learn more about my client, and she was bothered by it. I was not made aware that this was her first session with my client too, and that the existing program for my client is not up to date. So before the call, I looked at his program, so I could ask clarifying questions about the data collection. That did not land well, and she was annoyed, telling me I shouldn’t have looked. She definitely misunderstood me at several points- one of them being I mislabeled something by saying “I was looking at the data point” and instead of clarifying if I knew my mistake, she got really upset and told me I’m not supposed to do that (I am FULLY aware of that). I was hurt because in the 20mins we called I didn’t get to speak much, so I didn’t get to correct myself. I don’t remember her exact wording, but something she said implied my request to call was a waste of time (for lack of a better term).

I learned that she’s new. She’s clearly under a LOT of stress. If I was in her shoes, I would feel the same way. I do feel hurt after our conversation, but I feel sad that she is stressed and that’s probably why she acted in that way.

My first time meeting her in person will be tomorrow. Should I bring up our phone call? I sort of want to clarify some misunderstandings. I don’t want her to think I’m trying to do things out of my scope of practice (that I would NEVER do) or trying to “take control.” She was concerned that because I wanted to ask clarifying questions that I wanted to get involved in things I’m not supposed to.

Should I talk to her? I understand she’s stressed so I feel bad, but I was also spoken to unfairly- and I want to redeem myself.

Is it compatible? Do you like it?
