Academic Speak

Hey! I keep getting feedback that the style of my writing is a bit too casual and not detailed enough. I have all of the necessary information and explain each area of the assessment but they describe it as brief.

I have seen ss. My recent feedback is that I am being more technical in my wording, but now I am struggling with conciseness (I am wofting on to make it sound more technical).

Does anyone have any advice? I am not much of an academic. social work. Thanks.

How to turn off feeling ‘Emergency mode’

My trauma has been over for quite some time. I feel like I cannot live in the moment, every time I do something that should be a celebration, I am already stressed about the next task. I feel like something is constantly going to go wrong, and that I need to rush to finish ‘just in case‘.

Bipolar 1, Lithium and Kidney disease.

I have been on lithium treatment for years, it has been the only medication that has been able to curb my mania. I have tried other mood stabilisers, ECT, antipsychotics, ect ect. Nothing made me stable like lithium.

I’ve just been diagnosed with severe kidney disease. Psychiatrist 1 wants to take me off it, I refuse. They said I am signing my own death warrant, but I am not crazy in that I’d rather be stable and die, then be unwell and die anyway? I wouldn’t be compliant with ANY treatment if I was to stop my lithium because I wouldn’t be on this planet, I’d be off in la la land. I would die anyway. The only way I’d be able to comply is if they locked me up (which is a similar circumstance I’ve had previously) and for long standing treatment, what kind of life is that?

I asked what the alternative treatments were that they’d recommend, and it was all medications we’ve tried before that had no effect.

Psych 2 (same centre) said it’s my right and that they’ve had clients with end stage kidney disease still on lithium.

is this something I am doing the right thing about?

Online Student

Hey, I am an online student. When I enroll, am I able to enrol in classes in person too or must I only enrol online? I’m really struggling with the online 24/7. Thankyou.
