my sticky note wall of small achievements! this is something my adhd coach had me make because i tend to dismiss small achievements and only focus on what i couldnt do. looking at it actually makes me feel a lil happier ☺️
1. A lot of therapists offer what is known as a sliding scale, which means that they will work with you to set a price that works for you. There is no set formula for figuring it out– but they’ll ask you how much you think you can pay and maybe how much you make. You could get up to a 50% discount, maybe even up to a 70% discount, on treatment.
2. See if your job has an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), which can provide you with short-term mental healthcare, referrals, and financial assistance.
3. Reach out to therapists you’d be interested in seeing and say, “I’m curious if you have any pro bono slots open right now. I’m really motivated to do the work, I just don’t have the money. Is that something you’d be open to?” It might take some trial and error to find someone whose answer is yes!
4. Your house of worship might have options. Pastoral counseling– AKA getting counseling from a trained minister, rabbi, priest, imam, etc.– is usually free and another thing to look into. Most counselors, if not all, will be members of the American Association of Pastoral Counselors, so they will have proper training.
5. Look into nearby graduate schools or teaching hospitals, which usually have clinics where trainees see people at a reduced rate. The people training to be psychologists, social workers, and family therapists have to get on-the-job experience. And if you’re worried about seeing a trainee: not only are they getting training, they will also be supervised by someone who’s licensed.
6. Consider group therapy or support groups, which are cheaper or free. Support groups– which are kind of like group therapy, but with an emphasis on education and community– are a low-cost or free option. Look into: NAMI, SAMHSA, & 211.
7. Utilize short-term crisis lines and long-term peer counseling services (which are free, from organizations like Project LETS.
8. Most therapists take on a number of clients for free, so don’t be afraid to ask if they have pro bono spots open. Every licensed clinician has an ethics code that they adhere to and part of that ethics code says that they’re supposed to provide some of their services free of charge as a gesture of goodwill.
9. If you’re a student, take advantage of your free campus resources– then ask for a student discount elsewhere when you exhaust those.
10. The Psychology Today Therapist finder is a great resource to find providers who offer a sliding scale– just mark it on your search settings.
I’m constantly torn between the ‘be kind to everyone’ and the ‘fuck everyone you owe them nothing’ mentalities
Do no harm but take no shit

I JUST GOT THIS ON MY TABLET IT’S SO COOL OH MY GOD
for some reason it refused to recognize the third page of my letters but they were all pretty unnecessary mathematic things anyway so I’m not too worried. still something to keep in mind though, I hope it doesn’t happen for you!
paintfont.com would be a good place to go to quickly make a custom font for your comic!
ehh
It looks just as horrible in real life..even worse with the letter attached…
I’ll try this later.
you can also use alternative alphabets
Welp. Guess I know what font I’m gonna be using for comics from now on. B)
Welp. Looks like I have to do this now. So I can use this for Tengri’s asks.
For some reason there is no apostrophe in my set, but it still looks cool.
NEAT THING ALERT
The site is now called https://www.calligraphr.com/en/ but it’s basically the same!
GONNA DO THIS.
Sigh
(072817) had a fantastic week with @intlstudier‘s birthday, little mosey exceeding all expectations, a good book (the hate u give), and some crazy productivity in lab as a result of avoiding working on the paper ;)
my entire life changed when my dentist told me that the only time my teeth should be touching is when i’m chewing. every single time my teeth are touching i have to separate them. and i noticed that i clench my teeth a LOT.
when your mouth is closed and your teeth are touching or held tightly together, you are unnecessarily straining muscles out of stress. the healthiest way to hold your jaw is slightly apart, where it is relaxed. THIS HELPS WITH HEADACHES
Walter is my cousin’s dog. He really has a thing for swimming.
that was a religious experience
me
I’ve never seen a butt-mounted camera, but damn, this dog knows where he wants to go, and goes there fast.
His little ears flopping in he wind
THIS IS THE QUALITY CONTENT I WANT TO SEE
when you don’t do a warm up and go straight into lineart and your hand does the thing
Thats a sign of inflammation of the wrist called carpel tunnel . I had surgery because it got so bad I couldn’t draw anymore.
Yikes D8. That’s why it’s so important to do stretches and draw with your whole arm (ok, arguably hard with a tablet versus a big gorgeous easel) and etc but I forgot today bc I am a moron and it was great
?????
people warm up to draw? like… how?
not an artists but climbing hand and lower arm exercises;
trying to find more and better diagrams for other stretches but yeah it’s super important if your gonna be using your arms a lot.
Adding this important video for all the artists out there, take care of your hands ♥
