Move With Time 🌻

in february I failed my lsw exam by two points. probably the most discouraging moment of my life. I invested so much money, time & energy just to fail by two points. I felt pretty fucked up after that. my baby left for the eating recovery center the day after. things were pretty rough.

allie and I have been back together since november. things have been really great. she communicates, validates, and has come to recognize things she needs to work on. she has also taken accountability for so much. I helped her navigate going to treatment. she’s been in denver since feb 25th. it’s been a long month, but I am so proud of her progress. I never thought I’d see her take this step. not only is this good for her, but I know it will be good for our relationship. I think her mental health and her eating disorder affected our relationship for a long time. she is very motivated to love and help herself these days. she’s leaving for php tomorrow and will be there for at least another month. could be longer. missing her hurts, but her going to treatment is all I could ever ask for. 

I was recently offered a therapist position at a private practice. so incredibly thankful for this opportunity. I have had no clinical experience since I graduated with my masters last may and I failed my license exam, but she was still willing to give me a chance. after how depressed I’ve been, I finally feel like my life is falling into place. the only downside is that I have to stay in scranton longer than I’d like. I’ve been eager to move to philly for so long. definitely upsetting that I won’t be making the move once my lease is up in june, but this opportunity is exactly what I need to build my resume and get the clinical experience I’ve been looking for.
