Trying desperately to quell my nerves ahead of my first and only interview tomorrow 🥲 doesn’t help that I have to be up at 5:30 to get there on time mind you ☹️

[Eleanor @Eleanorpsych]

@PritiMenon85 Thank you!’

[Eleanor @Eleanorpsych]

Also I forgot to update I applied for Lancaster again this year despite their deductive reasoning test because clearly i enjoy pain and I came 5th on the reserves which I’m so shocked about

[Eleanor @Eleanorpsych]

Reserves for Newcastle which is low key annoying as I have been on their reserves for 3 years now what do they want 😭 I don’t have the highest hopes for Leeds but I did come back yesterday from New York so you win some you lose some

I’m a trainee clin psychologist.
I also take an antidepressant & antipsychotic daily for my mental health. If anything, my experiences & unique perspective mean I thrive in the field & am just as capable as anyone else.
Mental health clinicians get sick too. We’re still human.

@JCallenDavies Yeah it’s really difficult to know how I’m doing! Thank you! I find the scheduling ones weirdly the hardest so I’ll keep that in mind!

[Eleanor @Eleanorpsych]

Has anyone got any tips about the interactive deductive reasoning test? I’ve done a lot of practice questions/ tests so much so that I think I’ve seen all the questions so now I know most of the answers by heart so it’s no longer a test and I don’t feel I’m getting any better

[Eleanor @Eleanorpsych]

I’ve talked about how much I hate “manifestation” and how easily it can slip into victim blaming and “why didn’t you just manifest things to be better for yourself?” but also this lmao I think it can so harmful

There's a form of OCD called "magical thinking OCD" that causes you to be hyper-concerned with your thoughts... lest they accidentally "attract" the wrong thing. "Law of Attraction" shit did this to me when I was younger.

Your thoughts should be a safe place.

Every year I apply for the doctorate i feel the £40 fee smack me in the face and the immediate barrier to the profession that goes against all the preachings of diversity that’s on every course homepage
