Geriatric Occupational Therapy

Terrance Said:

Gerontic/Geriatric occupational therapy?

We Answered:

there is no specialty areas in Occupational therapy schools, you have to go into the OT program then specialize in geriatrics on the job.

Giving up is never the answer for any problem you have. You should have more pride and dignity than to give up and be thought of as a failure. Stop giving "everyone" else the power over you to determine how and what you should be. From the above comments you have some writing skills. You made perfectly clear your wants. By the age of 19 I had three children and 1 drowned in the bathtub. I was smacked around and talked to like a piece of crap. I didnt finish high school and had 2 kids to take care of so trying to get back to schoool was laughable. I was stuck in a terrible cycle for 7 years. But one day I heard someone say, people that let others control them will be just that, controlled. I started choosing to like me. Choosing to be smart. Choosing to walk around the block and smile and say hello to everyone I passed. After a while of this when I walked by people smiled and said hi. I know you have had it hard. But there is NEVER a reason to give up. Why give your control up to "feelings" to people who dont mean anymore in life than you do? As far as wanting to be someone other than yourself. Well most people, if asked think that they have huge flaws that they wish they could change about theselves. We as a society have become so obsessed with the idea of perfection we forgot that NO ONE IS PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How would you handle it if people have thoughts & perceptions of you that are not to your liking?

I'm not a busy-body,backbiter or slanderer,it arouses aversion and disgust.I'll go face to face or fist to fist with any obnoxious ba$tard defaming my character.But i avoid it all by choosing dependable friends,i've got their back and the've got mine.We have a code strongly adhered to and those that try to disrupt it suffer the consequences. Your life sounds like a cake walk compared to what all of us have been through,so bury the self pity. We have lost dozens to over dose,gunshot,knifings,bike wrecks,car wrecks,prison,etc.It's been a 'nightmare' for all of us and were stronger for it!

Hi do you really want an honest answer? I feel you need a hug and to know what Loving your self would accomplish, You sound very cynical and intimidating to me. and you don't need me telling you off ,you do a very good job your self. I can't solve your problem you sound very articulate and insightful. one thing I like men with a bold head it doesn't bother me .most men just shave all there hair off. I know there isn't any or enough support for the mentally ill unfortunately, its really a study of hit and miss, a lot of people have had a horrible up bringing in different ways, I found forgiving was a start to healing for me. Only you can help your self no one is going to pick you up and dust you off any more .You have to do that for you. I have a disability and I am a carer for my son he gets treated in a similar way you say and people are afraid of him, but to me after 10 years of him being in and out of hospital ,now for one and a half years he is in recovery and to me he is beautiful. any way you can write to me any time for a friend if you want. Take care You need to do a lot of changes God Bless and write me about it ok....Big hug for you....
