No, Social Bunny does NOT cause corruption - The Sims 2 Special NPCs - April Black

From video description:

I took a deep dive into the world of NPCs in The Sims 2. Today we'll have a look at NPCs that - unlike universal NPCs - have character files, but have been rumoured to cause neighborhood corruption: Social Worker, Unsavory Charlatan, Human Statue and others!

Being a social worker is by far the best and most rewarding job I've ever had, but HOLY FUCK is it crazy that I just like, listen to people's worst moment and then basically havw to be like "I hear you, I see you, you are valid. Let's get through this and then like, go eat a sandwhich, okay?"

And like, that actually fixes the imeddiate horros. Like, someone giving you kind words and reminding you to maintain yourself. Crazy shit.

“I used to be a little boy…so old in my shoes….”

“The bitterness of one who's left alone….ooh, the years burn…” (“Disarm” by The Smashing Pumpkins)

My bestie Miri surprised me today with this beautiful drawing of Severus, who’s gifting his mother some flowers for Mother’s Day (which takes place today in Germany). She knows, that I have an immense soft spot for Sevy in his younger years. He triggers my inner “overprotective goddess of revenge”, who wants to save this boy from harm at any costs.

Thinking about Severus and his hardships of his childhood and teenage years, makes me realise, how much I miss my job since I’m struggling with ME/CFS. I’m a pedagogue, who used to work as a social worker at the government office for youth welfare…and damn, I’ve seen a lot of terrible things. And yet, I still miss my professional self…with all my duties and responsibilities.

I hope, that one day, I’ll be able to look into the mirror and see this woman again….the intelligent, interesting and caring person, who I’ve been before this disease made me become nothing else but this shadow of myself.

Thank you so much for this amazing artwork, my sweet friend! 🖤🥹

Today was visit of new social worker. Previous one was just "fill-in".

Mum and Dad do all the talking downstairs. Then Dad come upstairs ask if I feel up to go down and say hello. I am tired today so I say no, but he suggest social worker (name Fiona) just pop into my room for a minute to say hello.

So we did that, she was nice and a bit loud but that's okay because she didn't have a bad smell. The perfume made my room smell different for about 10 minutes but then it faded.

(When I say bad smell it doesn't mean body odour, it means any strong perfume/cologne/bodyspray/deodorant/hair product or other smell that is "loud" and hurts my head and eyes. My sense of smell is very sensitive.)

I have more things to update, two very very big happy news things!! But not energy for more words right now, and want to properly explain it. So I will make a proper post for each news tomorrow 😊

FELLOW NEURODIVERGENT FRIENDS HELP

Does anybody know any good resources for neurodivergent caregivers? I am in a situation right now with social workers and hospitals and phone calls and housing issues and I am struggling. And it occurred to me others may be struggling too.

So if anybody has been in a similar situation and knows any websites or programs that can help me, who can barely care for myself, take care of someone else, let's share them here.

Much love and appreciation in advance ❤️

Teacher Zoe 👩‍🏫

In my Criminal Case AU, Zoe is no longer a social worker but a kindergarten teacher, also she and David are no longer together because the new Police Chief is married to Heaven (my OC) and they have a son named Delsin. But despite this, Zoe has remained on good terms with her ex-boyfriend and feels no hatred or resentment towards Heaven (spoiler: it was Zoe herself who convinced David to declare himself to Heaven :3).

Being a social worker is all great until a client looks straight at you, desperate and crying and asks:

"How do I stop hating myself so much?"

And the only thing you can say is: "I don't know."

You know, that's the thing that's shitty about this job. We're supposed to have all the answers, that's why you come to see us. That's why we're here. But truth is - we don't know shit.

Like, I'm crying myself to sleep more than I am not. Because I feel useless and like a waste of space. I don't know how to stop feeling like that.

But all I can do is try to help by pretending that I, in fact, do know.

this is oskar. he's very important to me. i got him from my social worker when i just started having a social worker. as a person who's m*ther never accepted the plushie/toy hobby it made me feel loved, seen and accepted. it made me almost cry when i opened his package. also i love plushie bunnies 💗🐰

I slept better last night and don’t remember any fucked up dreams so I’m relieved. Hopefully it continues to improve throughout the month. I start training on the floor as a social worker at the hospital on Monday and I’m so excited and nervous. Just got a few pixie pants at old navy which actually fit well so I’m feeling better about the clothes aspect. Gosh I hope everyone is nice!!!! I wish I could skip ahead a couple months until I feel more confident about my duties and charting etc. but spending time learning is also important. It’ll be nice to be able to observe how other social workers work bc as a new grad, it’s important that I absorb as much as possible. Eek! So excited!
