Advocate for yourself and hopefully they will adapt. If not, time to move on  |
This is a really good point. If you know what you want out of it, and have voiced that, it should be pretty clear in a short while to know if you're heading in that direction. One of my biggest problems is
not knowing what I want or expressing it. Any more concretely than "just to make it through", that is.
When I kind of
do figure out some stuff, I realize that it's not always the same thing. Depends on where I am and how much I can deal with. Partly, it's nice if they have the perception to pick up on that to some degree, but the other part is that they're not mind readers. Which brings us back around to voicing it and seeing how that proceeds.
Resident Bipolar gives some really good things to look for.
