It only felt like yesterday when you were rejected from your masters, jobless with a psychology degree, and having the post-uni blues. Now look at you go!! A mental health support worker about to begin her masters in a few months. Couldn’t be any prouder right now!! 😊💕 I’ll always be watching your videos throughout your journey to becoming a Psychologist. It’s gonna happen. ❤️
Literally so inspiring to young people out there showing that you can be successful in psychology/mental health. I'm a teacher and I can tell you public service work can be so hard!
Please dont stop doing these vlogs. It feels like im watching one of my friends, youre so lovely xx
So happy I found your channel! Always look forward to your vlogs! Really enjoyed this video! I wish I was half as motivated as you are, you have your shit together!!!
Thank you lovely!! Doesn’t feel like I do 😂
You do such incredible work Selina! love your honesty and take care of yourself x
Thank youuu ☺️
This is so helpful for me to ! Thank you love for showing your routine and day in your life ! I'm a youth worker who does 12 hour shifts 9:30am-9:30pm and by the time I get home I'm exhausted to ! Great tips xoxo
I fully look forward to your videos every Sunday!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
well done for your continuing professional growth girl!!
Aw thank you!! ☺️
i use to be a disabilities support worker now i’m a care assistant. it’s not easy especially as it’s usually 12 hour shifts but deffo worthwhile. good luck with everything x
Thank you x
Do your managers/coworkers know that you vlog? Also I admire how nice and put together you look going to work, I work with animals and constantly look a mess😂
I can definitely relate to stress-induced break outs due to work! You look amazing as ever though ❤️
It’s so annoying isn’t it!! Thank you ❤️
Your videos are honestly the best, but look after yourself and only vlog/make videos when you're up to it xx
'If I go in like his, I'm gonna scare the patients'. You actually make me die Selina!
Hahaha real talkkkk
I’m a neuropsychology rehabilitation ‘ nursing assistant’ now recognised by that and not a support worker 😅 13 hour shifts are alright not as bad as I thought it would be. I started in November 🤯
Hi Selina , I am currently in the last semester of my psychology degree and I love watching your videos!! Your work ethic really inspires me and I always feel motivated after watching your vlogs ,keep it up gal !! Xx
Thanks so much!! Best of luck finishing your degree xx
Do you work on a children's or adults ward? It's so interesting watching your journey as I'd like to do something similar X
I really liked you video-very insightful. I'm starting as a mental health support worker soon so this was helpful to watch- Thanks :) P.s. you're so pretty

Very good content. Keep up the good work. Work can be very stressful sometimes.
What time does your shift start in the morning and how many days off do you get a week?
Great video. Looking good as always. Please take care at work and stay safe💖
Thank you lovely 💕
i love you, Selina
Aw that’s lovely thank you!
urban outfitters don't charge to return in my experience! the receipt comes with a free postage label but idk if they've changed it :o also omg i died when you sprayed that stuff in your hair loool, loved this vlog! so interesting to hear about your work!
So cheeky!! Hahaha you have to be soo careful with that dry shampoo. Thanks girl 💖
i know you're not really allowed to talk about it in detail but i'm just curious as to what ur tasks are as a mental health support worker. do you mostly tend to the patients, do you handle their medication or do you do a lot of admin work..? or all of the above?
dubbie yess could u do a whole video on this. It would be interesting to see
I can do a video about it! But yeah pretty much what you said minus their medication as that’s the nurses responsibility
dubbie my experience was very stressful. You deal with alot of patients who are mentally ill and not in the right set of mind
I watched the dry shampoo part about 5 times, made me die 😂
Looool my forehead was patchy the whole day
Try the pop chip one that arent corn as they are the best I love them! X
this is not the video i thought it would be.
I love mini moo chocolate bars. I would like to see what is involved in a MH support worker.
An MHW’s roll is to monitor a patient who is not in the correct state of mind. They are put on some sort of hold after being evaluated by a psych dr. A 5150 is a 3 day hold for a person that is suicidal, danger to self, danger to others, hearing voices etc. it goes to 14 days if needed and 30 days if needed more. If the patient also has medical problems and is 5150, they are cared for in a hospital that specializes in med surg psych like mine. We make sure they do not leave their room, we assist the nurses in administering medication and other things that need to be done and last but not least, we use force to subdue a combative patient, AKA “Pressing ham on anyone who tries to test us”. It’s fun, you definitely need size, strength and the ability to throw someone and or body slam them.
Don't you have to wear scrubs?
Your parents copying you hahah literally my mum and my aunt 😂😂.
As someone else mentioned below would be super interesting if you did a video about your job role xx ❤
Loool they just wanna be me so bad x
Yeah I defo will do that video 🥰
Are you working with adults? X
Pretty sure that sushi you ate was egg :/ the one that you weren't sure what it was and your friend said was tofu, it's actually like a slice of Japanese omelette, called tamago nigiri. Just wanted to let you know for future ref ! x
Yes it did contain egg! My cousin ordered it for herself I didn’t have any x
Hey babe, I’m doing a career change and would like to become a mental health support worker... having already gone to school/college and uni- doing different courses other than health related stuff - what qualifications / experiences could you suggest or advice me to do x hope you see this and reply x
I've just been offered a job as a mental health support worker I haven't done any formal qualifications as I the company I applied too gives full training on the job and you earn qualifications, there's loads on indeed etc
I do have a lot of personal experience with mental health tho just not formal qualifcations
I'm currently trying to like this same job but absolutely hate it so far. I'm usually up for a challenge but the stress is so extreme. I come straight home from work & sleep because I'm exhausted then right back to work. No quality of life working this job 😏
What ward are you in? I’m planning to try for a therapy/rehab ward and maybe in bank instead of full time since I’ve never done 12 hour shifts before and it’s most likely going to be a lot. I can’t imagine how bad it is now cause I’d covid but a mental health ward looks the most draining
You are very brave doing such an emotionally difficult and potentially dangerous job. Take care. Regarding your craving for chocolate, when i get stressed, i become deficient in magnesium and i crave chocolate. Maybe take a multivitamin for a month or so to see if you have the same issue?
Thank you ☺️ ooh that could be it actually! I’ll look into that x
Is this job more stressful than essay/revision pressure at uni? Love this vlog
You can’t compare the two, it’s such different types of stress!! Thank you x
Where did you find the application form for this role?
I found pretty much all the jobs I applied for on indeed x
@@SelinaOzay thank you!
omg the weeknd is the SHIT, u must book his tour
Why don’t you start a depop account. Honestly it is so easy, just post your items and people contact you if they want to buy, especially if you go to the post office alot, it will be super easy!
That’s such a shout 😂
I l i v e for your channel, honestly you give me life👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks hun!! 🥰
Selina Ozay hope you’re settling in well❤️
"My skin has gone to shit from stress" - Me: wait, that's not just a normal daily occurrence? xD
Anyway, thank you for sharing your experience! This was really helpful as I am applying to become a support worker.
Im pretty sure you spoke about 1% of work the rest wasted time on clothes watching netflix and other useless info
I knew never cleaning out my closet would be worth it someday *digs out crispy white Champion hoodie bought ca. 2002 not worn since at least 2004* I'm cool again, kids!
Hello, is this is the g7 mk ii or iii?
Mark ii
um... your mum???? I thought she was a cousin or sister Masha Allah
Lol I know, she’s genetically blessed!
Where is that Vegan place? Love you
Haha just seen don’t worry about answering x
Abercrombie charge £9 to return by post I mean wtf I had a nasty surprise
That’s criminal!!
Hi Selina, I was wondering if I can interview you via email for my career development class! I am interested in pursuing a Mental Health Worker (or related field) and would love to interview you!
Ive been watching love is blind too. Im rooting for Cameron and Lauren everyone else can do whatever they want. and totally agree with what you said about the weeknds new music, I just preordered his album off iTunes and im vibing to it at work while researching about sewage treatment plants lmao
Omg giannina does my head in!!!
@@SelinaOzay yes! her and her parent are low-key toxic cant see them lasting all
HAHAH INJECT ITTTT
95% of the video talked about herself. I was expecting a video clip of her at work. What a waste of time !!
Because I am the main character sweetie
first x
it isnt your job affecting the gym, its your diet.
Ok carnivore x
@@SelinaOzay you stay in denial if you like but one day you will see it.
You wouldn’t last a week as an MHW here in California. Count your blessings.
Why is this generation so VAIN?!
She is so VAIN, I am really struggling to watch this. No one cares what you're wearing, there are more important things in the world. The constant hair flicking, checking herself in the mirror, pouting her lips, so self obsessed.
Lol 😂 why are you even watching this then? No need to be nasty about her x
@@kestrel636 Because I wanted to know about the life of a Mental Health Support Worker! But most of the video is just vanity!
Calm down there crazy most of her videos are like this and regular viewers watch this so she’s catering to us wonderfully touted being as too hostile
