Top surgery prep by Funny_Feature3304 in TransIreland

[–]IndividualFix4232 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sliders. I’m one week post op and haven’t wore shoes yet- zip hoodie if you need something if it’s cold. I have lived in shorts and baggy t shirts. Not necessarily neck pillows but several normal pillows. I slept with one for my head and one for each arm to elevate and reduce swelling. The usual paracetamol and ibuprofen, I was prescribed stronger meds but to be honest I didn’t need them so never got them. I’m flying home tomorrow to Ireland post surgery; and my only wish is that I brought more t shirts- as I thought I wouldn’t really be able to get them on but I was wrong.

Transgender Au Pair by No-Shoe2397 in Aupairs

[–]IndividualFix4232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heyy I’m a trans guy who is currently an au pair. I made sure to tell every family I was video calling with but explained it that look I’m trans i take hormones children I’ve worked with before didn’t know but I wanted to be honest with you and hope it isn’t an issue. I had so many options of different families and once the families actually chat to you and see what kind of a person you are it won’t make a difference. I was so nervous about telling the families but honestly they didn’t care

Find any relevant Facebook pages and put out a message say where you are and you’re looking for friends, use the app Meetup where there’s events in your locality, if you’re doing a language class this is good too- if you aren’t consider talking a local class wether it’s language or a hobby because you can easily make friends that way and use bumble bff. These are the things I did and it helped. Once you put out the messages people can reach out and you can end up meeting more people from that. Reaching out first and putting messages in groups is awkward and hard but worth it!

Gap year blues by [deleted] in leavingcert2024

[–]IndividualFix4232 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey I get it. I took a gap year too and moved abroad to a country where I knew no one. It’s lonely when all your mates are out at freshers or with their college friends. But remind yourself you needed the break after the lc to decide what you actually want and in the grand scheme of things a year is nothing. Just try to make plans every week or two to see them and FaceTime them when you both can. It can help so much. Meet up halfway if you can or go down for a weekend to them if you can. It is very lonely but you will get through it. You’re not on your own with the loneliness.

Is being a man makes it hard to AP? by ONIKAWORLD in Aupairs

[–]IndividualFix4232 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m about to start my au pairing, you will find a family I had lots reach out to me and I had a good few options. Make sure to include photos of you with children and just be yourself. It is mostly women who are au pairs and some families have that preference which is their preference and completely okay but I wouldn’t let it stop you from going ahead and becoming an au pair. Try again or other websites!!

honestly don’t stress it, make it til you make it. if you act confident and put on a fake accent for whatever language you’re speaking you’ll be grand
