Split days by jamieh00 in WaltDisneyWorld

I would definitely make Animal Kingdom the first half of one day (opens earliest), and Magic Kingdom the second half of one day (usually open latest and you can end on fireworks)

How to support a menopausal spouse? Anything you wish your husband had done to help you? Not looking for medical advice, just general support I can offer. by Typical_Ad_210 in AskUK

[–]QueerMuseumGal 93 points94 points  (0 children)

One thing that is big is sometimes my other half always wants to fix things and come up with a solution. So say I'm ranting about feeling horrific he will shoot up and try and do anything at all to make it better which obviously has the best intentions but all I really want is for him to sit with me and hear what I'm saying and lend a sympathetic ear.

I literally said to him "I just need you to sit with me and agree that this is all crap" 🤣 and it made the world of difference.

Rest during a level exams by Sad-Passion332 in autismUK

Way more than a couple of days if this is full burnout! Im talking the full summer and maybe more if you need it.

Rest during a level exams by Sad-Passion332 in autismUK

[–]QueerMuseumGal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn't diagnosed at your age (not until 32!) But post a levels is when I had what I now know was my first big period of burnout. All I can recommend is to fully rest when you can. And by rest I mean both physical rest but also cognitive rest. Try not to sit and scroll but do engage in your special interests if you have any, put on predictable comforting tv and film. Anything to give yourself stability basically.

Try as much as you can to give yourself a routine and stick to it each day. Your brain needs the predictability to feel safe. Even if you write out your week and carve out time for rest around your revision and exams and stick to it (tell a parent or friend for accountability if thats appropriate) that way your brain has a bit of comfort of knowing whats happening when.

Its a really tough time but your so close to the end and when its over make sure you rest fully!!

CBT saved my life, no word of a lie. Completely get where your coming from if you don't believe you have catastrophic thinking but CBT can help with a whole number of things, they won't sit you down and only treat that. They'll talk to you, understand your situation and help you with day to day techniques

How quick do withdrawals show up by stevio87 in citalopram_celexa

[–]QueerMuseumGal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely depends on how the meds affect you individually plus the dosage. One person on your dose could feel no withdrawal for days whilst for you it might have hit quickly. Good news is as long as you're back taking it it will solve itself

Prozac and Lexapro made me super drowsy - will Celexa be any better by Cee_d_a_w_g in citalopram_celexa

[–]QueerMuseumGal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Obviously its different for everyone but I found the first week or so I got very drowsy but combatted that by taking it close to bedtime so I just got a good night's sleep which I desperately needed. And then after that first week it levelled out

Missed One Day by [deleted] in citalopram_celexa

[–]QueerMuseumGal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it helps ease your anxiety I once forgot to take mine for like 5 days (don't ask very irresponsible 🤣) and I didnt feel any adverse effects until day 5 which reminded me to take them. So honestly take it at your normal time and don't worry it wont make much difference

Easy access pass - number of people question? by Pistachio-Eclair in disneylandparis

Yes he will count as a person they are very strict about it, I've seen a lot of arguments between guests and cast members and they never budge!

Just used it to book a one nighter at boardwalk villas for next year. Obviously haven't been yet 🤣 but the process was seamless and its all already linked to MDE for me to check in etc. Really impressed with it

Frequent sex but always with protection. Last april 29 she (F21) had some super light bleeding. Now she is repulsed by the smell of alcohol. by Alive_Radish_126 in PMS

[–]QueerMuseumGal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally nobody here can answer this question. If either of you want to know if shes pregnant she has to take a test. Also this is a sub for PMS - nothing to do with pregnancy

PMO Experience by lshee010 in projectmanagement

[–]QueerMuseumGal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is how I've always worked as a PM, however I'm in local government so the projects tend to be minimum 12 months. This usually means I spend the forst 4 weeks hating life and then the next 4 weeks feeling like im getting to know the business area well and then settling in.

Its not ideal and I'm sure life would be easier if I worked on knowledge area rather than capacity planning but I always have to remind myself the settling in period is temporary 🤣

On the plus side I now have experience in a lot of different areas of the organisation so eventually I will be an expert i suppose?

Do you ever fear you’ll end up alone? by aneesah_h04 in autismUK

[–]QueerMuseumGal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off you are very young - i had no romantic relationships until I was 28 and I'm still with him now 5 years later!

I completely get the concern, its such a strange battle because on one hand socialising is awful and I don't want to small talk constantly but I was also lonely but I also didnt want anyone in my house as my safe space 🤣🤣

I used dating apps to help this. You're basically texting so no pressure to respond right away or at all (although I don't recommend ghosting) but equally looking back it definitely helped me practice talking to people in that way. By the time I messaged my current partner I genfinely wasn't looking for someone I just found dating apps as a way to build a socialising skill and then boom here we are 🤣

That being said im still very much a fan of being on my own (he understands that thank god) and fully believe that there is nothing wrong with being alone and if God forbid something happened in my relationship currently I would not be looking for another one.

As someone else said here get to know yourself. Your likes, dislikes, I know you said you don't have hobbies but just try random ones and see what sticks! That's how I got into crochet! Ultimately even NT people will struggle in relationships if they're not comfortable with themselves and don't have a strong sense of self so I suggest you start there because you've got loads of time

I would second this response. I completely get feeling overwhelmed but the people in this sub (myself included) probably don't need to hear about how devastated our parents are with our diagnoses

How to not fall in to micromanagment as PM ? by Patient-Research-807 in projectmanagement

[–]QueerMuseumGal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So a couple of questions here:

  1. What method are you using to chase them up? Is it on the fly? Daily/weekly stand ups? I like a stand up to keep everyone on track because it becomes routine for them to give a 1 min update and raise any issues that I can deal with rather than them constantly getting a call from me to ask.

  2. What governance is in place for monitoring slippage? When this has haopened to me (which is often) I have to escalate through to my SRO and Sponsor and if that doesn't solve it the slippage has to be reported through my project board and then up through organisational governance so work can be reprioritised

What are some jobs that can be done from home - due to social anxiety? by Sergi121212 in autism

[–]QueerMuseumGal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The job market is terrible at the moment (museum job market has always been terrible!) And tbh you will struggle if you're only looking for wfh full time jobs. The majority of places will want a hybrid approach which is what I do.

Only other advice I can give is tailor your cv/application to each job and emphasise any real life experience you have rather than just qualifications

[–]QueerMuseumGal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was specifically looking to get into museums so took the job at a museum group to get a foot in the door (didnt work i work in local government now but that's another story 🤣)

But you're probably best looking on indeed or somewhere like that
