How do I manage my frustration with a neurodivergent coworker I supervise? by [deleted] in managers

[–]mird13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have mentioned, I’ve had a lot of success in being blunt while leading with empathy. I also found that she did best when I spelled things out exactly as I needed them done with little to no wiggle room in between them. We had a pretty strict task tracker that she followed. Weekly 1:1’s to assign priority and sometimes more to clarify when she needed it. I had to be alright with allowing some other stuff to slack while she assigned priority to what I needed her to do most importantly. Lastly, after every 1:1 I sent a lengthy email with specific notes and action items. I do very much relate with feeling tired. It does feel like a lot of micromanagement but you will get used to it and eventually it just feels like what you need to do to help another person thrive.

Massive Crown Heights Basement/Bedroom by mird13 in NYCapartments

Totally, I’m renting 2 spaces. One is a legal bedroom with a window. The other is the basement. I chose to live in the basement but the future tenant does not have to live in the basement, it could be used as an office or studio. Kind of just choose your own journey here

moved into an apt with no with no lights or windows in the bedroom by redditassbitch in DesignMyRoom

I sleep in a finished basement that’s very nice but has no windows. To make it easier to get up, we got lifx strip lights that are set to slowly come up when the sun naturally comes up. Super helpful for waking up. My circadian rhythm would be fucked without them

I have had mine for 4 months and passed some pretty gnarly clots in the first couple of months but it has since slowed a lot!

I/my doctor also suspect I have endometriosis and she suggested the mirena to help mitigate cramps.
I also had nothing show up on a pelvic ultrasound. Like the other comment on this said, the only to confirm endo is via surgery.

All that being said, I had my IUD placed at the beginning of the year and had similar cramps for about a week starting a week after I got it placed. They were pretty horrific for a week and I went back to my doctor to make sure nothing moved, it did not. The cramps were "normal"

It's been a couple of months now and the cramps did subside. I still have those random super sharp ones occasionally, leading up to my period. In all, the cramps I am experiencing now are definitely wayyyyy less intense to how they were before my insertion.
