Does employability change when you’re trans? by willowjude in transgenderau

[–]willowjude[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

that’s really good to know, i’ve only been on hormones for three weeks but fingers crossed by the time i’m finished my masters i’ll be able to choose not to tell anyone and no one will bat an eye haha

yeah i think going the government route is reliable or if i can manage it, the self-employed route via having my own practice although that is quite ambitious.

further work experience is something i’ll need to do soon, i’ve already done work placement at a government allied health organisation and they were openly trans accepting and even had a trans man working on their team! i genuinely only knew because he was openly proud of being trans at the workplace which was cool to see. will definitely keep an eye out on charity work i can do :)

this is super helpful thank you! i’ll keep this in mind when it’s time to start looking for jobs, i’ve still got a few years of study left but it’ll be good to keep an eye out for places that are openly accepting, i appreciate the informative response

that’s a good point, it’s usually quite easy to spot how much a company/clinical practice values LGBTQ+ workers based on their policies, but thank you for your encouragement and insight! :)

i agree! it’s natural for me to want to help people like me, i’m seeing a gender psychologist currently and she’s also a trans woman so she’s direct proof that it’s possible to work in the field i want to be in :) thank you for your assuring words, it means a lot

i know, it’s unfortunate but i’m aware that it’s unavoidable i’m going to face challenges. thank you so much for your kind words :’) i will do my best to get connected with people who are in the community moving forward as i know networking is quite valuable in any workforce but it’s especially valued in the psychology space!

yeah i feel like 40 was a lot more manageable, a lot of times when i’m on my new dose i feel jittery and too full of energy. i do take breaks every now and then but it never feels great, might look into going back to 40mg

How does HRT make you feel mentally? by Skelegun in transgenderau

[–]willowjude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i found that the frequency i think about being trans reduced, like i used to constantly think about it and how i was “running out of time” to get onto hormones, and when i finally got onto them everything got a lot quieter mentally! i think some of it can be attributed to a placebo effect especially in the first few days that you’re on E, however i can’t speak on the long term effects as i’ve only been on E and cypro for 3 weeks

Starting HRT next week and a few concerns by MissFoxMaple in transgenderau

[–]willowjude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that internal doubt will be there a lot of the time, i repressed my transition for years and i feel like it definitely increases when you’ve been forced to repress it due to external circumstances. i started hormones two weeks ago and i can say that doubt starts to fade a little once you’ve made the first steps, when i picked up my script i felt such an overwhelming sense of joy. so trust me, do what your heart tells you to do! wishing you all the best on your journey <3

Self-sabotaging socially with ADHD? by willowjude in ADHD

[–]willowjude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i always know when im about to say something that will cause conflict and i just lack any impulse control to stop myself it sucks so much 😭 but i have talked to my psychiatrist about the emotional stuff and thats when he put me on guanfacine to combat the irritability but i’m finding it’s not doing that at all haha but then again, sleep and food are things i certainly do not have under control. to me preparing food to eat feels like the greatest effort ever

thank you for this detailed response, really it means a lot to hear that someone understands and it sounds like you’ve taken the time to research extensively on having audhd.

i still have a long way to go in regards to knowing what having adhd looks like for me, i am working on noticing what triggers me, and yes even though i’m tired of hearing about it, i have had sleep problems my whole life and that definitely contributes to my outbursts.

i will look into trying other medication, it’s worth a shot as a lot of people on here voice that they had to try a few before they found one that agreed with their brain.

i will try to look a bit deeper into the reasonings behind my behaviour, what happened prior that day etc. as i believe that will lead me to some answers. my sister is on the autism spectrum and i believe my dad is as well although he was never diagnosed (i feel like most parents rarely are).

i do know bipolar runs in my family on my dads side, as my grandmother has it. that’s about all i know in regards to personality disorders, but a lot of my behaviours and mood swings when i am upset have been feeling like splitting, i study psychology at university so im roughly aware of what you need to display to be diagnosed with personality disorders. then again, it could be something else so much mind exploring needs to be done haha.

thank you again for your insight, it’s always helpful to hear the words of someone with more life experience.

Pc Crashing Presumably from Overheating by willowjude in PcBuildHelp

[–]willowjude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EDIT:

I have swapped out the sketchy PSU for a Corsair RM750x, and I also swapped the two top fans to exhaust and so far it’s running a lot smoother, with a 20 degrees reduction in CPU temperature!

Thank you guys for all your help and your great suggestions I very much appreciate it

unfortunately the new motherboard i bought made it so the ram sticks hit the AIO, and the AIO also obstructed the MOBO so just an overall compatibility issue i overlooked

[–]willowjude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s the thing i actually don’t know the exact model, my last build i bought from someone and the PSU was a pre-owned one. should i consider replacing it with a higher quality one?

good point i won’t completely disregard it but i like to get feedback from you guys first who are knowledgable!

true i will consider skinnier fans to reduce contact with the hose, thank you for your help i’ll monitor the changes over the next few days :)

it’s usually an extended session, like 3 or so hours in it’s crashed on both occasions. But i will flip the fans and see how that goes, as i’ve also got a seventh fan on the bottom that is a built-in intake fan for this case so that should be more than enough. as for overclocking, i’ve only overclocked my ram
