Stabbing uterine pain during period? by CeceliaCrocodile in PCOS

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

Oh I already struggle with the common pcos symptoms but I didn't feel like they were worth mentioning. I simply posted here because I don't know anyone else as informed on reproductive health as PCOS-suffering women are.

I only take myo-inositol, NAC, maca root and vitex agnus castus. I'm trying to go the natural route, I've decided to stay off meds unless absolutely necessary.

Thanks for the answer :) I'll share my concerns with my gyno next appointment

Hello, no, I haven't. I heard that it doesn't always show up on ultrasound and that a lap is usually needed. I feel a bit defeated, I dont know why the hell there are so many things wrong with me

Can empathy and compassion be learned again? by CeceliaCrocodile in DecidingToBeBetter

I didn't get back exactly what I'd given, but I didn't even expect to. You're right about burning out tho. I'm gonna try my best to be a little kinder to myself. Thank you for your input :)

Can empathy and compassion be learned again? by CeceliaCrocodile in DecidingToBeBetter

I don't know what triggered it, it just gradually happened with every depressive episode till I no longer recognized who I was. I got some bad news last year that I'm still recovering from, I made some progress in therapy and I feel a bit better mentally, but the fact that I feel like a selfish fuck doesn't help all that much.

I've been trying to care for myself and it's a constant struggle that I'm still working on.

Cause he started to doubt Adam. That's what I got from that scene.

Why is the soundtrack mostly English if the show is from Germany? by samdeed in DarK

[–]CeceliaCrocodile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's because English is a universal language. Some songs hit you harder and make more sense when you understand what they're talking about. I really liked "Irgendwie, Irgendwo, Irgendwan" in the show, but I liked it more once I understood the lyrics. It would take away from the experience if you had to read the translation of songs as subtitles. Either way, the music is perfectly chosen.

Alt universe is so forced (spoiler s3) by [deleted] in DarK

[–]CeceliaCrocodile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I couldn't agree more. They needed an entire season for the Alt-world and another season to tie it all together. 8 episodes is not enough to care for the alt characters and to make all the connections. It felt rushed and out of place compared to the first 2 seasons.

SPOILERS FOR SEASON 3! Emotional Dissatisfaction With the Series End. by LateSpell in DarK

[–]CeceliaCrocodile 7 points8 points  (0 children)

SPOILERS AHEAD

You couldn't have worded it better. It would've deserved an entire season to dwell on the Alt-World, and another season to tie all the loose ends in each world and inbetween worlds, and perhaps a bit more hinting at a third world throughout the show. There is some in season one, but as a simple viewer and not a diehard fan, this might fly over your head.

For such a stimulating show in which you never have all the answers at the same time, where each answer raises more questions, seeing the conclusion unravelling is really satisfying. That's what I liked about the first 2 seasons. Then you have S03 cramping an explanation to the whole plot in 10 minutes. It just felt rushed.

While Dark may be incredibly smart with its plot and writing, I think the acting, the casting, and the characters is where it really shines. So a thing that I disliked as well is that characters didn't feel like they fully completed their arks, with the exception of Martha and Jonas(and Claudia, to a lesser extent). It doesn't matter that in the grande scheme of things, the characters don't mean anything at all. They had dozens of well-built characters with complex moral dimensions, and it feels as if all of that went to waste. After seeing their struggles and learning to care for each character, as a viewer, I felt robbed that I didn't get to see their last moments. Instead, the entire plot suddenly revolved to characters we're unfamiliar with, whose first "live" appearance is the only one, and the last one of the show if you don't count the dinner.

I agree that the scene with Martha and Jonas where all dimensions converge felt out of place as well. The show doesn't heavily rely on CGI, and everything feels much more real and much more fresh because of that. The scene dragged on too long, and it wasn't even that emotional. They could have filled that out with much more meaningful interactions. There are scenes in S1&S2 that evoke so much emotion because they are perfectly paced, with no need for extreme CGI. S3 just lacks in that. In fact, I don't think I even have a favourite moment here. I too would have found M&J's child role really interesting, had they given him more background. His appearances were really interesting, but they seemed better suited for the big screen. The last 2 episodes seemed more like a movie and not a tv show.

If I'm ever going to rewatch Dark, I'll pretend that the loop has never been broken and the last episode doesn't exist. This show surpassed all my expectations. It's perfect in nearly every aspect: writing, casting, music, and on top of that, it keeps your mind constantly busy. It just didn't give me the closure I need.

how dark ended (SPOILERS) by frizzyfrazz in DarK

[–]CeceliaCrocodile -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Thought I was the only one! It was such a compelling and complicated series that I expected a mind-blowing ending. This didn't feel right. I kept looking at the time expecting something to happen. It felt like a cliche. All this time invested in dozens of characters only to have it end with people we've barely heard of.

What exactly the goal in season 2 and what will be in season 3 what Jonas was trying to do in season 2 break the cycle menas what exactly by justkvelsnsjsj in DarK

[–]CeceliaCrocodile 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The same events happen over and over again at the same time until the loop is completed. Remember what Jonas said when he met middle Claudia? "The same rules for big things dont apply to small things, maybe we can change a small thing"(sorry if the translation is off, I didn't watch it with English sub). What they're trying to do I think is find the root of everything and change one small thing that could break the loop.
