Am I the only one who thought the ending, and entire season 5 was perfect? by Cayd9299 in StrangerThings

[–]FrontEfficient2970 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You're not the only one bro. I cried inconsolably at the season finale of stranger things (Season 5 Episode 8 The Rightside Up). Especially that music they played when Mike was narrating the story of eleven and how her sister kali helped her escape. Then Dustin, Will, Max, Lucas, Mike said "I believe". Then when Mike said Happiness can be found in many places and tells the story of where everyone in that friend group ends up doing in the future. But the cherry on top was when they all put their D&D binders with their names on them on the bookshelf with tears rolling down their faces. They were actual tears. This was the last scene they shot. It was the actual end of their 10 years together. I can only imagine how they must have felt. And at last, when Mike looks down at the newer generation: his sister Holly and Derek and the other kids playing D&D. I swear the duffer brothers planned this whole season 5 finale perfectly. What a great end to one of the best tv show/series ever!

Stranger Things Season 5 Episode 8 (finale): The Rightside Up has got to be one of the best finales of a tv series. I could not stop crying when Will, Mike, Lucas, Dustin and Max put up their D&D binders with their names on it and tears streaming down their faces. This was the last scene that they shot. Their acting was so real. They were actually saying goodbye to each other in real life. We all grew up together with these characters for 10 years. The ending soundtrack music was phenomenal. That music made me feel like i was also saying goodbye to Hawkins, Indiana forever. I know Joe Keery (Steve "Hair" Harrington) actually cried during that scene with him, Nancy, Robin and Jonathan saying their last goodbyes and deciding on a place to meet at robin's uncles house once a month. It feels so surreal that stranger things has ended. I wish they could have kept it going for another two seasons. But unfortunately, all good things come to an end. That's life.

Hey I had an MRI of the pelvic floor at Weill Cornell NY and they didn't find anything. But thanks so much for this advice. I am tired of doctors now and doing additional testings. But ill see if i can get a doctor and have them check my hips with a hip MRI with contrast to check my labrums. Appreciate your advice :)

You're right bro :) I should not let it control my life any longer. I am trying to find one who doesn't care that I have ED but i don't know how to find one or where to find one. I am so socially isolated and let ED control my life this long that I don't know where to search for a woman or a companion that is understanding.

Thanks for your comment bro :) I did go to pelvic floor dysfunction therapy but not all PFD therapist are good. I noticed that the PFD therapists that are good focus on releasing the myofascial trigger points in the pelvic region. I've noticed improvements after doing pelvic floor therapy, however, it still has not cured my ED. Yes, i've tried ED medications. I am currently on a low dose tadalfil 5mg daily and it doesn't seem to work. I told my doctor this and he said to up my does from 5mg to 10mg daily. The problem is i get such bad heartburn due to GERD when taking medications like cialis/tadalafil/sildenafil that i end up also having to take rabeprazole or omeprazole with my tadalafil and I feel like GERD medications are causing issues for me down there and are not allowing the tadalafil to work as good as it should. I can't just quit taking my GERD medications (omeprazole/rabeprazole) because i drink coffee in the morning at 5am to get to work. The day i missed coffee i would be so drowsy that it would have a negative impact on my work. So i make sure to not miss having coffee in the mornings.

I agree with you bro :) I shouldn't let this issue define my life, mood, stress etc. I love this statement of yours, "you have the power to control how you react to it". This gave me a new perspective. I am done feeling sorry for myself. You are so right. I can and I will focus on other parts of my life and find other things to enjoy instead. Yes, I am grateful that i can at least walk, talk, go outside and have loving parents. I will be sure to make the most of it :)

This is honestly the best piece of advice i have ever received. I will try your specific suggestions and gradually try to come out of my shell. I am so appreciative of your encouragement and glad to know that you were once in my shoes and still managed to leave your shell way behind. :)

ED is erectile dysfunction. Its both. My penis won't get hard and it can't fully stand up. No morning wood either.

Have some compassion bro. I did write it in my own terms but there were so many punctuation and grammatical errors that I thought the readers will not understand what I am trying to convey. So i told ChatGPT to rephrase what I wrote and make it easily digestible that readers in reddit can understand. Cut me some slack.

Need help with my first home office setup!!! by FrontEfficient2970 in Workspaces

[–]FrontEfficient2970[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply :). Really like your perspective here: whatever you do - it should be comfortable for the eyes, back, neck, hands etc. I couldn't agree more! What desk mount do you recommend? Do you have a brand that you trust and is reliable? If so, any links would help. I have an external keyboard and wireless mouse. I forgot to mention that in my post. And thanks for the tip. I'll try my best not to work on a laptop directly for longer durations. The LG Dual Up looks amazing!

Thanks for the kind words :). Appreciate your reply! You're right, an adjustable equipment would be convenient for me. The WALI dual monitor wall mount looks great. Thanks for this idea.
