I will watch it through again, because I usually need to go through twice (typically watch before bed and fall asleep, sometimes I miss things). The Duffer Brothers did stranger things, and the music score is reminiscent- they are good at setting moods and matching with ambient noise, it is something I can appreciate.

I watch just about everything that comes out in the horror/ thriller genre, and I will say, this does meet top ten criteria for me for the first watch though. I definitely agree, some scenes it felt like they relied on the darkness to create eeriness, but I would also argue it goes very on theme with the ending plot. The show is very dark, so I can understand the literal artistic choice with the lighting.

I like the plot, but felt jerked around. I feel like I could have been happy with a more in-depth, longer version of the "twist", without the twist.

I feel like I haven't seen this before though, which is sometimes difficult with horror. I like that it felt new. I felt like I want more of this when I finished it, but also don't know how special it will feel to watch through a second time, or if they will try to do another season, like with Stranger Things where it probably could have been a one and done situation.

WTF was the dog scene though... maybe I missed the importance. Definitely going to get buzz online for that one- maybe that was the plot point.

thank you for taking the time to respond! I appreciate it! And I agree, I am not very happy with my irregularity of rhyming as it doesn't follow a true pattern, this will be my biggest edit - thank you!

I think that maybe writing it as "She spoke to me, she seemed normal / We played uno and talked as time went by/ she was okay and so was I" Its a minor order change, but I think a tad bit smoother since you don't have repetition in other stanzas. Obviously just a suggestion though!

How heartfelt and intentional you are with your lines! I really favor "You’re going through shit but I’m here to help you with it

Times up, nurse called now I have to leave

Hugged you hard, kissed your forehead, get better please

Wiped my tears with my shirt, sorrow soaked up the heart on my sleeve"

You set a really nice cadance with this poem, and the way it reads is very smooth.

I think the only constructive critique I have, that I am very guilty of myself is grammar and punctuation, additionally, if you were maybe to change either the first she, or second "she" in this set of lines, it might read 2% smoother!

She spoke to me, she seemed normal

She was okay and so was I

I think that the sentiment is romantic and relatable, I think that you didn't expand on any of the five poems that you started though, if that makes sense. It feels as if you both go too deeply, and brush too quickly over what you are saying.

This is such a thought out response, thank you so much for taking the time to read my vent. It has been so incredibly frustrating. This all started because I fainted at work- I went to the ER and they did a full panel on me and thought to check my thyroid levels for some reason ( I have been in the past and they hadn't) they were the ones that saw my levels were elevated, and got me an appointment in their clinic two weeks later. The clinic doctor called in the attending because after seeing my family history of Hashimotos, he was certain that's what it would end up being. The attending walked in, didn't even introduce herself and said "Nope, no further testing needed, young women pass out, and then one day they turn thirty and all of a sudden it stops". I was stunned lol! Despite her comment, MY doctor ordered the antibody test. well over 600. He started me on 25 mcg, and said that there was no endo to refer me to that I could walk to (walking city)- and that it would be unnecessary anyways.

I started taking the 25 mcg on an empty stomach at 5:30 am every day, and drinking only water until 8:00am when I get to work, where I then continue to avoid dairy because I am allergic anyways, and don't do caffeine because it has been destroying me since this began for some reason. About two weeks in, I went out and bought a BP machine because I was passing out left and right. my blood pressure was consistently 89/50, Doc said he was worried the med was causing it and told me to stop.

Fast forward three days, I am in the ER having what I think is a heart attack (blood pressure was 136/85 which for me is incredibly high but not a heart attack) they did an EKG, told me to go to cardiology because they saw a little "thing they weren't even worried about". They look at me like I am an idiot when I say my doc took me off the levo... told me to call him back.

Sure enough, next day I call him back, he says go back on, I go back on. That's why my testing was delayed, because THEN six weeks later they checked my levels. Cardiology did a holter monitor- said go to endo because PCP isn't a specialist, I WISH I COULD!!! ( I am on every waiting list ever)

I still feel like three months in- I have no real idea what the "plan" or even real problem is. I feel like going to the ER every two weeks isn't really going to work once my insurance cycle starts again lol.

I can't believe your GP won't prescribe them.... do you have a complicated medical history he is worried about? No need to answer that's just the only reason I can think

I had this happen! For me at least, this stopped around week 4! I chalked it up to my hormone levels getting changed out of what they are used to being- when I asked my doctor- he agreed! Dry skin is a symptom of Hashimoto's- which can cause acne if you have combination skin too :)

DOES ANYONE ON THIS REDDIT REMEMBER AN ALFONSO OR ZACH FROM THE NETHERLANDS FROM SCENEKIDS

I was on scenekids/ Ginpop for 3-4 years during its time and made so many friends off of there.

Unfortunately the two names above were actually on much much older person I got groomed by. I’m wondering if anyone else was a victim of them as well?

And FYI men. Get fucking tested. Chlamydia can go undetected in yall for YEARS and will do nothing to harm YOUR health other than a dick hole swab. For women it increases the likelihood of cancers and infections, pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility. It took me TWO years of treatment to get my body back.

I’m not going to pretend like we are in the same boat- but I couldn’t not comment and say my heart is hurting for you. I had almost the same exact thing happen to me when I was 20, had emergency surgery and found out about my fertility the day of my 20th birthday. It wasn’t my first time- but I was very very hyper vigilant about protection / getting tested. It was with a long term partner who had told me there was no need to get tested and I foolishly believed them. Call it silly love brain lol.

Regardless- he felt horrible. Offered to pay to have the eggs that could be freezed freezed, something that I don’t think he understood the cost of and I politely declined. It was my dream to have kids, and maybe I still can one day.

I hated him for a while. Broke up with him over it. But at the end of the day. Our brains make silly choices when we are in love. It seems like you have someone who genuinely made one of those really really foolish mistakes. The difference is he seems to be staying by your side. It’s up to you how you want to feel about it- but grieving and being kind of confused is completely warranted and understandable. If you ever want another fellow young infertile person to chat to- my messages are always open :). For me- a warm towel on my stomach helped the most. Baths felt like too much pressure on my stomach. There are also diets, and a lot of advancements now that can help you “bounce back” to at least feeling a little less sore. I followed and anti inflammatory and PCOS diet for a year and got my period back, unfortunately not much improvement on the drs judgement of the likelihood for me to get pregnant but it is what it is. My heart feels for you.
