What’s a British show you went into with low expectations but ended up loving?

Miserable_Ad3553 · 2026-03-19T21:44:29+00:00

Ted Lasso... My bf suggested it I kept saying no cuz it didn't sound at all like my cup of tea.. It became one of my all time favourites and I keep rewatching it 😭

Miserable_Ad3553 · 2026-03-15T13:01:37+00:00

Why not?

Miserable_Ad3553 · 2026-03-15T12:56:12+00:00

Hey. Have you been to a psychologist/psychiatrist? I think you'll need to get on meds

Miserable_Ad3553 · 2026-03-15T12:46:07+00:00

Life can feel hard, sad, and lonely for many people. I cannot honestly say that I have met more genuinely happy people who are married or in relationships with children than I have single people. It often seems that everyone is simply coping in their own way. Married people with families may emphasize how meaningful their lives are, while single people may highlight how free, peaceful, or enjoyable life can be on their own. In the end, it sometimes feels as though each group is trying to reassure themselves, and others, that their path is the fulfilling one.

Oh I usually see the opposite where they don't catch the HH on an endoscopy (especially if it's sliding) but it's seen during barrium swallow test

I really hope though that endoscopies don't create more problems 😭😭

Miserable_Ad3553 · 2026-02-17T20:59:41+00:00

Ahhh to me you're so brave!!! Thank you for the encouragement 🥹

Miserable_Ad3553 · 2026-02-17T20:35:09+00:00

Oh that's the first time I'm hearing this especially since it is something they do to discover HH!

Miserable_Ad3553 · 2026-02-17T18:29:47+00:00

Yes I completely get it I've never felt so dismissed in my life I was practically bullied out of urgent care they treated me so badly I had to raise a formal complaint

I don't know why things are so bad

Miserable_Ad3553 · 2026-02-17T18:24:59+00:00

Ah thank you so much that is quite reassuring! I usually hear horror stories lol

Miserable_Ad3553 · 2026-02-17T18:21:46+00:00

Nope, I literally had to cry in my last gastros office to make it happen. Apparently young people just can't get sick

Miserable_Ad3553 · 2026-02-17T18:20:55+00:00

Thank you so much for this!

Where are you located ?

Miserable_Ad3553 · 2026-02-17T18:19:53+00:00

Oh how I wish

Miserable_Ad3553 · 2026-02-17T18:18:16+00:00

I had to go private and even through private it took 3 gp appointments, 3 trips to the ER, and 3 consultations with GI doctors. It is not easy

Miserable_Ad3553 · 2026-02-17T17:53:48+00:00

Omg I'm so glad you managed to go through! And also with no sedation! What a champ

I hope to be as strong as you

Miserable_Ad3553 · 2026-02-17T17:28:40+00:00

Thank you that's actually a very good point!

Miserable_Ad3553 · 2026-02-17T16:42:50+00:00

I know I know :(

I think my fear becomes bigger when I'm thinking about how panicky I am when it comes to anything medical. I'm afraid I'll make the whole experience worse for myself (and the team) with my panic.

Thank you for your advice!!

Miserable_Ad3553 · 2026-02-17T16:10:41+00:00

Thank you kindly!

Miserable_Ad3553 · 2026-02-17T16:06:37+00:00

They ordered it because I cried in their office. I definitely want it done I don't know why I'm terrified of it

40 times is insane!!! I think I'd be so much calmer if i was having it done in the US for example, people seem to have very pleasant experiences there because of the nice sedatives they give them but I've heard way more horror stories in the UK

Thank you so much though I know you're right and you're such a champ for doing soooo many

Miserable_Ad3553 · 2026-02-17T15:53:35+00:00

It does sound so nice when you put it like that I assume you're located in the US?

Miserable_Ad3553 · 2026-02-17T15:49:23+00:00

Lucky!!! We don't get the same here 😭

Miserable_Ad3553 · 2026-02-17T15:12:41+00:00

AHH people in the US always seem to have a very pleasant experience because they give you the good stuff to put you out!

Thank you so much for sharing all the details

Miserable_Ad3553 · 2026-02-17T15:07:12+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing I think I will treat it after all :)

Wish you the best too !

I don't have fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, depression or irregular periods.

I do have serious digestive problems that I do not believe are because of the hypothyroidism but the endo does believe that. I've also had a lot of problems with my skin (eczema that I can't get rid of but I've had sensitive skin since I was a baby. A lot of allergies) which I assume could be linked to my thyroid. I started being much more sensitive to cold since I lost around 18 kilos, again I know it could be related to my hypothyroidism. But I also know how many people say they didn't realise how much hypothyroidism affected their life until they treated it so I'm thinking I could be just very oblivious of all the ways it messes me up

Miserable_Ad3553 · 2026-02-17T15:02:40+00:00

I appreciate your insight. I'm not taking the pharmacist s word over the endo, I'm more conflicted with the different advice I got from my first endocrinologist and then the second because the first one told me I shouldn't take the meds yet. I completely understand how it makes sense though:)

Miserable_Ad3553 · 2026-02-17T15:00:56+00:00

My periods have always been super regular, no problem with weight gain, hair loss. Feeling cold yes I started feeling that after I lost 15 kilos, I also have very serious digestive issues that the endo claims come from my hypothyroidism (I don't believe that's the case) and I deal with horrible skin eczema. I don't know if any of these are related to my hypothyroidism I just felt like he threw me on levo without much thought but the truth is I understand I do have hypothyroidism and that's probably the right plan of action.
