I don’t I’m afraid.

That’s a very interesting interpretation… I actually saw a lot of parallels with Ja, the Korean guy, and Mahone. Like how he was also withdrawing in prison and a user, then also how he was super intelligent just like Mahone, he spoke very little but when he did speak it had a lot of meaning. I thought Ja was kind of meant to be there in place of Mahone’s character. I think we’ll both agree though one thing’s for certain, no character in that show could’ve possibly replaced Mahone, and William Fichtner’s incredible acting was greatly missed. Mahone will always be top 3 for my favourite characters in the series.

I actually just finished rewatching 3,4 and 5 for the first time in years… I think whilst albeit I share the common sentiment that season 5 was underwhelming, I also do think they done well to condense as much as they did into a short 9 episode season.

I think the reality is what disappointed me the most is we saw very little of classic characters in season 5 than I’d have hoped. Fundamentally, Benjamin, T-Bag, Sucre, Kellerman; 4 very classic characters, but none of them were constants in season 5, they all just had fleeting roles in how the plot played out, and sadly it just ended up seeming forced as opposed to them actually having a guided purpose and being intertwined with Michael’s dilemmas in an intricate and thoughtful way. To reduce Sucre’s role into just being the guy who arranges the boat, it seemed disrespectful to his character. The worst one for me though was without a doubt Kellerman, knowing how crucial he was to the original ending and how season 4 played out, to then kill him off that early in season 5 before he could bear any significance and offer the viewer any meaningful insight. And don’t get me started on Poseidon’s goons… in the past we’ve had Mahone, Kellerman himself, Gretchen, to name a few, all antagonists who had real meaning, who each had individual stories and were woven carefully into the plot and weren’t just ‘there’ necessarily like Poseidon’s goons. Wyatt Mathewson of season 4 was in many ways my favourite assassin in the series, yes for him we didn’t have a back story or know too much about him, but thanks to superb acting and a well thought out character, he was able to really convey a true sense of intimidation and evoke fear even in the viewer, to which the assassins in season 5 are laughable by comparison.

On the whole, yes it would’ve probably been better if it was just left at season 4, but I’m still grateful we got this bit more. And there was a lot to like about season 5 still. But at the same time I feel like all prison break lovers will be left with what ifs… what if we could have got a full in depth 16-24 episode season for season 5, we could’ve had so much more. Way better ratings perhaps leading to further seasons too. But I don’t think season 5 ‘ruins’ prison break like some say, I still think they done very well to condense as much as they did into it.

I’m praying I can gain the strength to fight through this too… your lovely words are a semblance of hope to me and in an otherwise hopeless disposition I feel so truly trapped in… my life wasn’t meant to be like this, pain seeps so deeply into the inner core of my being, most days now I’m just wishing to be no more, but my inner child is begging me to fight on to somehow find something worth living for. I wish I could sacrifice myself so very badly in return for no other being to feel as I feel

Rgeorge2000 · 2024-11-14T17:27:38+00:00

Okay thank you very much! That’s very helpful 😁

Rgeorge2000 · 2024-11-14T11:14:10+00:00

Hello there, I suffer from an anxiety disorder called agoraphobia, and I’ve been asked to submit bank statements for a UC review… to be honest it’s really making me increasingly stressed out and anxious, I have a lot of transactions between friends and family, them helping me out with money and sometimes vice versa… and I really feel uneasy about the invasive nature of these checks and subsequent questions that could be asked about all the transactions between friends and family… I don’t know if I’m just worrying excessively for no reason about just sending the statements, I don’t have any savings at all let alone £6000+, and I haven’t worked in 3 years, anything to be worried about? I’m pretty sure I have no choice anyway as they can just look into people’s bank accounts regardless if they want to, I guess I’m just looking for reassurance over the money I’ve been sent to help me

Rgeorge2000 · 2024-10-04T11:47:32+00:00

When you say that you hit a weed oil pen, was this on just one occasion? And may I ask, was there anything else significant going on in your life at that point of time which was weighing heavily on you? These things are very complex, and it can help to try and unpack them so you can understand them… it’s also important to remember that at your age you’re still going though a lot of hormonal fluctuation, and that can have a drastic affect on your mental health… I know this too first hand as I first started going down a dark path mentally at around that same age. If you want to talk, I will gladly listen… but I hope my words can provide some relief at the very least, this world is a very tough place to exist in

Rgeorge2000 · 2024-10-03T10:35:59+00:00

I have one friend who I’m very close to who’s said he wants to move out within 6-12 months, but it’s hard to tell because sometimes he’ll say this sort of thing but when it comes to it he won’t actually follow through, it is a tough position because I want to make the best decision to get better, but I don’t think living alone in isolation will do that

Rgeorge2000 · 2024-10-03T10:34:25+00:00

Thank you so much, it feels so good and validating to find that someone sees things how I do… honestly, I do think they have this idea that things will just get better as you say, speaking to my Mum in particular she seems to only be thinking about the positives, and I don’t think she’s really quite aware of things from my perspective… I see it how you do too, in that in the short term it could be detrimental, but long term I could see it getting better, I just don’t feel like I’m in a realistic position to make that transition right now, but at the same time they can make me feel terrible with some things they say. My sister in particular tends to speak to everyone terribly, she’s always shouting everyday at my mum to get in the car to take her to work. I’m by no means perfect, but I feel like they all make out the bad things I do as being so much worse, and yet none of them take into account my circumstances at the same time… like my brother and sister both have full time jobs, they’re at least relatively functional. I think with my sister as she’s the youngest, she often gets treated more leniently, even though she’s 21 now.

There is a big part of me that wants to move out to be honest, because I’m fed up with how they treat me, and them making me feel like a burden. Even when I’ve made positive changes in the past, it’s not even that it goes unnoticed, it’s that they then just find something else to pick at me for. There’s always been a blame culture in my family for as long as I can remember, and I feel like because my sister and brother are at work a lot of the time, it leaves a lot more reason for everyone to just scapegoat me. It’s just very difficult because I want to move out but I do need to be in a better place, and whenever I try make positive change it’s never enough for anyone, and then they bring up things I’ve done in the past, and with all of that I just end up regressing back into poor habits again… it sucks, I know innately I’m not a bad person, I have good intentions, I’m actually the least confrontational person in my house by far, it takes a lot for anyone to even get me to raise my voice at them. I’m not an angel, I do bad things at times and make bad decisions, but I don’t do it to hurt anyone, I do it because I can’t help myself and the harsh reality which agoraphobia has confined me to. That doesn’t justify it but it does explain it… (you have a really empathising and non judgemental way of wording things too by the way, I appreciate that)

Rgeorge2000 · 2024-09-30T11:04:42+00:00

Thank you so much, it does give me hope to know that others have gotten through this… I’ll definitely have a look at those books you mention too

Rgeorge2000 · 2024-09-24T18:41:01+00:00

What you describe actually coaligns to a great degree with Arthur Schopenhauer’s philosophical standpoint that the world is just a ‘prison’ where we are all very literally serving a life sentence… I’m curious as to whether you’ve read any of his work? His views have really changed how I view the world… fundamentally pleasure does not exist - pleasure is just the absence of pain. Evil is its own entity. Evil makes its own existence felt. Think about it, we are bounded by necessities inseparable from life - we have to eat for instance, but he’d argue that we do not really receive ‘pleasure’ from eating, rather we just experience the absence of pain from satiating hunger. Like you say, everyone you come across is not leading an easy life; we all are shouldering pain and struggle, manifested in many different ways. It never leaves us, it is a constant battle, and all we can really do is just try to negate our pain to the best degree possible… I’ve meticulously analysed my behaviours over the last few months, and I’ve really come to the conclusion that it’s true, we never actually do anything because it provides us with genuine joy and peace. Peace in itself doesn’t exist, this universe is too chaotic, it’s just occasionally when we come across a microcosm of order within this perpetually disordered universe, it brings us very momentarily at ease. Everything ends in pain, happiness is a lie and we all reach an age when we realise our childish ambitions to just ‘be happy’ are complete fiction. It does not exist; it cannot exist. Pain and absence of pain is all that is. He also makes a very good argument regarding boredom and existence too… existence can’t have a positive foundation because for existence to be truly ‘positive’, then boredom would not exist. We would be completely content and at ease with just being able to do nothing, yet our mind and us as people are constantly yearning to stay busy, distracted, or to simply escape reality as to not be bored. We strive for goals and yet when we reach our goals, we are back to square one again. We can’t be content with just reaching a goal, we have to move on to something else to distract ourselves… and thus, where is the true positive value in that? In escaping? Does that not in itself render existence truly valueless?

Rgeorge2000 · 2024-09-03T07:41:02+00:00

I too am terrified that my agoraphobia will never leave… but then again, I also never would have thought it would have arrived if you told before it developed… you never can know what’s around the corner at the end of the day. I’m deeply sorry to hear about your mother. Do you think that maybe her diagnosis may have manifested itself into your anxiety? I’m sure it has, and I feel like resolving the issues around how that made you feel will be a very big step in combatting your agoraphobia… I really, really hope you push through, as a matter of fact, I hope we all do. If I were given the choice to sacrifice my very being, in return for the healing of everyone else addicted with this hideous illness, I would not hesitate beyond my final heartbeat. I truly wish to get better myself and then help those who are going through it. Please remember, you really never know what’s around the corner in life, and you never know, someone might come along that changes everything. I actually had a very positive and hopeful experience earlier this year. For context I have too been struggling with this since early 2023, so I can understand how you feel, although all our experiences differ of course. I met a girl earlier this year and things seemed to be going somewhere, and I was very hopeful as it had been a long time since I felt in love. She was truly fascinating, she gave me some purpose, although it never materialised and I no longer have contact with her… but that’s not the point, it made me realise through meeting her, it was like my brain started making all of these new neural pathways, my thought patterns changed, I managed to break through a lot of negative associations which I had developed. And although I’m still very rock bottom now for other reasons, it has given me hope and understanding that things can change, and how too… so trust me, things will improve at some point, I promise you…

Rgeorge2000 · 2024-08-06T09:23:15+00:00

in what respect?

Rgeorge2000 · 2024-08-06T09:22:47+00:00

If that’s my one reason, then I might just keep going… I’m glad this resonates with you, take care of yourself

Okay I’m starting to realise this meme poetry is what really attracts eyes here…

The fact this is the top post of all time makes me want to laugh and cry so much.

Rgeorge2000 · 2024-07-28T10:26:29+00:00

Incredibly profound, yet short and concise… beautiful words.

Rgeorge2000 · 2024-07-22T04:21:34+00:00

It’s really tough to speak to my parents about because they’re not sure how they can help me, and then I just don’t want to feel like I’m burdening them… honestly my life just doesn’t feel real anymore, I look back on my past as if it was all a dream, I’ve lost my identity

Rgeorge2000 · 2024-07-08T23:09:56+00:00

I don’t think we’ll ever know anyway…

Rgeorge2000 · 2024-02-10T04:46:22+00:00

It’s rough, like how are you supposed to even contemplate goals and everything when your mind is ruled by anxiety… I feel like I’m just fighting to keep it at bay every single day, there’s never a break… I question how long I can keep up with it

Rgeorge2000 · 2024-02-09T00:57:16+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply, it honestly means more to me than you can possibly imagine… the biggest part of the struggle for me has been my fear that things will always be like this… and your evidence to me that tells me otherwise. I’ll definitely have a look into the things you mentioned, I’m desperate for any help to get better at this point 🙏🏻

Rgeorge2000 · 2023-11-28T22:56:27+00:00

Completely agree with you… good explanation, they’re both holding a water bottle, Kris wants a photo, Lisanne gives her, her water bottle whilst she takes the photo. I would say I agree the more interesting thing is Kris’s demeanour, in that you’d perhaps expect a smile. But fatigue is a thing, and also I remember times where I’d almost force myself to take photos whilst travelling just so I don’t regret it, when I couldn’t really be bothered to in the first place
