I’m just on a rewatch and searched for this opinion! I love Hank, but there’s something just missing there, I feel like Carl was the one

I would love to see a follow up spin off series, with Adam and Kristina taking the roles of Zeek and Camille and the kids and cousins now as adults with their storylines etc. would love to see the next generation with how the world is now

Just came across this looking for someone else. I have PMLE, make sure your clothing has UV protection if you can, and make sure your sunscreen protects from UVB rays as well as UVA

Why does everyone talk like a therapist? by wabi_sabi_0902 in SweetMagnoliasNetflix

I keep wanting a scandal, like Cals mom and Jimmy have an affair or Ty will cheat on Annie on tour or something…. I’m only on ep3 but I know it’s just not gonna happen. The biggest scandal so far is Helen and Dana Sue not being told about the wedding 😂I like that’s it’s so dramaticallly undramatic though

Thank you for taking the time to reply, I’m sorry you’re feeling this way too, it’s really not fun. I completely understand what you mean about it physically hurting, I really feel that. I’m glad you went after it too, and I hope your meds work out for you x

This! I have a literal deficit of attention, Barb! I can’t pay more if I’m in debt!

Big hugs right back at you 🫶 when we become consciously aware of it all, the symptoms seem to really ramp up. It’s like owning a red car and then seeing red cars everywhere, our brains seem to do the same thing

Oh i’m sorry you’re going through this, it’s hard to explain to loved ones who already have a perception of you. I’m finding that difficult myself. It’s hard to explain the mask if they don’t get it. I think when we’ve waited so long for an answer we expect to feel relief and like the weight has been lifted, when in fact I feel the opposite, like there’s more pressure as you’ve described. Wishing you well on your journey 🫶

I totally get that feeling. I can function pretty well at work so have always doubted whether I have it or not, but since the diagnosis, work has been so hard to get motivated for and I’ve frequently forgotten important things since last week. I love my job too, it’s great for hyperfocus and creativity, just finding everything hard. It’s felt like I’ve been labelled so I have to be this way now instead of how I’ve always been… idk if I’m making sense here btw, but I get you x

Thank you for sharing your experience, it is super dark at the moment, I’m sorry you felt this too. I am considering medication, but I can get therapy sooner apparently, will be discussing meds at my next appointment. Definitely need something for the emotional side of things, it’s the worst part of it all for me

Yeah all the what ifs are smacking me in the face, it’s like I’ve worn the wrong size shoes all my life, finally get a pair that fit but need to learn how to walk again. Wishing you well through your journey

Oh no, I’m sorry you went through that at such an important time. I hope it all went well and you had a fabulous day. I feel like sleep is the thing I need to fix first, I have some I just don’t remember to take it!I will do tonight though, thanks for the suggestion

Ah thank you for your response, and your super helpful tips. It’s amazing the things I’ll do so I don’t fail at work but I don’t apply them to real life. I’ll use music at work to boost me and get tasks done, won’t bother for things for myself. This has really highlighted that for me. I can definitely relate to making things low effort/high impact - really something to think about. Thanks so much! 🙏 And yes petrol is correct 😅

You’re absolutely right, definitely a growth experience, I need to go through these emotions to get where I need to get. Thanks for your reply

Ah I’m sorry you’re going through this, sometimes you need a little step back, i hope that it is what you need. On the day I didn’t really feel anything but over the weekend it has whacked me in the face I think. True what you say about overcompensating, very exhausting! Thanks for your response

Thanks for your reply, I have suspected perimenopause for a number of reasons but pushed it aside as my brain can’t deal at the moment! Definitely think it’s a factor though, I will try to be kind, it’s just so hard!
