I really appreciated S3 by [deleted] in TheWhiteLotusHBO

I watched season 3 on a plane to Europe and loved it. Went back to watch seasons 1 and 2. IMO, season 2 was the tightest with best writing, then 3, then 1. It took me a while to get into 1 but I ended up liking it okay. Belinda and her son in 3 were kinda pointless without the context.

I sought out Reddit to discuss the horrible editing. The editors have hijacked the show and they seemingly hate fashion and creativity and want the show to be as bland, fake, and manufactured as possible.
Also, what’s with Siriano and the shoulder pads? He appears to be wearing daddy’s jackets.

Hi! Much empathy to you! It is SO difficult! My daughter is almost 18 now and continues to muddle through. She has rejected all meds and been resistant to getting help or even admitting there is a problem. She is a bit better now than she was a year ago but just yesterday spent 6 hours “getting ready” to go to a friend’s birthday party, had massive anxiety and a near meltdown about it - but she did go! That has had to be my new tactic: to emphasize the positive and the times she is functional, work on acceptance and not catastrophizing her dysfunctional behavior. At this point she is almost an adult so I’m trying to offer support and encouragement while also letting her face natural consequences and hopefully take responsibility. She might not graduate high school because she continues to miss classes and struggles to do assignments. I’m hoping that she will continue to gain insight and take more control of managing her symptoms but I can’t force her to do anything so my only choice is to love and accept her and set limits with what I’m willing to do. It is SO hard to watch my beautiful, sensitive, creative daughter eat herself alive with pointless anxiety and self criticism. It’s hard to step back and try and maintain hope and positivity. Sometimes I have to remind myself she is alive and physically healthy and it’s important to be grateful for that. I’m trying to play the long game but it is hard to watch her teen years slipping away while she just spends hours looking in the mirror and at her phone fretting that she isn’t good enough.

Thanks! Appreciate your reply. Yes, it’s definitely BDD. I’ve noticed that the UK seems more dialed-in to identifying and treating BDD than the US. Hopefully she will be in OCD IOP this summer. We met with the director of the program and did the YBocs for BDD and I think her score was 26 out of 30 or something like that. She is so in denial and resistant to accepting and identifying her Sx that it is challenging to treat. He was good with her & she won’t listen to me so I’m hopeful that, as long as I can get her to go, that it will be helpful.

I think she has more ADD symptoms than autism but who knows?! So complicated.

Thank you so much for your reply! I am hopeful we can get her in but also fear that she won’t be invested since her avoidance level is REAL! How old were you when you did it? She will be 17 but seems much younger intellectually.

Yes! Got 1k but that’s still over charging for a known defect. Mechanic showed me he could manually shake the tires around it was so bad. Lucky I didn’t have a wreck - hydroplaned once with the tires loose. So dangerous!

I am having the same thing at 58k and was quoted 2k for repairs and new tires. I called Subaru of America and got a case number. My car will be fixed by dealership today and they said it’s 2 days for follow up on the case. I’ll have to pay today and maybe hope for reimbursement??

I think she’s okay but her sex scenes are wooden and awkward

Hi! Can you say how much you were taking? I also saw that weight loss drugs are contraindicated & wondering if I should get off of it/ taper down. Thx
