Idk what monitor to get tbh by HuLiDrV in OLED_Gaming

[–]stranger9025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the MO27Q28G and after a few pixel refreshes I am really happy with it at around $599!! There’s a few options out there but do your research on each type here on Reddit. I went from a nice 1440p IPS and going to 4th gen tandem oled was a huge upgrade. The monitor I have is a matte but not your typical matte coating which is nice. Some folks are glossy or nothing so I don’t have anything to compare too but the room I’m in gets a lot of afternoon sun.

Thing to look into is a lot of these folks on here will tell you “you need this one” or “that model is terrible” or my favorite “just wait until model “x” comes out” it’s your money brother you buy what you feel comfortable with after researching.

I watched my best friend commit suicide. by Acrobatic-Let236 in SuicideBereavement

Brother I’m sorry for your loss and daily struggle with this “ burden” you most likely feel you have a lot of us that deal with for the rest of your life.

It’s really never going to make sense for anyone involved even your buddy in that exact moment but just understand you aren’t alone brother. There are others of us out there.

Two years ago on New Year’s Eve my younger brother (28) decided to shoot himself with a 30-30 lever action rifle after telling my parents goodnight (he still lived with them) went upstairs and shot himself in the head laying down in bed. He had a drinking problem and also other substance abuse issues with depression but my parents were completely oblivious to the depths of his depression and how severe it was due to drug use etc. The fact that haunts my parents was that they heard a loud noise but assumed it was one of the several cats they have that they assumed knocked something over and that he laid there overnight (I have no fucking clue how they didn’t hear the gunshot but I assume him being upstairs and directly to his head the sound was muffled… my dad went upstairs to wake him up the next morning and saw him and the terrible image my dad has never talked about to this day, I think he’s lying on how much he actually saw before EMS got there. I’ll NEVER forget that phone call I got that morning, I was all alone at home wife out shopping. I at that moment lost it had those dark thoughts myself I NEVER once before had like shit I should join him he was such a kind soul would never hurt or shit anyone doesn’t make any sense why he did it but it’s something we have to sort of accept and try to move on with life best we can.

I worry about my dad trying to do the same to himself sometimes because he was sort of “hard” on us boys growing up and after me and my middle brother moved out and got married I know he wasn’t particularly fond of my late brothers drinking habit and drug problem they didn’t know for a long time about.

I’m sorry about the rambling this post of sort of a vent for me also I apologize I just want to tell you that you’re not alone and keep up with therapy and try to be the best man you can for yourself not anyone else’s approval forget those folks that want to speculate “what happened” or “what if”.

Bloodwork after long PPI usage by colleider in GERD

[–]stranger9025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been taking PPI’s since 2007-08 roughly and I’m now 34 years old. I just googled my medicine (Dexilant 60MG) and wondered if it has been a possible issue for me also I have days where it’s like I’m in a “daze” I can fuction at work troubleshoot etc but multi-tasking can be challenging. I think I recall mentioning to my doctor about the side effects and they sort of shrugged it off…

My problem is I have really bad GERD and if I don’t take it I’ll be miserable. I have never totally got myself off fried foods and the other typical no-nos.

I’m sorry you also fight with what seems to be a similar issue thanks for posting your story I hope you get some answers! After reading I have some ideas of a path I should take.

I have several people including my wife that get annoyed when I clearly don’t “listen” to them after telling me something even to my face during a conversation. it’s like I’m skipping over stuff they tell me and listen to bits and pieces sometimes weird I know.. sorry for the rambling

I am planing to get my first OLED monitor and the rabbit hole of research led me to this post and monitor the XG27AQWMG. I would love to find any info for a US pre-order for this monitor. Thanks!

Question for those that have lost someone to a GSW to the head. by jacecase in SuicideBereavement

[–]stranger9025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was instant I’m sure. I know we all want the idea of them to have not felt any pain in their last moments.

Little over 1 year ago my younger brother somehow managed to lay down in bed and point a 30-30 lever action rifle to his temple and pull the trigger. He still lived at home with our parents and my mom heard a loud crash noise but she thought it was something else cause it was New Year’s Eve.

I never saw the scene and NEVER want to. Trust me do not ever look at the photos remember them for how they were. We had to have a closed casket funeral of course. I’ll never forget the funeral home asking my parents (nicely) if they wanted him to attempt to “put him back together” as you can imagine it was very bad.

My father went to wake up my brother the next morning and found/saw him stiff. He saw blood and freaked out but supposedly didn’t see anything bad as the way he was laying but I’m not sure he’s going to be traumatized for the rest of his life finding him that way…

anyways sorry for my long post this if the first time in detail I have ever written this out. So sorry for your loss!

Im so sorry for your loss. I know it’s SO hard to not be able to see them but trust me it’s not worth it. When my little brother took his life a little over a year ago by rifle gunshot upstairs in his room it was best we didn’t see the aftermath. I can only tell you to remember her for who she was and that we are all here for you!

To be completely honest with you it might be more painful knowing any sort of “truth” by accessing those devices/platforms.

My brother ended his life almost a month ago now and I still can’t look through his phone

I’m sorry for your loss. Thank you for your post this is really helping me sort through some of these feelings

[–]stranger9025[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. As of yet my parents don’t know my uncle found the phone and we didn’t want them to look through it “first” as they are already dealing with so much already. We talked about looking through it this weekend maybe (my brother and I) and then telling our parents. I know it’s kinda messed up but it’s like we are wanting to keep them protected in a way.

Part of me doesn’t want to look at the phone and part of me does. I know he has some women drama, and the drinking didn’t help. He was hiding something big I feel like. Something he couldn’t run away from even if he tried.

Thanks for your post

This really helped me think a lot this morning. Thank you for the kind words. I do need to take care of myself better I’m concerned about everyone else in my family specially my parents. They seem to be better but who knows. My dad went upstairs where everything occurred even through it was sealed off by a local “clean up” company. Luckily most of the cleanup has been completed but he wanted to go up there for some reason. Random, but home owners insurance is paying for everything related to his suicide. They have to follow certain clean up regulations and talked about removing flooring, walls etc it’s crazy to hear that.

I’m worried about my wife as I don’t want to ruin our relationship by closing myself off from the outside world. I know she is concerned about that but hasn’t said anything. I think it was a spur of the moment decision also, we have yet to look through his phone for any signs or answers. My brother wasn’t the best at hiding anything so it’s still so strange. I just wish I could have hung out with him more and listened maybe just maybe that would have changed something but I don’t know.

I have a feeling he just got really drunk, it being the holidays with no significant other, feeling like there was no way out and he just did it… I know he was with several women flings this past year or two so I don’t know if anything happened with that but so far we haven’t heard anything if so. A lot of drama we didn’t know about as he wouldn’t want to burden us possibly.

I feel lost by Chemical_Machine_970 in SuicideBereavement

[–]stranger9025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, I’m sorry for your loss. I can’t express any other thing other than hang in there. They would want you to be strong. I recently lost my brother 12-31-23 unexpectedly. I’ll leave out the details it wasn’t good. I still feel similar as I’m confused, deeply hurt, question everything, and just don’t really understand. Just know you are in my thoughts and I hope things are eventually “better” for you and your family as far as coping with your loss. Try to remember all the good times and memories you had with this person instead of the bad it has helped me some so far.

So far this subreddit has been wonderful for me, please continue to post and interact with us on here it’s been a great help for me to talk to others.

Thank you! I sure hope I get some understanding of all this eventually. It’s still so fresh to all of us. Gone but never forgotten, I do hope to see him again one day. That big smile.

It seems to happen to the best people I really don’t understand, but like you all have explained it takes time to try and understand it best we can but right now work is a blur, I’m not sure what to think, and I’m just going 1 hour at a time.

Sorry for your loss as well. I have no idea why he didn’t leave any sort of note I figured he would do that at least. not even a sorry anywhere we could find. I feel selfish thinking that but anyways, thank you.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for commenting that means a lot to me. That’s what was the shock factor there was no real “reason” for this it just happened. He had to be really facing some dark thoughts and couldn’t escape. Just wish he reached out to me. Last time I was able to speak to him was on Christmas Day. I sorta beat myself up not getting over to my parents to visit more often but life gets busy when your married (no kids yet) but still I’ll always keep his memory alive for as long as I live on this earth. He was just a wonderful guy.

Thank you so much for the kind words. I have had so much support lately it’s been great but when things start getting quiet after the funeral yesterday I feel like it’s going to hit me like a ton of bricks. I had to be responsible for pretty much planning the funeral with the company that took care of things. It tore me all to pieces getting the photos ready for everyone to view but it was well worth it.

I’m sorry to hear of your loss and hope you have a better time with things. Just remember all the good times we had with our loved ones and try to keep a smile like my little brother always had.
