First of all, please don't attack me, I don't have anything against the episode or topics. It's amazing representation, but it's really painful.

Starting at age 12-13, I suffered from major depression and developed a severe panic disorder. At the age the characters are, about 14-16, I was a lot like Aglae (with different phobias) at the start of the episode on, sadly, many of my better days. I am way better now, but there are just certain things I still can't watch, because it causes flashbacks.

It's just too painful to watch, but I physically can't watch it any further. I'm in minute 6 and just really worried it'll trigger my trauma. (It already is...) That is why I'm asking.

Can someone please sum up all important developments and plot points for me?

Thank you in advance!

For example, I've recently been seeing an advertisement for male shaving stuff. It makes sense to show chest shaving if you're trying to sell a razor, but why on earth do we need to see the guy showering with the picture zooming in from chest, over stomach and then stopping a millimeter over "this is just porn"?!

Perfume ads are straight-up fever dreams anytime, but I'd love to see way fewer ads with the theme "look, we put fog over the wiener!" or "why should he be wearing the underwear we are selling the whole clip? Let's zoom in on him putting it on, boxers snatching into place dramatically and LOOK! WE ZOOMED IN ON THE BALLROOM!" I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANY MORE OR LESS FAMOUS GUYS BALLROOM UP CLOSE!!!

*takes a deep breath*

Is that just me? Is that a lesbian thing? Is there a way to block these?!

Idk gays, ads with next to naked people, especially men, make so incredibly uncomfortable! There literally was an add on free TV last year for health insurance, where people of different ages were playing table tennis together BUTT ASS NAKED for literally no reason! Before you ask, as long as the genitals aren't shown and you don't see the nips, it is legal.
