Totally agree the fact that she has depression is obvious but I'm talking about the medication, she didn't want to reveal that originally.

I can actually respect that. She’s honest about the feeling of shame that is often an issue for people. Maybe I’m in the minority but she is being real when she shares that stuff and I think it does help people. We can’t admonish public figures for speaking out about mental health or about the way they do it. I read a lot of comments where people also felt that weird combo of shame and hating that they needed the meds, but also knowing that they needed the meds. I think it’s good to talk about that stuff to make people feel less alone about all of the feelings that go along with it. It’s not easy to admit you need help and I think whatever mix of feelings you have is okay.
Her very obvious eating disorder is the reason behind her depression and the sooner she admits it to herself the better, she'll be posting a video in the next couple of years "trying on my daughter's clothes"I'm watching the newest vlog, I really can't stand her anymore, she goes "I fit into my jeans from before I was pregnant!!!!! But losing weight doesn't matter" like obviously to you it does just be bleeping honest about it and move on. And then through you the entire vlog she's spoiling Flynn beyond belief, like all the packages were "for him" imagine how much stuff she used to be sent to the PO Box for Flynn and would gift him, IMAGINE IF THE THE PO BOX WAS STILL OPEN!!!! Then when they got food and she was like "oh my god my mom's order is all messed up then just doesn't give a tit and stuffs her mouth instead. I feel like I'm crazy watching this stuff, this isn't normal!!! This is narcissistic behavior!!!! Maybe that therapist she fired told her she was a narcissist and she didn't like it so she fired hermaybe that's why she doesn't have one currently cause they all tell her the same thing and how she'll put that behavior in her children.
They're all on the payroll so can't say anything.
I don't see how Colleen hiding things and admitting she is ashamed like everybody else in the comments is going to remove the very stigma that makes people feel ashamed. People talking about being ashamed doesn't rewind time and make people not ashamed. All Colleen has done is contribute to the fact that shame is a compulsory part of the process because we live in a society that makes people feel that shame. She has a public platform that could help prevent people feeling shame with depression, or taking medication for depression, yet all she's done is validate people's shame by sharing her own shame and validate the stigma by not being open initially.
If she had come out and said, "I'm taking medication for my depression and actually I'm really proud of getting help for myself, I'm not ashamed, I don't want to hide it, this is normal and it makes me no less of a person" then that would've been a positive influence. There's no point her coming out and saying something relatable but still stagnantes progress which is what she has done.
Just caught up in vlogs and both babies have weird heads
Actually I think her admitting she is ashamed will really resonate with those who also feel the same. It must be hard to have people come out and say ‘I am so proud of myself for this..’ and other sufferers of depression wonder why they can’t feel the same.
I’m not defending Colleen but there’s two ways this could go and it’s best she’s honest about her shame etc, than lying about it.
It'd be good if she felt shame in other areas of her life then she might change her ways and respect her children's privacy.
It'd be nice if we all earn a bit of money out of sharing our shame for being depressed
All the children in that family have been used as cash cows so it’s no shock she is using her kids as the same. Perhaps she started it with the nieces and nephews, I’m not sure, but her brother Chris has his kids really raking in the dough I bet lol
Yeah. Their content makes me uncomfortable.
HAHAHA in her latest video Colleen gaslights her audience for commenting that her nursery was gendered. ‘Who says the blue bed is for Wesley and pink is for Maisy? YOU guys are deciding they’ve been given those colours, not me.’
AND IT IMMEDIATELY CUTS TO A CLIP WHERE MAISY WEARS PINK AND WESLEY WEARS BLUE
she is so full of tit. What a hypocrite:
AND IT IMMEDIATELY CUTS TO A CLIP WHERE MAISY WEARS PINK AND WESLEY WEARS BLUE
she is so full of tit. What a hypocrite:
Sometimes Maisy wears a bow on her head, but I've never seen Wesley wearing a bow on his head
And later in the same video Maisy is wrapped up in a pink blanket. Proof Colleen just says this stuff to appear woke but it’s all performative.
I couldn’t comment on what colour blanket Wesley had because surprise surprise - she didn’t show him, only Maisy, her clear favourite
It was more the way she worded it for me, she kept saying she didn't want to take medication, nobody wants to take medication,if the choice was given to get better by just what you're doing of course everyone would take that option but unfortunately it's not.
Just imagine what her mental health would be like if she didn't have the option to work from home, to have her husband home all the time, to have her mother help regularly, to have the possibility of a nanny, to be financially stable etc etc but the mention of shame from taking meds for depression makes her so relatable to her fans. I don't find her relatable. And what was that segment in the podcast about "you're rich when...your stairs are carpeted, you eat at cheesecake factory, blablabla". I'm sure plenty of people resented that pure nonsense. A lot of people struggle financially and work a lot harder than her and her husband, can't they occasionally treat themselves and not be judged as being "rich" like it's a bad thing.
Shame is part of it for so many people - my point was admitting that shame is a normal feeling to have is a good thing. I've been through this personally, and work in mental health so I know firsthand that this is one of many normal feelings to have when you reach out for help. Yes, of course I wish it was different, but hiding parts of her feelings doesn't advance the removal of any stigmas either. I find the honesty refreshing, that's all. I disagree that it stagnates progress in any way.
From your experience is being ashamed of one's own depression a medical symptom of depression or a symptom of how society stigmatises depression?
But she did hide her feelings. She admitted that she kept deleting any segments in her vlogs where she spoke about her shame and her meds

What's the *bIg SeCrEt*? Cba to watch
It's probably a bit of both. Hence the deleting and then finally deciding to talk about it. I don't know about you, but I'm VERY hard on myself, and I think many people are the hardest on themselves.
That she went on medication for her PPD
Thanks. God, she's annoying. As if that's some 'big secret'. She is getting treatment for your mental health as many, many people do. Don't need to use it as click bait.
