But this is all Emma's known aside from her stint at the makeup shop
And it took her all day to make it bless her. What a tough Saturday shift that wasi can't believe this girl had the AUDACITY to claim she didn't get a day off on saturday because she baked a bleeping cake. get a grip
I agree that influencers and celebrities can certainly suffer with poor mental health, even when their lives sometimes seem easier than most, but is there not a tendency nowadays for people to use the words "struggle" and "bad mental health days" for just being a bit lazy and demotivated.I do think YouTubers/influencers do get more stick than they should for mental health, whilst they might have a more privileged life than the majority of people and their jobs may be easier, it doesn’t mean they’re not allowed to suffer from mental health issues, I know it seems unfair that they seem like they sit on their butts and watch Netflix and just bake and whatnot, it doesn’t mean they aren’t allowed to feel demotivated and struggle.
There have been many celebs who have suffered with mental health and have been close to suicide/have committed suicide when on the outside they look like they have easier lives than most, just because they seem privileged doesn’t mean they’re not allowed to struggle. I don’t want to stick up for Emma and I do agree that her life does seem easy and all she does is stew apples, but she is allowed to have bad days and struggle mentally
No one is taking away how she feels or saying she isn’t allowed to struggle or have bad days. I just personally feel that youtubers etc should at least acknowledge the privileged position they are in when they are talking about taking days off for their mental health etc due to their career allowing for that flexibility that’s all.I do think YouTubers/influencers do get more stick than they should for mental health, whilst they might have a more privileged life than the majority of people and their jobs may be easier, it doesn’t mean they’re not allowed to suffer from mental health issues, I know it seems unfair that they seem like they sit on their butts and watch Netflix and just bake and whatnot, it doesn’t mean they aren’t allowed to feel demotivated and struggle.

oh no don’t get me wrong, I know everyone can suffer poor mental health and I’m not saying she can’t or doesn’t, but she is in a more privileged situation than most of us. I’m very happy she feels better this week, nobody deserves to feel mentally not-okay, but that doesn’t excuse the fact that she has new excuses for missing uploads every single week without failI do think YouTubers/influencers do get more stick than they should for mental health, whilst they might have a more privileged life than the majority of people and their jobs may be easier, it doesn’t mean they’re not allowed to suffer from mental health issues, I know it seems unfair that they seem like they sit on their butts and watch Netflix and just bake and whatnot, it doesn’t mean they aren’t allowed to feel demotivated and struggle.

You do make some good points, but she has been open about struggling in the past with extreme sadness and anxiety and has recently been experiencing night terrors etc which can be quite dehabilating. Personally, I would say that I’m in a privelleged position in which I’m not a key worker and I work from home and I found the first lockdown very hard and when I wasn’t putting in 100% effort at my job some might of seen me as lazy but really my mental health wasn’t the best and was impacting my work - I’m not saying it’s a good excuse but a lot of people probably do feel similar. Someone mentioned Steph Toms and she has been very open with her mental health struggles but always says throwing herself into her work helps and it keeps her mind off of things, some people may go the other way and struggle to get things done because they feel low and demotivated.I agree that influencers and celebrities can certainly suffer with poor mental health, even when their lives sometimes seem easier than most, but is there not a tendency nowadays for people to use the words "struggle" and "bad mental health days" for just being a bit lazy and demotivated.
I can't diagnose anyone, and I don't know what Emma is going through - but from what we see of her daily life and from the privilege she has, it does feel as though she is suffering with a bad case of laziness, rather than genuinely suffering from a mental health issue.
#workethicbossbabeSooo no video tonight... at this point you really couldn't make it up
I don’t get why she doesn’t just stick to the weekly vlogs on a Sunday and then if she can be arsed do another mid week video as a bonus, like she clearly doesn’t careSooo no video tonight... at this point you really couldn't make it up
Sooo no video tonight... at this point you really couldn't make it up
Defo next thread title#workethicbossbabe
I 100% believe having little to no routine really does that to you. I get like it during my annual leave at times, especially at the moment and you cant fill your days like we used to. My ex was also self employed and was always in that mind frame too. I totally believe keeping your mind busy really really helps.Since being furloughed for most of the year, I think I finally kinda get why influencers are always so tired. I do so little now that sometimes I wear myself out by lunchtime doing general life admin like cleaning or meal prepping. I'm trying to actively do more things to stop myself falling down that spiral. Maybe influencers just need a few more hobbies? (at least I hope being more active will make me feel better)
