I hate it's okay not to be okay. Yes, we all have difficult feelings (not feels, Jack you bleep - further proof that she only exists on the internet), but we really shouldn't indulge them and spend all day unwashed and in bed.
Anyone who's suffered depression knows it can be a vicious circle: you don't want to do anything, so you don't do the things that normally make you feel better, and you feel worse.
Looking after your mental health doesn't mean going "I feel like tit, and that's okay! No more showers for me!" It means going "I feel like tit, I don't like feeling like tit, how can I stop feeling like tit? Maybe eat a depressipe?"
Yeah, it's definitely really *not* okay not to be okay, it's bleepingtit. You've described that so well! Also, just imagine turning to one of Jack's recipes as first port of call
Talking of 'not okay' (albeit in an entirely different sense) do any tech savvy Frauen know how long on average it would take to Photoshop a picture like Jack does? I'd be absolutely fascinated to know how much time out of her 90 hour weeks she spends doing that, but I've never opened Photoshop in my life and I'm entirely clueless.
- she had a surprisingly drama free Halloween/full moon
- she's resurrected #letdownlarder. the top answer is still "bung it in a curry"
- the portrait in the attic is aging terribly what with all the filters
- she stood on her dining room table to photograph her asda shop
- continues to send out contradictory messages re lockdown
- had The Fam for dinner. misty-eyed that she may not see daddy wearing his medals for the queens speech on xmas day
- is starting to tick stuff off my List

Why would they ask her? She can’t cook and with regard mental health she is-no help in that department at all, as she is so triggering.
but she does provide us with lots of content to amuse ourselves so I guess she does provide some sort of service
i wanted to comment on the previous thread but it’s closed!
what’s a gong bath?
my only disappointment is @Alansbigplate hasnt mackified the lounging sloth

I'm a yoga wanker and I've been to several gong baths. Let me enlighten you. In a gong bath, you lie on a yoga mat on a wooden floor in the dark with your eyes closed while the teacher bangs a huge gong. Sometimes quietly, sometimes really loud. Often there is a build up. The sound and vibrations make me feel all wonderful, though Mr H hate it when I dragged him along. No bathtub is involved in the process.
I think the thing I hate most about Jack’s utterly performative “it’s ok not to be ok” stream of wank, is that it’s so empty coming from someone who can and does access private healthcare to deal with her multitude of MH problems (although strangely avoiding the glaringly obvious personality disorder).
If you can’t afford to pay, NHS and non-paying support systems literally take months to offer any form of care that isn’t medication. Taking Jack’s route of wallowing in one’s sadness in that situation leads to a huge downwards spiral. Yet again she’s showing her arse because she has no idea what it’s like to go to a doctor and be told that she has to wait 8-12 months to see a qualified person; she just tells the doctor to diagnose her with ADHD and prescribe her some speed and bingo! She’s whizzing off her tits.
But we all know that Jack couldn’t give a diddly duck about anyone’s mental health, she just wants to go viral with this insincere Matt Haig bullshit.
Another thing I found in my trawl of her Instagram a few nights ago. I must confess I’ve been saving it to provide distraction when she’s in a twattery. I hope to high heavens that that squiggle had just painted it on & isn’t having to laser it off or arrange a cover-up so people think it’s Dot Cotton not Jackie McMonroe. Now duck off!
I wonder why she hasn't cut the grapes into teeny tiny pieces. The fact she does this with veg (buys soffritto from Waitrose), has resulted in her losing the ability to bite. A grape is hardly crunchy therefore requires very little pressure to bite through, why did it result in her biting right through her lip?
She has had her "snaggle tooth" all her life, so she should be used to it by now. I've got teeth like Red Rum, had years of orthodontic treatments and had 8 teeth removed to reduce crowding. Big teeth small jaw, so Jackie hasn't won that one. I still have one oddly aligned tooth. It hardly ever causes me an issue, because it is something that has always been there. If I bite my lip, it hurts for a few minutes and is sore for a day or so. It never results in me ending up with plump full luscious lips that lasts months.
Lip filler top up cover up story? No judgement here, she should just be honest and pay for it herself and not plead poverty. Though she should be careful, she could end up looking like Pete Burns, God rest him.

Well said, and it really isn't ok to not be ok. We've discussed this here before as many of us have experience of MH stuff. Sure, no one needs to bake banana bread or do gong baths (though I personally like both). No one needs permission from a Z-list cook to not do or like those things. Suggesting that
It’s okay to sit in your pyjamas eating crisps with your unkempt lockdown hair. It’s okay to leave the dishes. It’s okay to burrow into your duvet and let the world spin madly on around you.
is helping no one. Getting changed out of your pjs, brushing your hair, eating normal meals and normal times, keeping your home in a normal state and getting out of bed are more important than ever. Most of us don't have a choice in it anyway, as we are working. And no, I can't do my zooms in pjs in my bed eating crisps. And thank god for that. Anyone who knows anything about mental health knows that a routine and a sense of purpose are so important. If you are getting satisfaction and a sense of purpose by attending zoom gong baths, learning a language or baking, then bleeping go for it. The fact that she says people pretend to enjoy it says it all. It hasn't occurred to her that people may actually enjoy those things. She has zero empathy and she's doing noting useful by telling people it's ok to not be ok.
I first time I saw that ad was in her Apple, Pear and Sultana baked oats recipe. Genuinely thought it was a bit of the recipe at first. View attachment 297915

How can she really claim "...by Jack Monroe"? It's a smushed banana and 2 squares of chocolate stuck on the top, hardly an exclusive recipe, is it?
