The way that she talks so flippantly about her 'complex PTSD'. I'm not sure she even knows what complex PTSD is. She has never spoken about what this trauma is, which is her perogative, but it does make it sound like she is just making it up as she goes along a bit.
And all this talk of 'therapy'. It must be nice to be able to afford to go in and out of therapy whenever you feel the need for the rest of your life. It's about 40 quid a session. Meanwhile those who are relying on the NHS are waiting months and then getting 6 online sessions. Victoria Eames always goes on about how 'everyone should go for therapy' as well, in fact it's quite an Instahun thing isn't it?
exactly this. she was ranting that people don't believe her when she talks about her "trauma" - yet it's hardly surprising when her story and supposed diagnoses change each time she mentions what happened, and becomes more and more dramatic and exaggerated. i don't trust her, because it just seems as though she is collecting mental illness diagnoses like
bleeping pokemon cards - initially it was "trauma" she claimed it have experienced, always very vaguely mentioned with no details, and then suddenly it was childhood abuse, quickly followed by a supposed diagnosis of PTSD, which escalated to "complex PTSD", with her then revealing she was hospitalised die to suicidal idealisation - presumably a voluntary admission, as she hasn't
yet claimed to have been sectioned - which has now evolved into claims that she "
almost killed herself" - which implies she actually took steps to end her life and almost died as a result, which are two distinctly different scenarios. i think she realised that using certain terms and hashtags resulted in her posts receiving more attention and increased her audience, so she is fully exploiting that. and then, when people - understandably - question her lies, she immediately launches into a rant, angrily labelling anyone who doesn't blindly believe every word she says as a "
bleep". she's truly vile.
mental illness is nothing to feign or exaggerate. if she wants to talk about her "trauma", fine - if she doesn't, fine. but vaguely referring to "trauma" and "therapy" and "triggers" and "abuse", dropping a trail of breadcrumbs to lead people to her book and encourage them to purchase it, under the illusion that it is filled with further details is manipulative and truly
bleeping appalling. and quite frankly, if she doesn't feel ashamed of her behaviour and her decision to minimise mental illness for her own gains, her "therapy" obviously isn't helping.
