Mikhila McDaid #14 Jabbing at prodacts with her dirty nails then wonders why her engagement fails

[Delia Smith]

A forced routine, like having to go into the office, would do her the world of good. Full time work would be even better.
She can't be getting much done slobbing about at home watching The Holiday on repeat when she's supposed to be working. She's either sat watching TV or manically ruining her house. There's no middle ground with her.

Sounds all very bipolar or manic depression to me. But maybe that’s not the trending illness du jour..

And god this is not a mean remark - it’s from experience - my own and what she shows of herself. Makes no odds to me.

Did she stop going to the office? At one point she was due back, and consequently bought a whole load of office outfits. It would do her good to go back in, I don't love the office but I do see the value in going in and interacting with those not just in the immediate groups I speak to when WFH.
She did say she was going to make an effort to leave the house and socialise more this year which has got to be a good thing. For the last couple of years she's interacted in person with such a small group of people (she doesn't get out the car for school run etc) and spent way way too long talking too/about herself, totally over focused on aspects of her health (the neck problem etc) whilst neglecting the glaringly obvious (to us outsiders looking in) issues.

She bought the office outfits when she was telling everyone she was going to get a promotion. She applied then i think they actively encouraged other internal applicants after she did this (which says a lot) and they employed her colleague. She set herself up for a massive fall. Not for applying for the job but by oversharing, she thought it was in the bag and then she'd created a situation where she had to share her disappointment with everyone when she wasn't selected

Kinda serves her right for only doing her application presentation the night before. She shares way too moch. Her managers would see that and swerve her.

If it was a role with more responsibilities and authority (we think it was) they would not want her flaunting herself and weird lifestyle all over YouTube and SM would they.

Mrs all or nothing! But seriously re whatever may be up with her, I saw a vid where she was talking mental health from 5/6 years ago the other week - and it’s all the same stuff - I’d even go so far as to say she’s much more manic now.. or has been pre meds. And that she knows - or would - if she watches herself back.

She knew she needed some real help - why it took so long I don’t know. Unhelpful husband? In denial? Definitely not too busy. She knew there was a risk post kids’ birth, from family history of it… I share many similarities with her, very many, in terms of history, but I have had to resort to help out forced of circumstances.

More mine being slower build before I break and harm myself. She definitely seems to flip quicker - and swing in her mood. I used to (or still could) swing between fine and anger. I think her high is manic or mania or whatever it is called.

I feel for her - just not when she knows there’s an issue but ignores it. I have family members who do this. It’s hard to have sympathy sometimes, maybe I’m hardened to it?

I forgot all about the promotion stoff. If her managers are aware of her YouTube etc they may well see what she's posting during working hours. Or, her colleagues definitely will, and it will get talked about in the office. I'm sure that went some way to them thinking she wasn't management material at the moment.
I imagine they can also tell she has not been fully focused when at home.

I bet "weekly" vlogs last 3 weeks!

 

[Tom_Nook]

She covers 5 days within the first 4 and a half minutes, that's the level of effort. I gave up when I realised the last half of the video is her blabbering in a face mask and a grey sweater. Not sure what I expected, silly me!

 

[Bojangles]

Well that’s 10 minutes I’ll never get back I knew I should have just put the bins out and stopped procrastinating!

 

[Yoko]

When she weekly vlogs it really highlights how little she does with her life.

 

[Lola123]

Milo’s into football but not once did she mention about making him try it at a club or even after school… seems like they don’t even try and encourage him to do anything after school

 

[ChartreuseAndPink]

I prefer weekly vlogs but i don't really get the need for it unless you're doing interesting things and going places daily. I'd never vlog for so many reasons one of them being my weekly life would be way too boring for someone else to enjoy.

I'm not sure what i think about this whole mental health and medication updates plan either. She's not dr alex. She seems to think medication is a personality trait

 

[WishingWellxx]

That's the first video in a while where she's seems a little more positive. When she talked about post natal depression, did she ever get therapy for it?

I feel in a few weeks she'll be back in the same position, taking tablets while it dies help you also need to make lifestyle changed and I really don't think she will change a thing.

 

[Delia Smith]

Has she delete the post she made yesterday about the hollister jumper she’s bought that makes her feel like an 80’s American Mom?!

No it’s still there?

 

[Delia Smith]

Ahhh I see it now. There is nothing ‘80s Mom’ about that jumper.
But she’ll be wearing it for weeks now I’m sure.

 

[IrishName]

Wtf is this American 80s mom dream?
Eh?
I am so confused?
The mum from ET? Orrrrr? What?
Which TV show has she claimed this from.

 

[bystanderbynature]

Just the title of her first blog says it all. She sees this as a fresh start - a January thing - a new life on antidepressants thing. Like it’s going to be something that does itself with no effort from her - like all big changes of hers. That envisaging thing, like diary keeping or whatever it’s called nowadays with stickers and tit. Like video making being therapy for her, talking all her problems to complete strangers.. just don’t have a good feeling here, but hope so for her.
Why must everything be so immediate and easy? It’s gen zee for sure..

she certainly seems calmer and more at peace but her habits are what will pull her back down in my opinion, her junk eating, her late nights and late mornings, her lack of exercise, her lack of social life, her lack of actually eating rewarding and fulfilling hobbies, her superficiality and shallowness.. all these things will fight against the medication in my view. And don’t get me started on over caffeineating and bloody energy drinks…

No idea what an 80s American mom dream is. Are those the 'magic jeans' but in the smaller size that she can only stand in? They look painful.
