TNM has started a petition to try and make it so social media requires ID to set an account up - Grinch would lose all her followers
My partner went to the darkest of places and I was afraid I would lose him. I did lose the man I fell in love with, for a long time he was a shadow of himself. It's been a long journey but that first time I heard him singing in the kitchen again, I cried, I knew he was coming back. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help, and a lot of strength to keep going til you find the right treatment but please help him keep going and keep going and keep going. And remember it takes a toll on you so make sure you have something to keep you going to. For me it's singing in a choir. My soul is restored every week. I'm here if you need anything xxxMorning all! Apologies for the absence I've been busy....
A) celebrating my own birthday. No DLP or self indulgent claptrap for lil ole me!
B) celebrating my sons engagement (which he did do in DLP)
C) most importantly... my husband is massively suffering with his own mental health, something he has battled with since his early 20s. He's had to take time off work he's so low and has booked a docs appt to get it looked at before it takes him to a darker place. Because of this the Caroline Flack thing really knocked me for 6 last night. Knowing my husband could easily get to this dark place really got to me and we just cuddled up on the sofa last night and watched a film in the dark. All sorts of thoughts going through my head. What if me or our daughter came home and found him. What could I have done that I didnt. Why didnt i see this coming.
Just generally overthinking (silly I know). So I had a bit of phone free time for a few days.
Sorry to hijack the Hinch post but i know we all support each other on here.
Thanks for listening

I’ve felt it too, after recently becoming a step mum to 10 and 7 year old boys who I love as if they were my own, I’ve felt under so much pressure and compared myself to their mum. I’ve been struggling with my mental health, had to take time off work which has resulted in my wages being reduced. I fell into the Hinch trap & was buying the products she was recommending. Thankfully my partner recognised I was struggling & has been an unbelievable support.Exactly...that is what annoys me, the damage she is doing to young Mums....making them feel insecure and unable to provide adequately for their children and I know....I am not making educated guesses, I have first hand knowledge!
And the comment at the bottom...I love you all...give me strength...3 million strangers??
I agree 110%Find it incredible that most influencers and celebs don’t understand the impact THEY have themselves on followers from the content they post on social media. Perfect lives, bodies, materialistic things - unachievable aspirations for the majorit. Harm to the general fan/public/follower.
Generally, people in the spot light want to be there. They want the positive attention but also want to know what the negative attention is too. It’s human nature. PR machines are there to control and manage this but there does need to be some consideration of the damage that fame and social media does to people’s mental health, harm to the celeb/influencer.
It works both ways. Is it the fault of the media, the papers, Facebook, Instagram, our species? I don’t know
I think we are mixing many different personalities into single platforms and then wondering where the problem lies...social experiment in itself! In real life you just wouldn’t mix with someone you didn’t like and you probably wouldn’t know or care if someone you didn’t know was gossiping about you in real life either. Social media and the general media makes it much easier to see this and for others to share amongst themselves and or globally which has a much larger impact. But it works both ways and I don’t think we can blame people’s mental health on the comments of strangers without addressing the wider issues that fame/social media in general has on mental health as a whole!
She claims to be trolled a lot....I’m yet to see anything on her posts, have you seen the vile messages on Caroline’s? That woman was hounded not only by the public but press and celebs!What's Hinch got to do with Flack anyway
She’s an experienced and capable saleswoman pretending to be a ditsy relatable woman who apparently has no idea how she got here. She’s encouraging vulnerable people to get into more and more debt to achieve her lifestyle while pretending to be their friend. But inconsistencies in her stories have proved time and time again that she is a complete and total liar.Hi everyone, can I ask a question please? Basically, I found tattle after falling down the PS rabbit hole (my instincts jumped in straightaway and this place has confirmed what I felt!). My question is, what kind of things has this Mrs Hinch thread series uncovered? I'm not a particular fan of her, do like Zoflora Tropical though! I think I've never jumped on her bandwagon because I know it's all a fake lifestyle anyway and I read she was in media marketing or something previously. So can you summarise 110 threads for me please!?!
My younger brother also took his own life 20 months ago, I couldn't of written this better myself ( I couldn't of put it into words, still can't)Ok, so I haven’t posted on a Hinch thread for months. But I really can’t keep this to myself.
A PERSONS SUICIDE IS NOT TO BE USED FOR CONTENT AND/OR ENGAGEMENT.
My brother took his own life. Years on we are still uncovering ‘reasons’, things that we just didn’t know, that cumulated in him making that awful choice. I can assure Mrs Hinch, along with all the other ‘influencers’ making this all about them, that the reasons run so much deeper than ‘nasty’ comments posted on lines.
These self-serving posts are at best tone deaf, and at worst a cruel attempt to garner attention. As someone who has has been through this, I can guarantee that these ‘woe is me posts’ are providing no comfort to Caroline’s family. They are however causing distress to people like me, who’ve lived through it. It’s high time Hinch considered the emotional & psychological impact of the content she puts out there. Starting with this one.
