No worries x I find it even more fascinating that after talking with you then have to see Hinch!
Do they know it's her?
Sorry,for all the questions but can I ask you if she directly impacted on your health?
It's definitely her! My Midwife sees her. We live very locally!
I wouldn't say that she directly impacted my mental health, I would more say that she impacts how it's perceived. I've had OCD since my teens and you mention it to people then it's instantly linked to cleaning so people assume that you obsessively clean. My OCD is process. I obsess about how things are done be it housework, my job and how I live. I don't obsess about doing housework, if that makes sense.
I do think that Mrs H is on an ideal platform especially for women to show real life and unfortunately she doesn't utilise it. She shows her perfect little life when in real terms we all know it's not. That saying just because she's in the public eye doesn't mean that we should get a 24/7 access to her life and struggles. It's a fine balance.
One thing that did affect me was that knowing we were sharing the same midwife team and her frivolous approach to lockdown and social distancing - I did obsess to some degree about 'catching' something from one of my appointments. This wasn't just indicative of Mrs H but did open my eyes to the risks she was taking and how others out there would take the same risks and put those of us that were shielding and being responsible at risk, also our midwives which through my conversations with them were a concern too.
