Fabulous post. I'm gutted it won't stay up for long but well done Annie! ??Comment left on her YouTube video:
Took early retirement last year from working in mental health and just wanted to say your post is bang on. ???Best title yet!
Only just managed to catch up but, as someone who works in mental health support, I am absolutely FUMING about the 'anxiety' chat. She has no idea of the damage she is doing to other people by self-diagnosing like that. As someone commented earlier, these influencers really need to learn the difference between a diagnosed Anxiety disorder and 'feeling anxious'. Likewise Clinical Depression and 'feeling depressed/low'.
Absolutely disgusting to use a debilitating disorder as a trend or a get-out-of-jail-free card, she should be ashamed.
Sorry I'm a bit behind the times on that one... it's taken a while to get up to date (good work Team Tattle, the threads are whizzing by!) but I was going to explode if I didn't vent about it.
As you were...
I’m sure that Reb is using mental health as a “get out of jail free card” but anxiety isn’t clear cut, and I’m no stranger to being dismissed because my experience of anxiety isn’t at the very extreme end of the scale. I’m in no way standing up for her, but I’ve met many mental health professionals who haven’t taken me seriously because I wasn’t bed ridden and able to do some “normal” tasks, such as go out with friends or work.Best title yet!

I think she is manipulating for her own gain. But I’ve had the worst experiences of being belittled because I could leave the house, etc.@FitiverMin, that’s such a shame about your experience with medical professionals :/ and you’re right, it affects different people differently, that’s why I don’t necessarily think that it’s not possible at all that she could have anxiety but I have my doubts based on how she has addressed this topic.
I do feel bad about everyone commenting on her posts and opening up to her and I’d hate to see her sitting there with her cuppa reading them with a smirk on her face because everyone bought her story. She does have a tendency to lie [emoji19]
thats shocking. I feel so bad for you not being understood. If only someone could ‘get’ it then it would help greatly ?I think she is manipulating for her own gain. But I’ve had the worst experiences of being belittled because I could leave the house, etc.
I was suicidal at a GPS appointment once, and my GP who was treating me for depression and bulimia said to me “well I don’t really know what you expect me to say to that.”thats shocking. I feel so bad for you not being understood. If only someone could ‘get’ it then it would help greatly ?
I have high functioning anxiety and can socialise, go to work, leave the house by myself, etc. Anxiety can be very well hidden for most, you’d never guess I have it but I am on medication to help as every time I come off it I have major anxiety attacks with heart palpitations which is terrifying!Yes I feel she is full of tit. People close to me can barely leave the house for school runs with anxiety let alone going to the gym, socialising with friends etc. We all knew it was coming at the weekend
