Can you call a friend or family member? ?I don’t feel stable at all, I’ve relapsed with my eating disorder and I want to drink
I'm sorry you are still in hospital, my eldest was a poorly child, asthma attacks, you see. but there is nothing worse than having your baby ill - sending you love and prayers ?Just catching up - baby has been on me constantly as he won’t settle anywhere else whilst he’s poorly so have no hands to check my phone. Can only go to the loo and look at my phone during the brief times my husband comes to the hospital to visit. Am chuckling at the confusion on the last thread that I am a Meldrum?!!! Far from it!
Thank you for all your well wishes, we are still in hospital and baby is still very poorly sadly
You’re local to Aberdeen yes?I honestly don’t want to be here anymore
Please try to speak to a friend or family as soon as possible and get some help. Be kind to yourself. Sending love xI honestly don’t want to be here anymore
I know I don't know you and can't imagine what you are going through at the moment but you are stronger than you think. This quote sums up what I'm trying to sayI honestly don’t want to be here anymore
If you can reach out to a friend or family member or 116 123 for the Samaritans or if not had good experience with them try calm 0800 58 58 58.I don’t feel stable at all, I’ve relapsed with my eating disorder and I want to drink
Please call someone. You deserve to be here, and are worth it, you may not feel like that at the moment, and I'm sorry for that. I know it's hard to see 'what's the point' but you have fought hard before and came out the other side, you can do it again. Once you've had an eating disorder, it is a constant battle and yes you've relapsed but you can get back on track and are worth living and trying to do that. You just need the help. Please please get help. I'm sorry if this all has come across weirdly or wrong, Im just not very good at expressing my meaning very well. Big hugs to you xxxI don’t feel stable at all, I’ve relapsed with my eating disorder and I want to drink
I read this and just wanted to give you a hug. Along with everyone else struggling too. Mental health is an absolute bitch and I'm so sorry to all affected.@FitiverMin firstly, I just want to say thank you for sharing your story. Mental health needs to be taken seriously and you are so right just because you might look okay doesnt mean you aren’t suffering and in need of help. ?
I don’t personally suffer with mental health issues, but have a parent and a sibling who do. My parent has had severe mental health issues my whole life. I’ve seen my Mum be unable to physically get out of bed, wash and care for herself, even unable to feed herself during her bad days. I’m in my 30s now and my Mum can still be affected in this way. She has a social worker, but she’s only interested in supporting the social aspect of depression.. going for a coffee and cake, setting an alarm to get up and showered and dressed each morning. My mum can ignore calls from my siblings and I for days on end when she’s in the depths of depression, never mind meet a carer for a cuppa and a bun!
Just last week, my mum was struggling with her depression - it greatly affects her sleep and she goes from being up for 3 days to sleeping constantly.. she downed a bottle of wine at 7am in the hope of it helping her sleep. She then called the out of hours crisis line 6 times before hanging up... after this she called her social worker and left a message. That was the Wednesday and she didn’t call my mum back until 4:50 on the Friday night to say if she needed anything over the weekend to call the out of hours.
My sister deals with anxiety.. she takes medication for this. All be it a very mild dose but if my sister has a panic attack, that feeling something bad is going to happen she’s floored by it. She can’t get dressed, just wants to stay at home and hide away, can’t face anyone.. but to look at her you would never know it. She’s married with 2 kids and a nursing student..
This is the point when you are good and you’re feeling fine, outwardly you can look like you’ve really got your shit together. When you don’t “look” sick it’s hard for people to relate.
I genuinely hope that Rebecca isn’t using all this as a spin for some good engagement. Mental health is so important but when you look at what she is trying to post and then the stories Pat is putting up, not a care in the world. His stupid skits to try and seem like he’s so happy go lucky. Why is he not showing her more support? It’s such a sad state of affairs that now we have come to only expect the worst when it comes to these two. Even if she did do something genuine and sincere, she’s completely tarnished it with her past behaviours.
well, someone here said that Channel mum Mental Health Drive is focusing on Anxiety -I do have some issues with the way some of the Channel Mum vloggers operate. (Mostly my grievance is when they don't respond to your messages or comments-like they're too important. But, Rebecca never EVER responds to any positive conversation or comment I have ever made to her from my personal or professional pages. Maybe if she supported and helped start up pages ..they in turn would support her hugely when they're successful and it would help her seem more relatable and down to earth. #justsaying. That's something I want to do when we have reached a decent following.)
Having said all of that, THIS is probably going to prove a very unpopular opinion. But for some reason today I feel compelled to share it! Eek.
I do think sometimes it goes too far on this thread. Think about it.. if you were trying to make your living with now very OTT advertising rules and constant negativety/abuse and you read this forum about yourself... How would you feel? I'm guessing very low. Very worried. Very sad at times. Walk a mile in her shoes. She must feel very low. Imagine thinking that everyone in your town is talking about you, it must be bloody awful.
I am a mental health professional myself and to be honest she may have aggravated lots of people with her anxiety talk. But, just because she hasn't been formally diagnosed doesn't mean she isn't anxious. Come on people. You can't say she isn't suffering just because there is no formal diagnosis...we all know that is bullshit.
Many have the opinion that she should probably just not do this job it it is causing her to feel like this... I totally understand her wanting to do something that enables her to bring up her children without childcare... a job where you are your own boss. I'm currently on that path myself. That's the bloody dream! So I understand her trying to work through all the negativity.
Now, I'm not here to have a go. But I thought it might be nice for everyone to reflect on what they're actually saying and realise that she is only human with all the same worries and feelings as us.
I know this will probably prove unpopular but we are here to share our opinions and this is mine. ??
Pls call the Samaritans 116123 they are there 24/7 to listen. I’m sorry I can’t help more but talking to someone will help I promise xxxI don’t feel stable at all, I’ve relapsed with my eating disorder and I want to drink
Are you in need of anything? Adult conversation? I’ve no idea where you’re based but I’ve spent long periods of time in hospital with my eldest - first as a baby and then as a teenager with cancer - I know how awful it is. XxJust catching up - baby has been on me constantly as he won’t settle anywhere else whilst he’s poorly so have no hands to check my phone. Can only go to the loo and look at my phone during the brief times my husband comes to the hospital to visit. Am chuckling at the confusion on the last thread that I am a Meldrum?!!! Far from it!

Sorry you having a crap timeI don’t feel stable at all, I’ve relapsed with my eating disorder and I want to drink
Thank you! I honestly didn’t write any of that as looking for sympathy, at the end of the day it’s not my own battle but I do live it and it did have an impact on my childhood however I’m so aware of the people who truly need help and they should never feel alone or unworthy ?I read this and just wanted to give you a hug. Along with everyone else struggling too. Mental health is an absolute bitch and I'm so sorry to all affected.
if you have a screenshot tag @lola so she can find it easilyCan the channel mum thing be posted on Instagram extremely important I think that the managers are pushing anxiety
