Sorry he made you feel that way
could be pretty catastrophic for people in an even more fragile state couldn’t it
Thank you, I really appreciate that. I was quite upset at the time but thankfully I’ve got the tools to deal with it now, and I’m absolutely fine.
It’s what frustrates me with the way influencers talk about mental health. I don’t doubt that some do have depression and/or anxiety. I wouldn’t be surprised if Rebecca does to some extent to be honest. BUT...even someone with a mental health problem can do damage when talking about it if not done right. Talking about it flippantly to thousands of people without stating the meaningful things you are doing to combat it is problematic. Especially if you’re an influencer who is trying to flog your lifestyle. “Look at me, I’ve got a mental health problem and I’m dealing with it in no other way than by buying stuff” is hugely damaging. Either talk about your mental health problems frankly and include what you’re doing to combat it (counselling, CBT, medication etc) or don’t mention it at all.
I know Daddy_to_triplet_girls has been less than complimentary about Tattle (I’ve already derailed the thread enough by bringing up ManvsBaby so I won’t go into it) but he covers his depression so bloody well. He is very open about his down days, his treatments, and recently pictured what medication he’s been taking, and I think it’s so important to normalise that, particular for men.
Yes I saw that comment and it was made by a guy that Reb met on some brand event thingy and she was so over excited on the vlog because he was on Bake Off.
Bake Off has been going so long that most people must loosely know someone who has been on it.
Also the spelling and grammar here is a lot better than I have seen on instagram.
Yes I saw that too and blocked him. I used to be the type of (insufferable) person who would point out someone’s poor spelling and grammatical errors. But then I realised it’s actually just a way to mock people who are less educated than me, and who was I to judge that? I’ve been far more fortunate than others (despite not coming from much myself) to receive quite a good education. Not everyone has the opportunities I’ve had (and mine are still small fry in comparison to what some people have had *cough* Reb *cough*) and who the
duck am I, or anyone else, to judge how intelligent other people are? It’s a tactic used to look down on the working class in particular, and minority groups less likely to able to access the same level of education as others. Plenty of people are more Han capable of having well thought out, reasoned ideas, thoughts and opinions and have shocking grammar and spelling skills!
