Not even watched these stories cause I can’t bring myself to, but this is very true, for many of us who feel overwhelmed or sad or under pressure or whatever having a sad day or just ignoring things isn’t an option… cause then the next day you’ve got work, houses, families etc to take care of and the pressure actually builds rather than goes away! But her daily responsibilities and ‘chores’ are so childlike that they can just wait til another day, that snd she’s got all the time in the world to wallow in her own filth in that bleeping bath!
So very true.
I am struggling with my mental health - last year before Covid it took a nose dive and I went to the locum go who, instead of listening to me, wrote a prescription for something and sent me out his office again in a few minutes. I never started the medication because a) I had no idea what I'd been prescribed or why and b) it was putting a plaster over a massive fissure of a cracked and hoping for the best.
Since then I've struggled on and there have been better days but there have been worse days - insomnia for days followed by crashing at 8pm putting the youngest to bed; not eating or eating everything; days when I can do stuff and feel good versus days when I don't want to get out of bed.
However I have two children, a husband who works shifts, a full time job and a house to run. I need to show up every single day.
I am on holiday this week, as are the kids, and I'd love to stay in bed and put off life admin but I can't. I've had the kids busy every day, three meals a day cooked (not a la carte but cooked), I've maintained the house and I've completed some CPD.
I am younger than Poppy. She needs to sort her
tit out. I'm not saying she needs to be married, or in a relationship, or even having kids. I'm not saying she needs to be a home owner. She does need to actually
bleeping work for a living and take responsibility for her life.
