Pretty sure she says she gets an injection too, cba to look at it.

In my experience setraline works for me fine and my side effects are minimal, I'm just extremely fatigued 24/7. I take other meds too though so it's something hard to tell what is and what is not a side effect.

I just don’t get her. She says she doesn’t have a sex drive but why is everything she does so sexualised? Like, that ticks off another box on the BPD spectrum. You do not need to post sex stories, sex toys or pictures in your underwear. I would say self love is taking care of your body nutritionally (eating a balanced diet), physically (exercise) and mentally (routine, self care etc). Showing these images that can be found anywhere online is not going to help her when she needs to get a job in the future and it just gives off a whole sleezy vibe in my opinion. What do you think? I know I’m quite a reserved person so I wouldn’t be caught dead doing that so maybe I’m more of a prude?

She always says how she and James don't ever have sex but he's OK with it. I don't understand how any man would be ok with that. Also, always talking about masturbation and flogging sex toys in another breath. I don't get it.

She just launched her new pride thing and it says a donation will be made to a charity but hasn’t said a percentage or anything. Also saying she aint doin it for a profit like Its a business she is obvs making profit off such expensive clothes. The artwork was done by someone else too I wonder if they have been paid fairly? Cashin in on pride so classy.

I thought this! Also would love to know if the artist who did the designs was part of the lgbt+ community? Because that would truly be supporting pride. Otherwise it’s just performative.

Does anyone remember when she mentioned doing some kind of meet up? I think it was around 2018 time Wonder if that ever happened..

I remember this, she was going to do a meet in a Costa in Birmingham I think. But possibly cancelled it last minute?

 

[Instafamous1]

I just think she is trying to do a 'shock factor' which isn't going to work as masturbation isn't taboo anymore. I get what you mean and remember her saying that, so she has contradicted herself just for a partnership with sex toy companies

Yeah I remember she did a whole post on that and how her medication takes away her sex drive and that her partner is ok with it and supports her

Here we go again

Recycled content

When I moved out I didn’t have scales just because I didn’t think to buy them and I put on 3 stone because I had no idea what weight I was. They are vital in my life

I don't have scales and it's absolutely dangerous, just need to trust my body

Long time lurker of tattle but thought I would break my silence to articulate some of my opinions for my first post on this dinky lil thread... sorry this is gonna be a long ramble. Apologise as well if I relate this too much to myself and make typos!

I follow Liv and think she seems like a nice but awkward girl. She doesn't come across as malicious and she seems to stay clear of "influencer drama"*. Unfortunately, I think she doesn't really have the drive to have social media as a full time job. She probably spends hours on her feed and engaging with fans but her content is just kinda bland. Her mental health may be a reason for that, too, however - mental health impacts everyone differently and she may struggle to be creative when her moods are low.

On the topic of alcohol issues, I agree that she probably wasn't an alcoholic or drug addict but that doesn't mean she didn't have a problematic relationship with alcohol. As someone with MH issues myself I stay clear of consuming too much alcohol because if I go over a limit then I can really mess myself up mentally. I know a lot of people who are similar to me and some people can easily manage that limit and still drink regularly. Others cannot and anytime they drink they end up in a situation that puts them in danger. Another reason could be that she was too heavily relying on alcoholic and it was easier to cut it out now before it became an addiction/dependence that is harder to manage. Also, medication reacts badly with alcohol and if you're on a lot of meds you're not *really* supposed to drink.

In terms of her ED, I believe she has BED as she claims as a result of never having proper treatment for her bulimia. However, she probably also has (ON TOP OF THE BED) a rather sedentary lifestyle and doesn't keep a balanced diet. I think she wholly bought into the whole self love stuff with "eat cake for breakfast! have mcdonalds every night for dinner! fuck it" BS and beginning to accept and love your body and "fuck" diet culture (with the support of the bopo movement and her followers) made her gain weight. Instead of reacting badly to it, she accepted it and embraced her body - and honestly, all power to her. I've gained a lot of weight in the past few years because of various reasons (mainly due to an injury and medication) and I really hate it/feel very self conscious, I know it makes me unhealthy and I'd like to change that but seeing bigger girls love their bodies makes me feel less crappy in mine for the time being. But, I think, alongside this "fuck diets eat what you want" crap that she is ALSO binging too. A friend of mine had BED and gained 70 lbs in about 5 or 6 months. She would often post pictures on her insta if she was having something indulgent like a takeaway or fancy slice cake but there was a lot more going on behind closed doors. Instead of just having the once slice of cake she would end up binging and eating the whole cake plus whatever else she could get her hands on. Binging is secretive and shameful so of course Liv wouldn't have shared her worst binges and if she did, its because she wouldn't have realised it was binging.

I think even if she is disgusted at herself right now and feeling really shameful that she knows she has an image to uphold and loving her body "flaws n all" fits in with that mentality although I do understand that it seems contradictory if she's seeking help.

The whole mantra of the bopo movement is that people are still of value even if they're disabled/fat/ill/unconventional and I think that is great. Showing the raw side of mental illness and that there is no one standard size should be promoted more. However, the community is often used to romanticise unhealthy lifestyles and back people into a corner of blind acceptance of their fate. Recovery and treatment are great and people should be encouraged to seek avenues to help themselves where possible. People should be valued wherever they are in their journeys and not seen as lesser because of it but to keep people at square one or down a path of further destruction because of a false idea of "authenticity" is really harmful. I think the community does this to many young impressionable girls and can often become a further way to hurt, not heal.

I do wish her all the best and I hope if she reads this she doesn't think this is me being nasty for the sake of being nasty, I do enjoy her content for the most but her being out on the public eye means she will have people commenting and speculating about her.

* with the exception of the selfloveclubb/milliekeepsgoing stuff (that I really want to know the tea from).

Dont really buy into her not getting the right treatment for bulimia. She was saying not so long ago shes always had the right and good treatment from her mental health team

It's because she's pure bone. Lazy lazy lazy! Feel sorry for her boyfriend.

Taking a few days off ok pet take a break don’t work too hard xx

oh my Christ

 

[ChampagneBox]

No worries. I used to not mind Rishi but now I think he’s a prick too. He lies and exaggerated things too but not to the extent Milly did I must say. He’s one where all he’s bothered about is how he looks to other people and people being impressed by him.

I thought it was big of him to take her back after she slept with his best friend and plastered it all over Facebook and Instagram.

He’s supposed to be a pharmacist but now is apparently making onlyfans content with her

I thought he was a lawyer?? But I may be wrong

 

[Cookiemonster83]

Pure ugly, in every sense of the word.

 

[goodgod]

Be interested to see how long she is gone.


Also finding a balance. You literally need to turn off notifications and log out of Instagram? Yes it requires some discipline and will, but I can't imagine having Instagram as a job and never switching it off? You need to keep some time to yourself, like any job.

I’m not convinced she has bipolar from the way she talks about her mental illness online imo and I guess it bothers me a bit. I have bipolar (type 2) and was in a relationship with someone who has BPD and every time I watch a story of her sobbing and then an hour later she is happy because loads of people have said how amazing she is, that is typical BPD behaviour. Contrary to popular belief bipolar isn’t when your moods change several times a day (yes even rapid cycling bipolar) you typically have depressive or manic/hypomanic episodes lasting over a week minimum and they aren’t influenced by perceived (or real) rejections, slights by people, abandonment etc etc. Read the DSM and you’ll see what I mean. I actually like Liv a lot, she’s one of the good ones in my opinion but it rubs me the wrong way when there is misinformation of an already very misunderstood mental illness on a large social media platform. And I think she’d benefit from seeing a psychiatrist instead of a GP to manage her mental illness, BPD or bipolar whatever she has they are serious mental illnesses and need to be managed by a professional. She could look into mental health clinics near her I think that would be beneficial.

Completely agree with a lot of what you’ve said! I would assume that she’s already under a psychiatric consultant as she’s on a depot so would be attending a clinic for that.

 

[obviously....]

So she has...

Bipolar
Eye distonia
She has been an alcoholic
She has had bulimia
She has binge eating disorder
She has been a self harmer
She has attempted to attempt suicide (yes, attempted attempted)

I cant think of anything else

Fucks sake!!!

It’s weird as fuck. You’ve probably seen but she went from saying she had stage 4 cancer to in remission in a matter of weeks. She also put a post on Facebook, I don’t remember the exact wording but I would be able to find it eventually as lots of us screen shotted it but she would post about going to chemo and she ‘met a little boy who was telling her about his cancer treatment’ etc- the ward she would receive treatment on didn’t have children on there and there was no way she’d have come into contact with a child there. Personally I think it was a cancer scare or a much lower grade and she lied then panicked when it started to run away with her. Rishi went with it but at the time she was suddenly with his best friend anyway so I imagine it was easy to lie or exaggerate things

This is mental. She was so blatant in asking followers for money!

 

[Hannybun01]

It CAN be hard to remember to take ur meds especially at the start. But you figure out how to remember them! I ended up keeping mine next to my toothbrush, and now I never forget to take them. If she’s this bad she NEEDS to get a new way to remember them ffs

Wouldn't work for her, apparently she rarely brushes her teeth... poor James.

 

[BreakingBadWind]

Oh dear. She’s about to crash...

This was posted by me, I knew it would end up here

Hello! I blocked out your IG username as I wasn’t sure if you were on here, or would want it sharing.

It sounds like Liv has done this to quite a few people, so if she’s done it to you too you’re not alone!
