The issue with jade, apart from needing real therapy is also not having any other real distractions outside of her navel gazing "job"

Hey guys, I'm a long time lurker who has watched Jade since her school days. I don't like posting but I've had various frustrations watching Jade's more recent videos and really wanted to give my opinion, and I also think it might be helpful to others.

Jade does not seem mentally well at all. I've sensed it since towards the end of her final year of Minerva - her moods have seemed erratic since around that time (I swear she used to like see a sunset and then just start crying? Or at least things similar to that would occur) and they look like they're getting much worse since she graduated. I know other people in the thread have been saying the same thing, that she needs more stability and to see a proper therapist etc, but I wanted to give my take by building on my personal experience.

Like Jade, when I first started getting mood swings I would have periods where I'd want to cry with delight at the universe and how beautiful I found it all... then within a day I'd completely crash and cry tears of misery. She exhibited this exact behaviour a few videos ago in one of her London vlogs. Like Jade, I used to think it was part and parcel of being a woman and having a menstrual cycle - Jade is often talking about what stage of her cycle she is in and how that is affecting her mind and body. I erroneously thought that having severe mood swings was a normal thing to experience as your cycle occurs, and various GPs perpetuated this belief by ignoring my mentions of mood swings and passing them off as a normal PMS symptom.

However, the severity of my mood swings increased to the point where my ability to work and maintain healthy relationships was being affected. I would have very dark thoughts some hours, followed by a period of stability, followed by hours of mania where my ego would balloon (sound familiar?). I thought I was just a very emotional person and by watching influencers INCLUDING JADE, I thought if I just meditated better, or practised more mindfulness, I would be able to get a grip. And so for years I battled with debilitating mental illness, dismissing it as me just being quirky/different and blaming myself for not being able to just "be mentally healthy". It took years of seeing therapists and counsellors until one kind GP (I will always be thankful for him for saving my life) actually stopped me when I told him I was having mood swings and asked me to explain more, and he referred me to a psychiatrist who diagnosed me with a form of bipolar disorder. Since then I have been taking medication that has completely transformed my life and given me so much clarity of thought.

What points am I trying to make here?
1. Of course it is never a good idea to armchair diagnose influencers through what we see on a screen, but the evidence is pointing towards Jade needing a real intervention. I don't like the girl but I wouldn't wish mental illness on her. Jade should see a GP if she is struggling with her mood.
2. Severe mood swings are not normal and I sure as hell hope she doesn't influence people into thinking it's normal. For a suspected mental illness you should see a GP or doctor, NOT just a therapist or counsellor. Therapists cannot prescribe you medication or diagnose you, and sometimes medication is what you need to get your life on track. You cannot casual magic your way through a real mental illness, whether that is bipolar, an eating disorder, anxiety, etc. You cannot always BetterHelp your way to good mental health.
3. Jade NEEDS TO STOP making videos in which she acts like a therapist. I think Jade has crossed too far over the boundary in some of her latest videos. She doesn't explicitly pretend that she is a qualified therapist, but the tone in which she speaks down to her audience, the way she advises about healing your inner child and how to take care of your feelings... she is acting like a therapist. People watching her videos could definitely be fooled into thinking that she is highly knowledgeable about mental health, but she is not. Influencers have a duty to make disclaimers that if people are suffering from real mental illness, they should be seeing a doctor. Far too often I've seen mental illness being mistaken for mental health, and have seen ideas of mindfulness and meditation being promoted without such a disclaimer. It's what caused me to suffer for years longer than I had to.

I hope by writing this post I can undo some of the damage Jade may have done by influencing her followers to "casual magic" their way to good mental health. For some people that is enough, but for many it is incorrect and potentially dangerous.

TLDR Jade should see a doctor if her mood swings are as bad as she portrays. And she and other influencers have a responsibility to tell the public that if they think they are suffering from mental illness they should see a doctor, rather simply pushing meditation, mindfulness and journalling.
I agree something seems like seriously Not Right. Iā€™m also worried that young gullible teens are watching her and internalising the fact that you should break up with someone you seem happy with over tarot cards or turn down ā€œdream jobsā€ because the vibes are off - wtf? Only people in seriously privileged positions (such as people renting in London without a full time job!!!!) can do things like this. Not sure what she expected moving to London and feeling alone, this is a very common postgrad experience. Most people would be desperate to have a housemate that was ā€œout in the office more than at homeā€ - yeah cos she has a full time job babes! Thatā€™s what most peopleā€™s lives are likeā€¦.

double posting but Oh Well - going to offer my personal experience too.

I think she would have been much better off attending a decent Russel Group uni in the UK, making a group of friends she got along really well with (including international people!!! UK unis are famous for relying on overseas students for funding!!) who then graduated, got jobs around London and maybe living with them in a hosue share and having the "dream adult life" I think she's after - living with your friends who you know really well, spending time hanging out each evening - this is what I did after uni and it's been a blast.

I think she feels so alone becasue all her international minerva friends went back to their home countries (understandably) and now she moved to London for some reason and is annoyed that her housemate is out at work and they aren't instant besties and she thought she could have this picture perfect post-grad life and instead she just sits around at home with no direction or drive. She clearly has enough money from YT so she doesn't need to apply for a job and is turning down these opportunities becasue they don't "feel right" instead of taking a job to maybe have some purpose and distract yourself from your recent break-up and maybe make some friends, too.....

She should have just been honest and explained it wasn't "vibes" and "tarot cards" but probably also something she thought about a lot beforehand, and the vibes just helped her make that final decision. And that the dream job was just no longer a dream job? I don't know, maybe she is just delusional

I feel as if she makes her decisions based on factors such as a tarot card or the vibes weren't right as it takes the element of responsibility away from Jade. It's some force that is making the decision for her and is in the driving seat of her life.

Imagine being offered your dream job and you say... no. Can't have been much of a dream job then?

I wasnā€™t going to say it but since someone opened the door - the whole vibes and tarot cards and some higher power stuff she has been spewing reminds me a lot of people who go through psychosis and turn to religious symbols specifically

Obviously not saying sheā€™s going through that and it seems that her whole family is into that sort of ideology, but coupled with her mood swings I find it a bittttt concerning

Iā€™m not concerned. Shes newly single and has no job. Sheā€™s gone through a break up, it sucks whatever the circumstances. Sheā€™s also moved to London and has no job and definitely doesnā€™t work 8-6 like most so has all this free time to spend and lacks purpose. Being unemployed does that on a basic level to anyone.

Maybe she's the "delulu is the solulu tee hee" types.

The narrative she's pushing is so dangerous- that such high high's and low low's are normal, even "cool" and something to emulate (like it or not, she's an INFLUENCER first and foremost. She's basically monetizing her emotions at this point, whether she's exaggerating for the camera or not). If you're that messed up you should keep it to yourself, your family/ friends, your therapist. Not broadcast it for the entire world to watch (it almost feels trauma-porny to me). Ofc emotions are normal. But wallowing in them to that extent? To the point where the only solution seemingly is to "travel," go to Coachella and eat pray love?? Oh please.

Does she just casually mention she hosted a sex party around the 2 minute mark in the video?

Like girl.. you gleamed not so long ago about how well you hid this aspect of your life from the internet. Why would you put this out there?

My favourite thing about that post has to be that the main image is of her with nothing to link it to Palestine or Gaza

All of the prizes are linked to her so does the algorithm really need to be pushed to show it to others?

In het latest video she said she "called him up and told him we couldn't be together" (03min46)
So she broke up with her boyfriend of 3 years over the phone?

If he was who we suspect him to be (the German guy from her Swiss dick adventure), they were probably long distance.

Shock. Thereā€™s a lot of influencers only just speaking up now, better late than never I guess but it all feels like saving face and being performative, which is very on brand for Jade.

Jade seems like she might have some kind of borderline personality disorder tbh.
I'd be inclined to agree, I almost hope she's dramatising for the camera but even if she's not, as others have said, she's sending a message that having these extremes of moods is normal, which is most certainly shouldn't be and is upsetting that requires serious help. Not just some online unqualified therapist
