Sainsburys renames Chicken Kiev to Chicken Kviv..
is this going to make a blind bit of difference to Putin and his actions? I suspect not

My view of BPD is informed by my own diagnosis of complex PTSD which can manifest itself similarly. It's why I attract BPD friends I think - I've got quite a lot of patience with them because I understand why their thought processes work the way they do. I certainly wouldn't blame anyone for their illness, but I can understand why people distance themselves for the sake of their own mental health. I had to cut one friend off because every time I did anything without her she'd call and text me over and over again threatening to self harm because I hadn't invited her.I
Granted that cancer, chron’s & CF are all physical illnesses. (Sad to read re: the childhood death)
But, BPD & EUPD are mental illnesses that sit under the ‘Cluster B’ umbrella of personality disorders. People with these types of disorders struggle to regulate their feelings which leads to patterns of behaviours others describe as dramatic, unpredictable and disturbing.
Most people with a Cluster B disorder will have suffered some kind of trauma, neglect or abandonment as children. Which leads to the development of the disorder.
Not all people with BPD/EUPD are simply just a bitch. And people who are simply just bitches don’t always have personality disorders. (Most of the time they don’t) Mental illnesses are complex, so to suggest they aren’t real illnesses sadly invalidates the real sufferers.
I know this is the unpopular opinion thread (& most of the time it’s a laugh) but it’s really sad to see such stigma and ignorance around mental health.
Same here I have CPTSD too (professionally diagnosed, not self diagnosed from teenagers on Tik Tok! Which I agree a lot of this glamorisation of mental health and wearing it like a badge of honour these days stems from) and this is the reason I tend to distance myself from people who may cause damage to my own mental health. I also understand that just because I have trauma it doesn’t mean it’s a get out clause to behave horrific to those around me. Nor would I ever introduce myself on any of my socials as a CPTSD “survivor/sufferer/warrior”. It ain’t the be all or end all of my personality and unless in a relative discussion I wouldn’t otherwise even bring it up!My view of BPD is informed by my own diagnosis of complex PTSD which can manifest itself similarly.

I do think the Tik Tok generation has glamorised various mental illnesses though, when the reality is they're life ruiners.
I feel the same @TwooTwooTwitTwitTwoo it's demoralising sometimes isn't it? I try not to let it get to me, but sometimes when people come out with unkind comments I find it hurtful as well, and frustrating, because I feel like some people are on the outside looking in,and they just don't understand.Thank you for this and the to person you quoted too. I have 3 out of 5 children diagnosed but I think the other two are autistic too, just more able to mask. It's clearly hereditary along with the ADHD which two of them have. I'm not on Instagram etc, the most I've mentioned it is on here, mainly because it's anonymous.
I do feel blamed as a parent but realistically I'm not at fault for my genetics. It's very clear it's passed down through generations.
Some days I feel rage about how people don't understand but other days I have no fight because I've used it on dealing with my actual life. Today is one of the latter.
I desperately wish more people understood.

There’s a person in my uni group like that, always saying how they’d never drink and they don’t need it to have a good time. They’re a nice enough person but it is a bit of a turn off that anytime alcohol’s mentioned they have to mention it.In my experience people that don’t drink always tell everyone and act superior to those of us who like a glass or two.
Exactly! There's a friend of mine every time we mention drink she bores off about how she doesn't need it and really no one askedThere’s a person in my uni group like that, always saying how they’d never drink and they don’t need it to have a good time.

YES! I've given my kids McDonald's every day this week, shit mums club!! Absolute bollocks - just lazy!!!Why is it cool to be a shit parent, chaotic, disorganised and forever in a flap or hungover. I hate it. I blame that Motherland show (which I also hated - unpopular opinion). I try really hard to be an organised parent which seems to be ridiculed these days.
I've noticed most American dramas will have an AA/NA storyline tagged in there somewhere. They're a bit obsessed with it.So many teetotal Yanks claim it's because they're 'alcoholics'. I used to work with one and it turned out she used to be a bit drunk and rowdy in her college days, you know, like every student in the whole world. She decided she as an alchie and has spent the past 20 years going to AA meetings.
what an odd thing to say…you just presume he’s an alcoholic rather than just accepting that he doesn’t like the taste of alcohol. I think that says more about you than himI work with a guy who never drinks. He says he doesn’t like the taste. I think he’s an alcoholic and therefore can’t drink. I don’t understand ‘doesn’t like the taste’ beer taste completely different to champagne
