I knew I was getting myself in hot water over my comment because I used the word anxiety. I didn't mean her actual anxiety disorder. I meant the normal concern/worries/anxieties we ALL have, whether we also have an anxiety disorder or not.
I have GAD, so believe me, I know what anxiety is. I've landed in hospital a couple of times with an anxiety attack, so no need to explain irrational, unprovoked, etc. And I would say that I have personally gone into an anxiety attack over world events, like the fires in Australia last year, COVID obviously. Anything can be a trigger, so why the hell wouldn't big, life changing, humanity-as-a-whole concerning events be any different? So yeah, can't imagine Zoe even crying about and going into an actual anxiety attack, say, the homelessness crises in the UK. Or even mentioning it, ffs. Sorry, just can't see her caring about anything beyond the tip of her nose.
What I was talking about though is normal anxiety, not disease anxiety, or worry or concern, if you prefer the word anxiety is not used, over anything but herself. Has Zoe even discussed ANY of the MANY human rights, social, health crises in the past year? Nah. All she cares about is herself, her stuff, flogging stuff so her viewers continue to make her rich while she gives nothing back, not even well edited vlogs.
If your argument is that because she has a mental health disorder she can't also worry about things other than herself... well, most of us human beings do have empathy for others even in the throes of a mental health illness.
And I hear it, on the feeling you can't take any more and you're at capacity. But the thing is, most of us don't have a 9 million follower platform. Most of us, don't spend our days watching telly and occassionally jumping on social media to get paid some people's yearly salary for one meager blog post. She could be doing so much more but she just plain doesn't care. And she hides behind her (very real, not knocking her on this) anxiety disorder and as someone with anxiety disorder, and a full time job, and a side hustle, and humanitarian interests, and charity work, and a life outside the four walls of my house, it pisses me off.
