Just to remind you

[S0CKS]

Here's a little reminder to get ya through the day!
Please remember to take your meds today!
And remember to drink water!
And, if you can, try to eat something!
Your health is very important, and you have to take care of yourself.
And also, please remember to find some balance today.
If you're doing too much, rest. Advocate for yourself. Get the rest you deserve.
If you HAVE to do stuff, at least make sure you're listening to your own limits.
Your limitations are not the same as the person next to you.
You have to listen to yourself
And take care of yourself.
For yourself.
And for me.
I'm so proud of you for getting this far.

Happy Friday everybody!

You could tell this had been lifted straight from FB or Bodyposipanda or similar's Instagram.

at the first reply!

However if it does help someone out there then I'm not gonna grumble.

“If it doesn’t resonate with you, is it harming you?”

Well, I suffer with depression and anxiety and it’s given me the rage so.....maybe! I’m not on Farcebook and don’t really come across this kind of thing so it was quite the “who invaded MN” moment.

Ugh.

Mumsnet is sharp and a bit bitter but witty and clever. It is a place that just because you have pushed a baby out doesnt expect you to become a serial fb reposter of inspirational shite

If you want to cut and paste something like this do it on facebook. If you want to take the time to write your own words about how you hope people with mental illness are looking aftet themselves then maybe post it over in mental health.

Mumsnet is a wonderfully caring place who ive seen be there and support women through some truly awful life events but its never fake and never twee.

Yep, keep the mental health stuff over in mental health where it fucking belongs. We don’t want that shit in chat.
Also, make sure whilst there everything is written in your own words.
This is how things have always been done.
Hope you’re taking notes op.

It pure gied me the dry boak, does that count?

Sorry in order to insult me I would need to have to value your opinions nice try though.
If you don't like it then that's entirely your opinion and your welcome to them but your opinions are just that yours so i don't give a flying fuck. Yes its from Facebook sorry I forgot everybody with mental health issues has Facebook and whether they are my words or somebody elses the sentiment is still the same.

No, Mumsnet is never twee. I must have imagined all the DD, Dcat (and the Dpony I saw this morning).

Mumsnet is what the individual user wants it to be. If someone wants to post a poem to try and help others then why not, just scroll past if it's not for you.

You can really see why so many kids are so unkind online because it's learnt behaviour. Why not accept that other people are different?

Why can't it be in chat, lots of posters appreciate the message. MN doesn't have to be filled with antagonistic comments, insults and downright nastiness. Socks is trying to spread some love and kindness so if you don't appreciate it go away, hide the thread or go and wash your towels, cook a chicken, clean your toilet or draw a parking diagram.

I agree with @Bunkerlife and @NerrSnerr.

If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all.

Peace and love and all that! ❤️

Daphne is being sarcastic about all the negative Nancys.

Yep, keep the mental health stuff over in mental health where it fucking belongs. We don’t want that shit in chat.

Doesn't read as sarcasm, reads as unpleasant and nasty

of course it was fucking sarcastic.
I’ve already posted about my struggles with anxiety, so I am quite invested in being able to be open and honest on here and in rl about mental health issues.
It was in response to the post directly above mine.

I am also surprised that you thought my post was unpleasant and nasty but you were fine with nousernames. Who basically said what I did, just without the sarcasm.

I thought it was clear that @DaphneFanshaw was being sarcastic. It was @Nousernameforme who was being an arse.

You're proud of me???

I've already explained on the other twee thread that I am a serial killer in a high security prison...

Of cause talking openly about mental health issues here and in RL is important.

Cut and paste of cute FB posts is not a open and honest discussion, it’s a just that, unnecessary cute cut and paste nonsense about it.

Several posters have said that it helped them though, so surely you could just ignore a bit of twee cutesy stuff if it helps someone who is struggling?

And other posters have said it's annoyed them.

It is annoying and patronising nonsense.

The more stuff like this is posted the less impact it will. It’s just FB memes. Nobody really gets inspiration from them.

“If it doesn’t resonate with you, is it harming you?”

If people think it's vapid spam, and say so, is it harming you?

It's not other MNers responsibility to be 'kind', no matter how silly the post. This is a discussion forum.

If it annoys you, hit the hide thread button. Problem solved.

OP, thank you. I feel like shit today because I've not been looking after myself and it's spoiling our holiday too. Thanks for being kind.

Can't believe there are people here trying to dictate what other people should and should not post just because they don't personally like it. Post whatever you want OP.

If things like this were actually helpful to mental health issues, the NHS wouldn't be in a mental health services crisis, because social media is awash.
