“No one has asked if I was ok” (alight msiqiote but typing on phone)

What are people’s thoughts? Good on her i think but equally she can leave public eye

So money Neale's you're desperation easier? That's a real insult to everyone who suffers from mental health.

You really are a class A twit aren’t you @Hey1256? Of course life is easier when you don’t have to worry about money, end of. Your post is hugely insulting to people suffering from mental health issues who also live in fear of losing their home or not being able to feed their kids. Get in the real world FFS.

I think it's really sad that so many people have so much free time to bitch about another woman but I spose it is the national pastime.

Is she going to solve Brexit?

So Ding is there a fiscal limit on when MH can be allowed to really drag a person down? Or are all high tax payers fucked?

We (England) did win the Rugby yesterday and the score was impressive

MrsSpinningPlates · 20/10/2019 13:33

I think they both might be guilty of wanting to run before they can walk. They’ve tried to jump straight into their lives as a married couple and as new parents to boot.

The Cambridge’s had a year (?) of quiet life in Anglesey getting used to being newly weds whilst William was still in the forces and then a a year or so of quiet life in Norfolk with him having a ‘proper’ job and minimal royal duties.

I’ve just seen the Sussex’s are taking 6 weeks out, I think they could really do with a year. Be parents, be newly weds and do the bare minimum of duties for a while.

Duo I reckon she nobbled the Aussies Portia?

JacquesHammer · 20/10/2019 13:34

You mean what you want is for a poster to take the time to write it all down for you to pick away at each line with plenty of: ‘oh and you know her personally do you?’

Oh I just want to see what bat-shittery the aforementioned would come out with.

It’s not that hard to see markers of an inability for any sort of erudite thought.

Certain people on this thread seem to be incapable of reading. As I said in my first post, rich people do suffer from mental health issues just like anyone else. BUT life is far easier when you have a ton of money in the bank and access to a wealth of support. Is it really so difficult to understand that?

Hey1256 · 20/10/2019 13:34

@Dongdingdong

That's exactly the type of arsehole comment I'm talking about.

Ignorance at its finest. You really think an easier life means you shouldn't have mental health problems or the fact that you have money means your mental health problems
Are somehow lesser than the next persons.

I never said having money doesn't make life easier. However, mental health isn't determined by how easy your life is.

Douch.

Aridane · 20/10/2019 13:36

Apologies if it’s already in the thread- but can someone post a link to or a transcript of the interview?

AmeliaE · 20/10/2019 13:38

I guess I have a different newsfeed than her because I only see Hello's, Vogue's etc articles about how amazing and elegant and so on she is.
I guess they have chosen to forget all the good and free publicity she has been getting since the very beginning. I specially remember all of those articles about being a Hollywood actress and how they might give her an Emmy.
In my (completely ignorant) opinion she was a cringe to watch on Suits.

So you think a multimillionaire suffering from mental health issues is exactly the same as someone else with MH issues without a penny to their name, facing homelessness or sleeping rough on the streets? Don’t be such a fool.

Yes they both have mental health problems, but one has the means to access the very best health and support - the other has nothing.

Honestly your attitude disgusts me.

Mental illness such as pnd does not discriminate you can have depression and become suicidal even if you're a billionaire.
Jesy Nelson isnt broke but she was still on the verge of suicide because of t'internet thickos who think others do not have feelings, disgusting low morons!

Dongdingdong · 20/10/2019 13:46

Try suffering from the same mental health issues as a wealthy person but with the ADDITIONAL problems of having no money, being unable to pay your bills, worrying about how to feed your kids or that you could lose your home, and struggling to get any kind of support via our overstretched national health service.

FFS.

Dongdingdong · 20/10/2019 13:50

Mental illness such as pnd does not discriminate you can have depression and become suicidal even if you're a billionaire.

I totally agree. I’m just saying that life is easier if you have a lot of money to get the support you need, take time off work and so on. Surely it’s obvious that someone with no support whatsoever will find it harder to deal with - and hopefully recover - from those issues compared to someone with all the support in the world?

WTCT · 20/10/2019 13:51

Of course she did. She could have worn the coat completely unbuttoned which would have achieved exactly the same fit and made much less of a fuss.

😂😂😂

So she’s being lambasted for having a top button done up?? Really????

🙄🙄🙄

Looks like Determined Meghan, despite being a possible nominee, politely declined to attend the Emmy experience though as reported [https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.foxnews.com/entertainment/meghan-markle-politely-turns-down-emmy-award-invitation-report.amp here]

OkayGo · 20/10/2019 13:53

Why are people so horrible about someone they don't know?

Dongdingdong · 20/10/2019 14:04

Some of the worst traumas and MH episodes have been while I’ve had money. BUT there is no question that having money and the peace of mind financial security gives you makes things a million billion times easier.

Thank you Joyful - I’m glad at least someone understands what I’m saying!

SamanthaBrique · 20/10/2019 14:07

And to those posters saying rich people suffer from mental health issues/other problems like anyone else - yes of course they do, but shedloads of money in the bank makes life a hell of a lot easier.

Yep, it certainly made life easier for people like Robin Williams and Kate Spade...

SamanthaBrique · 20/10/2019 14:11

Apologies @Dongdingdong, I see you clarified your comments later.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 20/10/2019 14:23

Prince Charles is currently promoting a new documentary about his life where he talks on camera about his emotions, his fears, and nearly crying

Oh god, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Haven't we already heard enough views from that petulant, self pitying little sniveller to last a lifetime??
