To be this upset over Caroline Flack?

[RA890]

I just can't stop thinking about it. Has really knocked me sideways. Been sort of just floating around feeling weird about it all weekend.

Anyone else??

I have been tracking this since day one
And like so many I was very upset , as also having a Mental health crisis myself (and dealing with MH child ) after an abusive relationship. I saw it brewing and wept for her and her family

You know what if my EA ex killed
Himself it would also be tragic . He would leave a devastated family behind him

It’s tragic because she is one very famous example of people unable to fix their demons . And it’s very human to be scared and freaked out by it . It’s a waste
There but for the grace if god

I don’t care if she did shitty things , as most humans do . I still believe most people
Have a good side (even my ex) and many just get lost and fucked up

In my poor mental health since my relationship ended I have lost it a few times . Not Proud . But I am old
Enough and wise enough to get a wide range of MH support
And I’m still in a pickle

I also get frustrated that MH is used as a ‘get out of jail free card’. I find it hard to believe she was so ‘unwell’ but still managed to hold down a high profile job and social life. Where were her family if she was so unwell? She had more help and support available to her than most people in much worse situations.

@FlamingFreezing you do realise that thousands of people with serious mental health issues manage to hold down a job and go out and see friends etc That's why suicidal is often such a shock.

Some people have no idea about Mental Health.

Somebody I know shot themselves a couple of weeks ago. On the outside they had everything.

Erm CF had mental health issues. This was not a few drinks and some anger. She had major issues regarding relationships.
There's no way she wanted to end her life on a whim. This was a last resort for her.
For 5 years or more she had metal health problems. But obv it became out of hand.

Apparently it is okay to gush about her in full page articles as long as you say the she 'had flaws' or 'she made mistakes'. We all have flaws and make mistakes, we don't all try and brain our partners with lamps.

I know that it is tragic she killed herself and we all know that the papers in this country are immoral dogs, but we don't need the patronising and dismissive language that minimises domestic abuse that I see in the articles about her now she is dead. If you are so ill that you are attacking those who are closest to you, you should be in a secure unit, not presenting TV shows.

I didn't realise it at the time but looking and watching interviews she's putting up a facade.
Maybe the industry was just not right for her. Even tho it's what she wanted as a career.

Olly Murs hadn't worked with her since 2015.
He said he knew she was fragile. I wonder why she was so fragile.
I dont know how anyone could do tv presenting and be very fragile but obv she was.

I think she was emotionally fragile and easily hurt

Lots of her pals alluding to undiagnosed issues, reading between the lines she seems very manic. Very up and down.
I live round the corner from her in N16. My best pal is a manager of a local pub, he said she was a regular, and a big cocaine user. Not all together surprising lots of tv slebs are

Well if she was using drugs then that would have made her mental health even worse. Who was doing the drugs with? her boyfriend? her friends? What a mess, so sad.

I said cocaine right at the start of all of this. It's known to make people depressed and suicidal - mixed with alcohol and prescription drugs (anti depressants), it's a recipe for disaster.

Friends and boyfriends, coke use is rife in z-list celeb circles

It makes you aggressive doesn’t it? Or am I thinking of something else?

There was that ex love islander that took a pic, posted it to Instagram and there was loads of lines racked up at the bottom of the photo 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

It's rife in all celeb circles and has been said about Caroline Flack for a long time.
At first glance, she was surrounded by many friends but as days go on, you can see that sadly most were fellow party pals and celeb acquaintances/workmates, shallow friendships as they're the ones shouting the loudest about her death. When friends of mine passed away, no one would show such disrespect and pain to the families by speaking so publicly about them. That's the mark of real friendship.

@MargotB7 How utterly distasteful and shameful your comment is towards me is. I’d never heard of her before her allegations of DV towards her partners. But following the story since, her controlling actions have brought back flashbacks of the DV I suffered at the hands of my female ex-partner. And I’m utterly disgusted at the attempted whitewashing of her alleged abuse.

I work in “the city” in banking and cocaine usage is rife even amongst my peers

She is not your ex girlfriend, Your anger to her is not normal. I had an abusive boyfriend when I younger. I'm not taking it out on CF.

Great post Thisisworsethananticpated we have to stop painting people and devils or saints. It doesn't help victims of domestic abuse to paint their partners as pure evil. It just makes it more confusing when you know your partner can be loving and giving and sweet sometimes, and scary and violent at other times.

@MargotB7 And so your distasteful comments continue. Did you actually read what I wrote? I’m angry at the whitewashing and hypocritical comments. If you’d really survived DV you’d understand that, not question it.

TheMaskedTulip

Yes I survived, you don't know me. I went through a very bad time. I honestly don't think CF didn't anything near enough as bad as my ex. I am sane enough to not hate a stranger because of what my ex did. Circumstances are different.

Did anything as bad, I mean't. You don't know what happened that night.

@MargotB7 Yet again you continue to misinterpret my postings. So CF did nothing really? Just a little scratch was it? Nothing in your mind to warrant the police investigation and the CPS prosecution.

Did you try and get your ex prosecuted?

@MargotB7 You’re correct I do not know what happened that night, and ergo neither do you. But I’ll put my trust in the police and CPS for bringing cases of DV to court. Do you?
