@TheLadyofShalott1 excuse me? How dare you lecture me about mental health!

If you really want to know, I have a physical disability which can leave me bed bound at times. I suffer with anxiety and depression, which I have had to take medication for.

Sometimes I can't function because I'm so tired. I still live with my parents at the age of twenty nine. My mother (who should be having her own life) is my carer and has to do things like help me out of the shower and help me out of bed. I can't work. I'm studying but can just about keep my head above water. Sometimes, I cry myself to sleep because I'm so scared about what will happen to me in the future and if I'll ever be truly happy. I haven't had a romantic relationship in years, and I think that no one will ever want me.

It's unfair that you are telling other posters about your struggles with mental health, but then lawd it on to other posters such as myself that we are horrible people and we have no idea about mental health, when we absolutely do.

I'm sorry about what's happened to you, but your sweeping generalisations and lecturing (and you are lecturing other posters, even though you say you're not) have no place here.

ICrunchCrispsNotNumbers · 08/01/2023 01:36

*that we have no idea.

Sorry to derail the thread, guys. But I'm just so angry at people thinking that other posters on this thread haven't struggled.

Very funny.
The worst thing,” I’m telling Meghan, “is that these quotes make me sound ridiculous. Because they’re translated back from the Spanish. And it’s just not what I wrote.

“Wrote?” says Meghan.

“Said,” I say. “Which somebody else wrote. Same thing.”

Meghan doesn’t say anything. She’s filming herself with her hair in a towel. That’s how bad this is.

“Because in my own words,” I continue, “that story about mounting a horsey lady in a field behind a pub was actually really dignified.”

😂😂😂😂

The more I watch it, the more I love them dancing while Harry sounds like a whiny baby.

Don't forget the racist element-Harry is only coming in for all this because he married a black woman and refused to conform. That is why he had to tell his story of the hate they both received.

He is a hero.

Of course. Naturally, no-one would laugh at the frostbitten todger story if he'd married a white woman, let alone the arse-in-dogbowl one.

they have spent many recent years trying to explain about mental health, and how people should not be ashamed if they suffer from it

@TheLadyofShalott1, if you believe people suffer from mental health, you clearly didn't derive much benefit from those explanations.

Sorry @SnowlayRoundabout I am probably being rather dense, but I am not sure what you are saying here?

Firstly
'if I believe that people suffer from mental health...'?
Well yes, I know that we all have mental health, some people seem to be lucky enough to only "suffer" from good mental health, but I suspect that for that to happen during their entire lives is rather unusual. I believe that most of us will have at least one episode of poor mental health in our lifetimes, and as I have already said, I have 'suffered' from differing degrees of poor mental health for most of my life, so yes, of course I believe in the phenomenon of 'mental health'.

To try to reply to the second half of your sentence - which I really am struggling to understand - you say that I clearly didn't derive much benefit from those explanations; if you are refering to the explanations about mental health, and how no-one should be ashamed if they have mental health problems, the only thing I can remember thinking and feeling when the Prince and Princess of Wales were on one of their trips to institutions that deal in some way or other, with poor mental health issues, was, and still is, frustration.

I have never as an adult, been ashamed of my own, or anyone elses problems with poor mental health. I say "as an adult" because unfortunately when I was a child, and sadly had OCD, I was very worried that someone might find out about my OCD, and think that I was very strange. These days, if appropriate, I am very open about any, or indeed all, of my problematical mental health issues.

My frustration is born from both my personal experiences to do with my own, and my family's, mental health concerns, and my observations from around England, that have shown time and time again, how incredibly difficult it is (and how far too often it is), to actually receive any meaningful help with ones own, and ones loved ones, poor to atrocious, mental health conditions. The Royal couple seem to always go to hospitals, clinics, or other places dedicated to helping people with their mental health problems - of which the P&P of Wales staff must have quite a problem routing out. They only appear to go to the places that may be privately or charitably run, or are NHS, but have somehow managed to negotiate some sort of help for their patients.

When William and Catherine are on our screens promoting one organisation, or another; or chatting and laughing with the "sucess" stories, I am - not quite - shouting at the screen, that these people and institutions are vastly in the minority, so please stop promoting them, and instead start pointing out how difficult it is for most of us to actually get any help (good or otherwise) with our often devastating mental health issues. I then want this Royal couple to put themselves out by dedicating their time, and energies, into researching and discussing the most important issues - which imo are -

the awful lack of monetary input into the MH,NHS, and the dreadful education and training (not actually) provided for what appears to be the vast majority of MH practitioners. Which of course then leads to the situation that we have already been in for far too many years, where the so called experts, along with the Government, and the NHS 'top brass' fail to deliver any sort of meaningful advice and treatment. I do know, and have myself suffered from, the fact that all of the NHS is now (almost?) broken, and may be beyond the wit and ability of anyone who may have, at one time, been able to rescue the NHS - including the MHNHS. But even the death of the majority of the NHS, should not lead to those with mental health problems being left once again at the bottom of the pile.

That is where I probably disagree with at least most of the Mumsnetters posting on this thread, I do believe that our mental health is just as, and maybe even more, important as our physical health. So @SnowlayRoundabout have I manged at all to answer your non question?

Maireas · 08/01/2023 08:34

Meanwhile, it's hard to keep up..... Harry used up all the nitrous oxide when Meghan was in labour. Great birth partner.

Mezmer · 08/01/2023 08:58

Seriously is it just me that’s getting to the point where you can accuse me of whatever you want and I’m like ‘yeah, whatever.’

I’ve gone beyond the point of listening.

I no longer care about the special sets of issues that many people today hold so near and dear, and that seem to define them as a group…though thankfully, not as individuals.

I’m simply exhausted by the constant demands and the accusations from the people who hold these issues so close to their hearts. Of their neediness, their helplessness, their hypocrisy, their never ending problems.

so call me mean, lay all the wrongs you have experienced at my feet. Call me a sexist, a transphobe, a racist, a fascist, a bigot, a Tory, a bully.

I just don’t care anymore.

all I will do is ignore you and avoid you, lest I sully you with my presence.

Because not one of us has to justify ourselves for:

how we feel
how we live
what we think
what we do

So, if memes are you thing, crack on.

my question to you LadySahlotte is why are you here, in this chat room about memes, if the type of people in here offend you so much?

go and find ‘your people’ on another thread.

Stop preaching to an insignificant bunch of slightly bored people who have a shared passion for juvenile cheap laughs and live - and let live, eh?

I wish I could have written that - it’s word for word how I have felt for a long time now. Thank you 💐

Mezmer you’re a legend! And so are you I crunch crisps 💐

TheLadyofShalott1 · 08/01/2023 10:14

Bugger! I was just in the middle of both an apology to you @ICrunchCrispsNotNumbers and an attempt at an explanation about why I very much do believe that there are a great number of people who have struggled much more than I ever had, when I got a bloomin' "error" page come up - so it seems that even the internet is against me at the moment!

I am not quite ready to throw in my towel yet, so I will try again.

I am so sorry @ICrunchCrispsNotNumbers for all you have been, and are still going through, at the moment. I truly hope that there is room for improvement with your condition/s in the future, if not straight away.

I have great hopes that now so many people have had 'long covid' and have been believed, that people who have struggled terribly with
ME/CSF/AVC and Fibromyalgia will also be believed, and that they will be offered the treatments that are at present in the timeline for long covid sufferers.

Back to your accusation that I don't think other people on this thread have stuggled. That goes so strongly against what I actually believe and feel, that I am bewildered by your interpretation of my posts! So I would be genuinely grateful ICrunchCrisps (great name by the way), if you could actually quote me, to show me where I said it. I am selfishly requesting this for my own peace of mind, but also to hopefully be able to convince you that I have never felt like that.

I am not asking you so that I can try to score any points - which obviously wouldn't work with this threads posters anyway - I have just never felt that I have had it worse than anyone else, or that I am the only person who has struggled or suffered on this thread, or anywhere else for that matter. So I am hoping to jog my memory as to why I would say such a thing, or intimate it, if I didn't use those exact words.

I have also (as far as I can recall, or intended) never called or thought anyone on this thread is or was horrible. I do think that the actions/behaviours of people posting all of these (to me totally humourless) memes, are at the very least thoughtless, and at the most, potentially very cruel and possibly even dangerous. I have gone into quite long explanations about why I believe that Harry's mental health is very poor, and because I have beenasked by other posters why or how I feel that I have the qualifications to make such a judgement (and no, I haven't got any paper qualifications to back up my statements) I have reiterated - maybe several times - my own experiences with poor mental health.

But at no time did I think, or intend to suggest, that - because my own feelings have led to me being genuinely worried about Harry's poor mental health being made worse if he were to read this thread (if he were well, I am sure that he would have found a lot of them funny too), and it could still be published by the likes of the Daily Mail - (I am reiterating the beginning of this paragraph again, because I think it has got too confusing, so) at no time did I think that you are all a bunch of nasty people, without any of your own problems, that didn't even cross my mind! I was only trying to point out that the behaviour is/was imo cruel even though that is/was not what was intended by the people showing the memes. I do actually believe that the intention of this thread was always to just have a bit of harmless fun, but the longer the thread got, the more uncomfortable I was with it's content, so I felt that I needed to point out my viewpoint.

I do hope that for your own sake @ICrunchCrispsNotNumbers that you have, or can soon stop feeling angry. Whatever I had meant was not worth you making yourself more stressed or ill over it, you know in your own heart that your intention was not to be cruel, and it shouldn't matter one jot to you what some stupid stranger on the internet says. So please be kind to yourself, and try to rid yourself of your anger, even if that means imaging your underneath pillow is my face, and giving it a good thumping!

Oh, and the “you’re all bullies who don’t understand mental health” folk can do one. There is zero evidence that Harry’s decision to sell these stories is due to a mental health condition. And it’s bloody insulting to lots of us who have MH difficulties when you conflate bad behaviour and poor mental health. They aren’t synonymous.

Couldn’t have put it better myself .
