Sometimes we need to talk less about mental health.

Mental health awareness has ruined logic. It seems everything is to do with mental health. We can’t even get true prison sentences now for vile people without their “mental health” being mentioned.

This morning I went to Tesco and they only had skimmed milk. I can’t function without semi skimmed milk. I haven’t slept since. Defo PTSD

Privileged Lib Dem gets PTSD because Daughter Doesn’t Live in Brussels like She Did When She Was Young.

Menthol elf culture is being pushed to point of absurdity.
I feel for those who are genuinely mentally ill having to read this kind of stuff.

This woman isn’t the problem. This is a result of an increasingly anti-scientific, mentally ill medical professionals to legitimise PTSD in these cases.
Emotively powerful words are increasingly being exploited by expanding their defintion to the point of becoming meaningless.

Get in the sea, what nonsense. If someone is this emotionally fragile, they have no business being a councillor.

> She went on to describe how travelling through Malaga airport “gets me”, adding that the UK flag is now alongside the Moroccan flag in the sign for the non-EU passport queue
“Ugh, Morocco? But that’s in Africa”

Oh fuck off.
PTSD is seeing active combat in Afgahanistan, seeing someone getting splatted by a truck, getting ten bells of shit beaten out of you by an abusive partner.
Not being a wet wipe who has their fragile feelings hurt.

Good times create weak people.
100 years ago we shoved kids up chimneys, 80 years ago Havant was been bombed. In the 50’s we still had rationing.
Today people fret over not being able to retire to Marbella.
In the midst of all the doom mongers and pessimists it worth remembering that Humans have never had it so good.
Net consumers of resources in the age of abundance and opportunity. People dont know they are born.

“”We have a property in Marbella, I planned to retire there” lol how often is this true for hardcore Remainers?
Be wary of those who say “I know what is best for the country” because they often mean “I know what is best for me”.

Ah. Like a tick list of first world problems.
I imagine her children are called tarquin and India, who regard a shortage of organic humus in Waitrose as being trauma inducing.

I was diagnosed with PTSD after reading this article.

Ridiculous, and makes a complete mockery of survivors dealing with real trauma. Reminds me of all the Tumblr/TikTok self-diagnosis from attention seeking children.

This reminds me of the last few episodes of American Horror Story I ever watched, where Sarah Paulson was having a mental breakdown after Trump’s election in 2016.
I couldn’t take it seriously in a fictional TV show, and I can’t take it seriously now.

Brexit was really hard on me. All of a sudden a lot of people I loved and respected started spewing UKIP talking points. I couldn’t have a conversation with them about it because all I’d receive in return was personal attacks and lies.
Most of those relationships ships have ended. The few that remain will be forever tarnished. I felt like I didn’t know anyone anymore. I’ve never felt more lost and alone.
I’m talking about people that I aspired to be like. People I modelled myself on. A lot of the choices I’ve made in life have been choices they advised me to make. Then all of a sudden, I was their enemy. I was being called things like “educated fool” or “champagne socialist”. I was naive. I’d spent too much time in the London Bubble.
I can never go back to how things were before, and I struggle with that. I wouldn’t say I have PTSD, but I’ve certainly been damaged by it.
So I sympathise with this woman. It was hard for me. I can imagine that it was harder for other people.

On behalf of myself, and others who have actual PTSD for genuinely traumatic experiences, may she fall over face first into pig shit.

Impressive that you can actually get a doctor to certify that you’re a complete fucking melt these days. Shame they’re appropriating terminology from an actual serious condition though.

I feel very sorry for her daughter.
