So I know I can be opinionated on Emily but I actually fully rate her for her video this morning for talking about the lockdown and how it affects everyone’s mental health.

this morning I’ve watched Emily’s video & Anastasia Kingsnorth and if you compare the two Ana just seems so out of touch and I appreciate that Emily is keeping it real.

Don’t expect this from me everyday 😂
 
She says she was scared from the first lockdown? But she previously mentioned she won’t like this one because she won’t have the lovely house and garden?
I know mental health is all relative, what was so bad about her first lockdown?
 
She has two homes in the Uk, one in norfolk, one in kettering. She has a lovely family to keep her company.. still has a garden and dogs to walk. And she has money.. Lockdown isnt ideal but come on hers shapes up to be better than most. I am guessing she wants to go to LA.. which is weird coz she said she struggled with the first lockdown & she was with james. I call attention seeking

Im calling it now she will move in with Adam - lol she is scarred from lockdown round 1 - she defo hates james
 
I found her vlog this morning more relatable too. James could let her stay in the house in Cornwall so that she has room and freedom to film and freedom generally (most people over 20 don't cope well moving back in with parents and losing independence, especially in an intense lockdown situation). And since she would be a single household she could bubble with her family and visit when she feels lonely.

BUT will James offer this? Does he care??

I think her mum put it in the freezer
 
I thought she made some good points in her vlog today and seemed relatable...then she started to ruin it by her need to be mysterious. One day she'd say she was so lucky to be in Cornwall and then in another says it was so hard. Also no mention of James. You would imagine she would say something like "the last time I was with my boyfriend but he's had to go back to his home in LA, which is hard". I dunno, just very hard to connect with her when she keeps changing her talking points to suit her agenda.

And no main channel video this weekend so far? I see she's working hard on that one video a week!

You can also tell that she's already bored of living at home. She kept saying that she can't work as is, it's just an excuse on her part. She could well be doing content in her bedroom that she redecorated for the purpose of shooting instead of making excuses to stay in two different hotels in London and already making excuses about how she can't "work" in Lockdown.
 
She also had to throw in that she talked to Adam for an hour but no mention of James.

Is she trying to get James' attention by losing weight do you think? I just can't imagine choosing to live in a different country from my partner atm with everything going on. James should break up with her. I know she's naive etc for staying with him but ultimately he must know he's wasting her time.

She says dustbin - bad subtitles

I don’t really like to comment on people’s health but she seems very down and as others have said, worryingly thin. I hope she’s ok, and I hope she stays home where family can keep an eye on her even if it’s not where she wants to be right now.
 
I think the weight loss is a stress thing. But also I can imagine the situation has made her ED flare up with feelings of needing to restore control again. I think her and James are going through a rocky patch just because of the distance and she probably feels quite unstable not knowing when she’ll see him/what will happen. I kinda feel bad for her because she looks on the verge of a breakdown especially coupled with lockdown.

She’s made it clear that being in her family space won’t be good for her mental health if she’s stuck there, plus she implied it won’t be great for content either. I think she might stay in Cornwall but I can’t see her staying there alone, I think that’ll be even worse for her. It’ll be interesting to see what she does
 
Yeah I didn’t the new video relatable. It’s like she’s saying all the right things to come across as genuine, but it still just seems so faked.

I know everything right now is relatable, and mental health issues don’t discriminate against who they effect but

1) it was her choice to move back home when the whole country knew this second lockdown was likely.

2) she has money and no shortage of it. Not the be all and end all but 1) it means her and her family are never worrying about food on the table and 2) money brings opportunities. She can buy new Switch games to play with Sophie as a little pick me up, she can buy tit fast fashion clothes for hauls etc. Stuff like that matters and makes the world of difference.

3) she hardly has a booming social life to start with and has all the technology in the world to keep up with her friends etc throughout this whole thing.

I’m not doubting she’s finding things tough, we all are but not being able to go to Starbucks or barre class for a month really isn’t the end of the world.

Yeah but like she said, someone can be struggling even if they're privaleged and other people have it worse. She acknowledged that she's not in the worst situation but is still feeling down so I think it's fair enough.

Yeah totally agree with that and didn’t mean for
my comment to not put that across.

I feel she’s physically in a better place this time around. Living with your parents is hell as an adult but realistically, she has very little other support network and with James in LA and the seemingly car crash situation of first lockdown, Im glad she’s safe with family for this one if she isn’t doing all that great.

I dont mean to be rude but she looks like a bratz doll, her head is way too big for her body, she is shockingly skinny, you can see her shoulder bones, she does not need to be going to cardio classes/counting calories, or restricting herself from having a latte...

I do also agree that it can be annoying living with your parents over 20, but her parents seem very nice and helpful, also much better than her living alone isolated with not many connections in london, especially if she is struggling with an ED, her family can watch out and monitor her more, which I think may be another reason she moved back in with them. Lockdown was hard but living with your boyfriend of 2 years in a beautiful ocean side house, not having to worry about money/kids/too much about health since they are both young, it shouldve been a relatively fun experience, aside from being a little bored. Im long distance right now with my fiance and i know i would be very happy to spend a few months with my fiance, even if it was a bit boring. Im not discounting her stress but they shouldve been the least affected by the stresses of lockdown, really she had the ability to work from home and still make equal amount of money unlike a lot of people, and had a beautiful big house. I think it points to how unhappy their relationship is.
I think she needs to cut her losses, and do whatever makes her happy, if she needs a break from social media right now, she can do that and she has her parents to help her and who she can fall back on for support, if it makes her happy to keep posting, then keep posting. But in my opinion moving on from the James situation, which doesnt seem to be going anywhere and just focusing 100% of her energy on herself instead of on him may be the best option

I do like how she addressed mental health and seemed very raw & honest when talking about covid. I wish she was more open and honest all the time, I think she tries to allude to having the perfect life and is very uncomfortable with people seeing her having weakness, even though it would make her much more relatable
