Me, after reading her latest Instagram post.

This thread continues to engage and enlighten!

I too have C-PTSD, which is better and more important than everyday PTSD cos it's complex 😉. Oh, also ASD (possibly ADHD too). Fun times dealing with that little lot!

Seriously though, shout out to everyone on the thread who is also dealing with this, because it's a huge pain in the arse to manage. And yes, proper self care is a hugely important component of that. You do need to take responsibility, especially when others are dependent on you for their care.

OK, TED talk over.

The saddest thing of all is, whilst I doubt anyone has contacted press about any of this thread - if they did there’s no way in hell they’d be interested? It’s hardly scoop of the century and she’s hardly well known outside of Twittersphere? Who cares if she got tattoos when skint, shock horror I used my student overdraft in Topshop, we’ve all been there hun!

She’s received 3 apologies from me re: the mindless comment I made on those house deeds. The intent was never malicious or scary, if it’s any consolation I’m so pregnant and massive I winded myself running up the stairs yesterday so I’m not a trained assassin. Really resent the presentation of that.
 
There must be another forum because I genuinely wouldn't continue to read this one if it went beyond a general piss-take. She said herself this thread was legitimately funny.

Collectively we've offered constructive criticism that a savvy media mind could utilise to their advantage and not just in a 'ah everyone's bullying me' way. I'd say the majority of us are here because we were fans at one point and are now a focus group to mine for 'tell us why you're leaving' information.

If she does believe she is being bullied then the old primary school advice remains the same: don't visibly react to it, stop providing the sticks to get beaten with and surround yourself with people who like you and have your best interests at heart. That may mean they say things you don't like to hear.

I know this sounds like a horribly passive aggressive thing to say, but she really needs to take a deep breath, calm down and get some perspective.

Yeah agreed. I know I can get in a right tizz when I’m tired & she references not sleeping. Honestly a luxury nap day with chocolate in bed will iron out a lot of these feelings because they’re not currently 100% grounded in reality sadly. We’ve all been there.

She has to be talking about another forum because this is just joking around. All the other stuff she is yapping about has not happened here. Once again blow it all up to be something is isn't, or was.
 
It's so interesting to see her twist what was written here. She tweets ...the untrue claims about my financial affairs like I pay myself for 20hr days (I don't, I pay myself for 38hrs/wk while frequently working over 100), the endless jibes about my appearance, the concern trolling about my son and lies about my parenting...

I was part of that discussion. No one claimed they knew she paid herself the living wage for 20 hour days. We were all making fun of this whole 'yes, the BBC is paying me lots for this, but I'm just paying myself the living wage' in addition to her constantly claiming to work 20 hour days. Both statements she has made repeatedly on various social media platforms. We just put those two together for comic effect, m'lud, shilst also pointing out that if you get paid X and you choose to live of Y (where y=x-z), you are not paying yourself a different wage. You are living within your means. Which is what everyone with a minimum of life skills tries to do (though I completely acknowledge not everyone can).

I rest my case.
