It's also cute that you're all trying to play psychologist but this is one of the times were I have to agree that you really can't judge someone's mental state on videos where they choose what they show. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This entire forum is playing psychologist, and the quote tree was absolutely messed up to fuck so I apologise for the confusion
I guess those calling me out have never met someone or has heard of those who fake mental health disorders but ok make me the bad guy for not believing her. It's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. I'm not trying to stigmatize depression. I myself suffer from depression and lost my brother to suicide. My other brother is currently suicidal. So I am DEFINITELY not trying to stigmatize mental health issues. But I've seen it done before where people fake serious things. Depression, suicide attempts, pregnancies, cancer. I'm weary of people. Sorry NOT sorry.

It's called giving the benefit of the doubt. There are plenty of weirdos about who fake lots of different things but there are more people who aren't faking things. You have the stand of guilty until proven innocent, the rest of us have the stand of innocent until proven guilty. Different strokes for different folks.
Maybe it's all the super nanny I've watched, but to me her kids do not seem bratty...they seem well behaved if anything! Sure Nolan made be going through a rough patch, but he's only Like 3, and has had a major life change recently. just my opinion but I'm surprised people think that her children are brats.

I've never got her calling the kids bratty. They're spoiled, but for what it's worth they appear to have manners and they always play quietly from what we see.
To clarify, I didn't, nor did I see anyone, comparing depression to cancer.
I personally meant we don't tell people with physical illnesses to just get up and get over it, or ask why they can't just take their kids out of the house and we don't tell them to make more of an effort, etc. Just because you can't always see depression doesn't mean someone still can't struggle with feeling like crap and not wanting to or being able to do things.
Anyway, I didn't see many people minimizing it so it wasn't about the board as a whole.
Any way, I'm still waiting for her 'wash claus' Collection video.
Her kids are bratty as hell, because they're spoiled. She edits it all. Which is fine, but it's unrealistic. People don't want to see that, they want to relate.
I'm sure she hides a lot just to give the perfect image. Who knows maybe her kids misbehaving isn't that bad to us but it's 100x worse for her because of her depression. I think her definition of BAD or CRAZY is when the kids throw fits when they don't get their way. Now that right there is a problem.

Some of the posts I see on here are exactly things I hear from the people in my life that don't have depression, which is sadly everyone lol. I'm going to get kind of personal for a sec so buckle up or skip it.
"everyone gets sad sometimes"
True, but depression is an overwhelming sadness that is literally all the time for weeks/months on end. There is no light at the end of the tunnel. It's hopeless and they can't cope anymore with day to day life/struggles.
"Other people have it worse than you" or "what do you have to be depressed about"
My personal favorite. Something that often accompanies depression is guilt. Guilt because you KNOW other people have it worse and even those people aren't depressed so you feel like you have no right to be either. So then you feel like a piece of shit.
"You'll be happier if you do xyz more"
That may be, but I can't pry myself out of bed or out of my own head for that matter so I guess I'll never know. Then there's that guilt again. You feel guilty because you know you would probably feel better doing Xyz but can't bring yourself to do it so then you just feel worse. It's a vicious cycle.
If you truly have suffered from depression then you would understand how infuriating it is to hear some of these comments. To have people thinking it's just a phase and then offering you their asinine "solutions" to a problem they don't even believe you have. I guess it's easier to dismiss B and say she's just some bored white girl.
I wholeheartedly believe B is struggling right now and I think she has no one to turn to. She said she is going to look into therapy and I really hope she does. Mental illness is seriously a pain in the ass to get help for though. She'll need one doc for therapy and one for medication because most psychiatrists don't do therapy and if they do, they usually don't accept insurance. Then, even with insurance it can still be expensive. I see why it was easy for her to just go to her primary care physician and explain a few symptoms and get put on meds. Who knows if he even took the time to listen to her and figure out the problem.

I totally agree plus depression is a very individual illness, people deal differently and suffer to varying degrees , one person can cope a lot better than another we're not clones

I don't think she was comparing depression just using it as an example , as in people would have much more sympathy for someone with a physical illness rather than a mental illness,
On the bratty kids conversations, I would say kids in general play up if they sense a weakness in a parent , if I'm ill and not on my game they seize that opportunity like blood hounds and milk it dry aha

Eh still sounds like they were being compared to me.
