And all the while being told what to think, what to say, how to act. Comparing ourselves to others from a young age, getting teenagers in the mindset to flirt with stress and anxiety with exams, so that if they do well, they can take more exams, often for a job that doesn't even exist yet. Who is telling you what to think, what to say, and how to act? Can you not just ignore them? Quote
Moderators Zico Posted August 24, 2023 Moderators Posted August 24, 2023 Social media can be shite But it's just an outlet There's as much positive stuff being expressed and shared as there is shite Twitter comments depress me, just random folk arguing and trying to make each other look twats But these type of people existed before social media You might as well blame the internet And you'd be wrong Quote

I do miss the old days though - radio, print, TV, loads of Out of Home, easier to do and costs more and less management; but there you go. Actually I need to chat, looking at holidays next year but not being part of the millionaires club I'm working to a tight budget. Tight budgets are my forte. Quote

Was at suicide prevention training a few months back and so much of it seemed to come back to social media & all the things @only1swanny was talking about. Social media has its benefits but it shouldn’t be given to children. It shouldn’t be accessed by teens until they’re 17/18 & have been educated to prepare for it.

His points are pretty valid. Don't follow RW and get caught up in irrelevant points. x Quote

Obviously post seizure, the brain is a bit haywire, but that was getting better. However, it's as if we went from full summer to autumn instantaneously. No doubt this bastard weather has brought it on a bit sooner, it's a cunt. Quote

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted August 28, 2023 Site Supporter Posted August 28, 2023 Cheers gents. Had a good night's sleep last night. After 2 rough ones. Shaky shoulders and lower legs this morning, but definitely a bit better. Lad's off to uni soon, and we've had some stressful times over his future, which hasn't helped. Apron strings and all that!

At the moment, there is a big social movement of acceptance and understanding, which is good in its own right, but this has also led to too many people deciding "they've got mental health" without remotely knowing the difference between a genuine illness and a difficult/stressful period. That's why we have GP services etc. Quote
