Here's a phrase for the 90's ''Man the f**k up!!'' shower of greetin faced twats, and easily more than 50% of them are lying b*****ds. People can't be affected because other people have been affected worse? Sorry i defended you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Mental health and mental illness are serious issues and I'm sure the lockdown/Covid restrictions exacerbate that for some people but it seems to be the new go-to line for the anti-lockdown, anti-mask, herd immunity advocates. If we kept everything people say need to be open because closing them is detrimental to their mental health, nothing would be shut and Covid would run riot even more than it is now.

Dons_1988 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) I don't doubt there's some cynical use of the mental health stuff out there, particularly business owners who claim the big reason they want to open up is for the sake of their customers mental health. It's ok to want to make money, guys. However, Gus has made a bad point appallingly and compounded with it a clear dismissal of it for anyone who doesn't have some sort of terminal condition.

Bert Raccoon Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 A friend recently approached me and told me he was struggling with his mental health to which I simply replied "Eat My Shorts" which caused him to forget the crippling debt he's in and the fact his wife's left him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

effeffsee_the2nd Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 The lockdown has left me fed up, crabbit and a bit worried about the future of my employment. It hasn’t affected my mental health , to describe the things I mentioned above as mental health issues is incredibly trivialising to actual mental health, in the same way that everycunt has “social anxiety “ now insteas of just being shy / lacking in confidence However if we had an ultra strict enforced lockdown like spain or china (which i thought were inhumane) where you were not allowed out for exercise and only to the shops once a week then that would absolutely f**k my mental health. I need out for fresh air and a bit exercise or i get seriously restless 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need out for fresh air and a bit exercise or i get seriously restless I think the term you're describing is your mental wellbeing - and it's incredibly important.I could be wrong here but mental health is more relating to whether you have fine mental health or a mental illness of some sort (diagnosed or not).But mental wellbeing is something we all need to take more seriously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mental health and wellbeing are one in the same really. It's generally about your thoughts and in particular your mood. Mental Illness is just that, a diagnosed illness. MH and wellbeing are indeed really important and folk should open up more about how they are feeling to people they are close to. But sadly we still live in a society where idiotic views like "man the f**k up" are commonplace. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
