Social Distancing v Isolation

Fed up reading in Newspapers and seeing on TV people going out for exercise, shopping etc and then claiming that time in isolation is not good for their mental health..

You are not in isolation. You are social distancing... isolation is not being able to go out your front door for 7.5 weeks, being unable to see your kids..

Rant over..

Celebrities making themselves look stupid in all of this.

I don’t think it’s fair to compare situations. Mental health can be affected in any circumstance.

If you were to stub your toe, it doesn’t stop hurting because someone somewhere else has broken their leg.

I think ‘being kind’ should be extended to EVERYONE, and people should be free from judgement of others.

Absolutely!

You never know someone's situation, just because they have a pool or they are rich does not mean they are happy and free of mental health issues.

Anyone can suffer with that

Exactly.

To be fair, I'm coping just fine in this situation. But I know I would be a lot better if I had loads of land to keep me busy and not having to worry about paying next months rent.

I'd like to be able to sit at home and think, oh you know what, I'm going to order £1000 worth of gym equipment to my house or I'm going into my huge back yard and I'm going sort all them s out etc

Absolutely. I'm not saying that no celebrities have mental health issues or aren't affected by this, but how many are worried about being able to pay the bills this month? How many are having to make the choice between when to eat themselves and when to feed their kids because they don't have enough food? How many are desperate to get back to work to earn money, but petrified of having to use busy public transport to get there? How many have absolutely no outside space and a small home so are literally looking at the same four walls every day? I'm guessing that not many celebrities will be experiencing these types of worries on top of the missing people, not being allowed out etc that are affecting us all.

I have a few thoughts about this. A person’s personal circumstances do not predict or predicate the degree to which they might suffer from mental health issues. The idea that wealthy people suffer less, or poor people suffer more, might seem obvious, but it isn’t the truth. Not then when it comes to mental health. Mental distress is not a comparable condition, it has no respect for wealth or family, fame or status. I suffered severe mental and emotional abuse at the hands of others, so much so that it pushed me to brink of suicide. Twice. Would it have been easier if I was rich? No. No amount of money would have changed anything, or lessoned the scars, trigger and vulnerabilities I have been left with. My personal circumstances don’t affect anything. What does matter is the kindness, compassion, respect, patience, understanding, and - in my case - the forgiveness of others. This has real value, and makes a much bigger difference than money ever could.

No but you very clearly implied it an earlier post when you said "easier to do it in comfort" and defended that comment with "try living in poverty".

So it's a recurring theme across multiple posts and interpreted the same by a number of posters.

Maybe you could clarify what you meajtbin those comments because arguing "I didn't say that" is nothing but semantics. If I misunderstand I'll be the first to apologise once I understand what it was you meant.

I've worked in NHS in-patient facilities at Springfield Hospital in Tooting and, The Bethlam. I've also worked at The Priory in Putney. I've worked for years with people living with long term conditions. All whilst battling mental health issues sometimes severe.

How about you ?

No but you very clearly implied it an earlier post when you said "easier to do it in comfort" and defended that comment with "try living in poverty".

So it's a recurring theme across multiple posts and interpreted the same by a number of posters.

Maybe you could clarify what you meajtbin those comments because arguing "I didn't say that" is nothing but semantics. If I misunderstand I'll be the first to apologise once I understand what it was you meant.

I'm not arguing anything. I stated my experience in the field.

And can you clarify what that is?

I've worked in NHS in-patient facilities at Springfield Hospital in Tooting and, The Bethlam. I've also worked at The Priory in Putney. I've worked for years with people living with long term conditions. All whilst battling mental health issues sometimes severe.

How about you ?"

Personally I'm not going to post my CV on a swingers forum...

I didnt ask what you have done. I asked you to explain or clarify your comments about mental health and wealth, they've clearly caused confusion, you keep ascertaining that you didn't say something that people have perceived you have to have said but seem to be completely opposed to explaining what was meant

"I don’t think it’s fair to compare situations. Mental health can be affected in any circumstance.

If you were to stub your toe, it doesn’t stop hurting because someone somewhere else has broken their leg.

I think ‘being kind’ should be extended to EVERYONE, and people should be free from judgement of others.

Absolutely!

You never know someone's situation, just because they have a pool or they are rich does not mean they are happy and free of mental health issues.

Anyone can suffer with that

Easier to do it in comfort though

How is any kind of mental health problem raised to cope with in 'comfort'?

Try having mental health issues on benefits living in poverty.

How do you know I don't???

I've worked in this field both in NHS and private hospitals for mental health

Yet seemingly have little knowledge of it. Poverty can exacerbate mental health but they suggestion wealth can eliminate it or reduces it is completely wrong

They are your words not mine

So you are saying wealth eliminate mental health?

I didn't say that

As for social distancing....turns out I'm a pro & this is quite normal for us, schools being off is like the summer holidays.

"I wish we could stop sniping at each other. Threads about rich versus poor and the validity of mental health cannot possibly be compared and have a kind outcome on here, it seems."
