Popular area "mom blogger" attempted suicide

[Anonymous]

Someone once said that a blogger is just "an attention whore without enough talent to make it as an actor" and nothing has stuck with me more than that.

I've known a few in my lifetime and that's very accurate.

Let's hope she doesn't read this. This sort of thing is the last thing someone in a fragile state of mind needs to see. I hope mods will delete out of human decency.

SHE MADE HERSELF PUBLIC.

She can delete her blog if she feels the need.

I agree it's 100% inappropriate, irresponsible, etc to put all this out where her easily identifiable kids or their tween friends can see it.

Wow.

But, did she seriously post a video of her singing happy birthday with her kid right after a suicide attempt? The contradiction in tone is enough to make my head spin and the appropriateness of it? I feel sorry for that child. Stop posting anything with your kids and go fix yourself so you can take care of them.

No - that was right before her attempt. Let's please not bash her here.

Why not? I still think that is vastly inappropriate. Yes, I hope she gets well but that speaks volumes

Trying to wrap my head around someone asking "why not?" to the statement, "Let's please not bash her here."

This is what is wrong with our society today, and is an example of why social media is one of the main causes of rising suicide rates. Dear God.

I've read her for years and always really liked her.

This.

NP. She has a public blog. There’s nothing inappropriate about talking about someone who puts their personal life on display. If you don’t want to participate in the thread then don’t read it.

Another NP. Agree 100%.

Third NP who agrees. When you put yourself into the public with all of your problems, you cede control of your privacy. I'm not sure if there is a stat, but I suspect suicides and attempted suicides increase when celebrities commit suicide.

"She made herself public, so by God, you can bet I'm going to kick her while she's down! That's on her."

Wow, is right. Seriously??

On one hand, I don’t get Mommy bloggers. However, if she does have depression and she’s being open about it...maybe it can help someone.

On her own blog, she is getting hundreds of posts congratulating her on her bravery. Lots of support.

I'm not kicking her. I wish her peace and good mental health. I think posting about it on a public 'mommy blog' especially considering the ages of her kids is mind-boggling.

I am a regular reader and shocked. Yes, she has blogged about anxiety and depression, but, wow. I wish her all the best for her recovery and continued health. I understand why people don't like the idea of blogging about her children, but almost everything she writes about her kids and her husband is loving and positive, and anything negative is gentle and humorous (legos on the floor, bickering).

[Anonymous]

I think Bloggers and (worse) vloggers who profit from over sharing details about their children are probably messing up their kids’ lives one way or another.

It’s like reality show children and Hollywood children before that.

The laws needed to protect children are always slow to catch up to these new mediums of exploitation.

Agree with you. And for her to write "I'm here to stay" when clearly she has serious mental health issues. It makes it seem like she is taking this very lightly. Scary.

You mean, "a writer"? Pretty accurate assessment, if you ask me.

I don't know who this woman is, but I hope her mental helth improves, she comes to her senses and finally understands, for her and her family's sakes, that certain things are better left private.

Attention seeking.

What happened to privacy?

She posted about this on her public blog, and this post will drive traffic to that blog.

OP is probably the blogger.
