[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She does have a new post up this morning. She has warned that her blog is going to be focused on mental health for a little while. Anyone here who doesn't read her blog will not understand but this is how she plans to work through her problems.[/quote]

Because that's what's trendy now. It's all about getting clicks. [/quote]

Right, the suicide attempt was all a means to draw traffic.  :roll: [/quote]

She got several hundred posts telling her how brave she was.  No, I don't think she posted for the clicks.  But she posted for feedback and she got it.  [/quote]

Yeah, this is all very dangerous for any unstable followers she may have.  Plus, she posts about a suicide attempt and gets tons of praise and warmth from cyberspace strangers. I think that is much better than getting criticism of negativity of any kind for illness, but what message does it send? The support from her immediate circle should be enough. Who knows which of her fans is desperate for this sort of attention too. She is mentally ill and I wish her mental health, stability, strength and happiness. I'm sure having an online diary is healthy.

Plus, she is profiting from this breakdown in a way, though of course I don't think that was her intention. She gets companies to pay her for mads based on how many clicks she can bring in. Her numbers are going up. I don't think she did it on purpose, but now there is another form of reinforcement for highly alarming behavior.

She needs to step away from the internet and focus solely on her family and maintaining her mental health. It may feel good to vent and get fanmail, but in the end I wonder if it will keep her from truly becoming healthy.[/quote]
