Snapchatter's Mental Health

Emmser

I know many bloggers have openly admitted to having anxiety and depression. However does anyone follow riona little? She's not your typical snapchatter. Today she posted some disturbing snaps. I unfollowed today as it broke my heart a little. I followed her initially as I think Rosemary Mcc blogged about her when she had a sugar daddy and was living in the UK. She's since moved home to Ireland and comes from a lovely family. Just sad seeing someone so upset and not being in any position to help as she's just someone whom you watch but don't know. We really see her ups and downs unfold on screen. Sometimes I feel we're living alongside The Truman Show. If someone had told me ten years ago I'd be watching this stuff, I would have said never in a million years would I be that nuts!! Well, it appears I am!

I saw some of these snaps, I couldn’t want them all - it was just heartbreaking for me to see a 19(?) year old girl in that way. She seems to have a lot of issues and god love her she doesn’t seem to be coping well.

She did come back on later to explain herself and said that they were in the moment thoughts.

But just heartbreaking to see someone so young so broken.

I think riona is her own worst enemy
There's no doubt theres mental illness at play but I think a lot of her problems stem from attention seeking and trying to be famous

Riona has ASD and BPD. That is a lot for anyone to contend with. I certainly wouldn't be slagging her on an internet forum.

I don't think that is slagging, it's honest - trying to be famous can have a very negative affect in your health.

It can have a similar affect on your mental health as any other well recognised addiction.

She is obviously a very vulnerable, unwell girl and it saddens me to think that she could (and probably has been) very easily taken advantage of by the wrong sort. Putting up endless snaps about how much she wants d*ck, taking provocative videos with her lady bits pretty much on full show and begging her followers to comment on some random mans Instagram tagging her username to get his attention is the wrong way to go about things.
If I were related to her I'd be terrified by her behaviour. She's either going to get into legal trouble or badly hurt if she continues on this path.

Having obsessions is something that is really common with ASD. My stepson is the same age as Riona almost and has ASD, he is obsessed with computer games and becoming a youtuber. It has a negative effect on his mental health but you can't just say that and expect him to stop. It is not that simple. I don't see what is to be gained by pointing these things out on public forums, if it is trying to help then perhaps a bit of research on ASD wouldn't go astray. It just comes across as catty.

Sorry, I understand she may have ASD but her content is so provocative it could get her in harms way, she could end up in a very dangerous situation just based off the things she shares and does.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with pointing that out, I'd also be concerned by this behaviour, ASD or not.
Her ASD does not excuse the fact that she's putting herself into situations where she can be taken advantage of.

Its actually very sad, she was admitted to a mental health hospital for a couple of months recently enough.

She constantly posts about how much she wants d*ck and sex, talks about her genitals, she worked as a prostitute in Amsterdam and Spain (open to correction on this, can't remember properly). She posts videos in her underwear, she begs men for attention and has had a Sugar Daddy.
She is only in her early 20's and could very easily be exploited she's so unwell. I would be sick with worry if she was my sister.

I'm sorry she sits drinking codine from a glass in her drug dealer boyfriends apt and hole her mother is frantic and she broadcasts that to thousands of people knowing full well her mothers worried sick. ASD or not, she knows her parents are upset and she knows people will react to her putting up videos of her roofieing herself and it is her attention seeking. She wants a man to put her up in an apartment and bank roll her like she's a kardashian. She knows she has thousands of teenagers following her too. She needs to get a grip.

The poster I quoted wasn't pointing anything out about riona putting herself in harms way. It was glib comment about her being obsessed with fame and being her own worst enemy.

Maybe it is a just a touchy subject for me. Having a stepson who has just come of age and has ASD, there is nothing we can do to stop him doing things that we know will pan out badly in the long term, he is an adult now and by law can make those decisions. Telling him it is bad won't work, telling him he is putting himself in danger won't work, therapy so far hasn't worked, nothing works and it is like watching a car crash in slow motion. I see Riona and I see very similar. My stepson can't help it and Riona probably can't either. It is hard to describe the helplessness and the lack of support you get when dealing with an adult with ASD. Things that seem so obvious to us, just aren't to them and if Riona is anything like my stepson she will be determined that she knows best no matter what anyone says and there doesn't seem to be much you can do to change that.

I would hate to see people online slagging my stepson for things he cannot help, I cannot imagine what it must be like for Rionas family. I feel for them all.

It was Greece (not that it matters really) and she’s only 18/19. I would be so worried about her too, she only did her leaving cert last year. She put up a pic last year of her lady bits on Snapchat. It’s very sad to see someone crumble the way she does. She needs real help and real friends.

I actually thought she was much older, thanks for clarifying. That's actually awful, her parents must be worried sick about her.

Is it just me who thought last night's antics with the car were totally set up?

Is riona little still on snapchat? I thought her account was closed. I work with a youth group and it was them who told me about her last year and after her snap account was gone I thought she was staying away from social media.

And asking her followers to "add these guys and give them abuse", is purely set up to boost the following of the guys involved.

All sounds very sad, I'm not familiar with her, I didn't know she existed before this thread is she on SC? (Couldnt find anything online)

Does anyone else think that Fairy is in as much of help as Riona but for different reasons? Seems to be living one massive lie and that's not right

If we were to put every single person under the microscope, we'd all need help (some more than others obviously). I think the issue is that some show us everything, including their flaws and others are far more savvy. Take Pippa for instance, obviously the whole candle debacle is upsetting but we don't see that. If that happened to The MUF, she'd be on Snapchat calling out the h8trs!! Call me strange but I'd rather the MUF with all her flaws than Pippa, the successful business woman. Two years ago I was all about Pippa but not anymore. Yes the MUF has issues, no denying it, but at least we know that, we'll never ever know Pippa's. That's who and what she is, she's a business woman. I prefer 'real'. Joanne sometimes thinks she's playing a smart game and coming across a certain way, but she's as transparent as glass, she just doesn't know it and that's why I've become fond of her. Never showing her forehead/hairline, altering photos, constant filters, yes it's definitely not good body positivity but we know why she does it and that makes her more real to me. Someday I hope she gets help, ditches all the crap and comes out honest like she did with her hair.

Yeah I don't think that Riona and Fairy compare at all. Riona has some serious mental health and drug issues, miles apart from Fairy. I also don't think people can really be compared like this because I think everyone has some sort of issue at some stage of theirs lives, whether they show it or not.

But I do get seriously irritated with Fairys serious editing of pictures attached with #bodygoals and everything else with #lifegoals and #couplegoals etc. Its adding to the pressure of unattainable goals on social media and I really hope that young people these days are being thought about the difference between social media life and real life.

I do think fairy has serious issues. She’s a gorgeous woman and by all accounts a nice person. But she is clearly deeply unhappy in herself and I do find that sad. She drives me mental the way she goes on but at the heart of it I do feel sad that she feels the need to make up this wonderful life/body/etc when she’s perfectly fine as she is!

As for Fairy and Pippa. I think we don't see the moany/sad side of Pippa because she has a family and kids so her priorities and different. I don't imagine Pippa has much to complain about happily married with two kids and a successful business.

I think Pippa holds back a lot - she's a mother and a little older so I don't think she would be as comfortable opening up on social media the same way MUF has. Some people are just more composed.

I wouldn't think Pippa has nothing to complain about - motherhood can be very stressful and you really don't know what someone else's marriage is like - things aren't always as they seem....

I don't like to speculate about people's mental health weather they are celebrity, a blogger politician or some other public personality. I disliked salacious nature of concern around Brittney or Shinead O'Connor when they had their meltdowns. It's the same with bloggers. Unless public personalities themselves want to discuss their mental health there is no point speculating about it. Amateur mental health assessment online certainly won't make anyone better.

Pippa is very aware of the brand ‘her’ that she sells. She isn’t going to post in a trackie, with a hun bun and sudocreme on her spots. Or that Brian and the kids are driving her nuts (and nor should she). While I get some bloggers try to be ‘real’ and that I feel very uncomfortable with some of the more open posts etc. it’s out there for everyone and if you are having mental health issues I don’t think that’s always a good thing.

Lindy97

Agreed, it's one thing to be "real" but it's a whole other to put your whole life warts and all online. I guarantee the ones laughing at these folks wouldn't dream of doing it themselves.
Also, how is watching someone sitting there giving out about their kids, looking a mess, or basically making no effort at all, inspirational? Its a word I see thrown about towards a few of these people and I just don't get it? Is sitting around most of the day, acting like doing basic housekeeping earns you a parade, inspirational to some people?

retro:electro

I just don't think Pippa would gain anything from putting her hard times online. Other bloggers feel strength in sharing, others are more private and may talk to a family member or a professional over a 100k complete strangers.

But blogging is often done from a very personal point of view. Anyway it might not be professional but people sometimes have issues that spill into the professional life. We had someone who hung himself on the work premises after marriage breakdown. That wasn't professional and certainly not pleasant for his brother who found him in the morning however that didn't seem to be an issue then. And it would be certainly preferable if he came to work crying his hart out.

People can have mental health issues, sometimes they damage their business because of them but frankly mental health is more important than bottom line. I have a friend who was a general manager of a company with about 200 employees who threw up every morning before going to work. He eventually quit and is much happier now. To hell with being professional, sometimes it's not all about building a brand and sometimes is just about not abusing other people's mental health issues for your own fables about what is professional.

I can get while some bloggers want to appear "real" but to be quite frank I really don't want to hear about the boring mundane stuff. I watch social media when I have a spare few minutes to have a cuppa, I don't want to waste that precious time hearing someone moan, talk about laundry, waffle etc.
I don't feel like I need to know everything about bloggers, in fact I find that I respect bloggers more when they keep certain parts of their life private.

I am the opposite to this I think. I'm not into fashion or make up or any of that type of stuff, so product reviews/demos/hauls aren't my thing at all. I find the materialism and constant pushing of crap irritating.

Mundane vlogs though, I love them. I have a few youtubers I watch who daily vlog and I love my 20mins in the evening watching mindless crap to unwind.

There is definitely a place for both out there imo. Some people prefer the more personal rather than business orientated blogs, for sure I get much higher interaction across my social media when I give little behind the scenes insights in my life rather than solely focusing on the main topic of my blog/social media.

See a couple of comments that ASD doesn't excuse her behaviour, and ignoring the reference to BPD. Don't know of her before opening this thread, but her behaviour would fit in pretty well with BPD.

It's an unfortunate combination. Autism can be managed by control of your environment and yourself. BPD makes it unlikely you would be able to control either.

Fairy saying she had a panic attack yesterday. Then went & did a 5k run & gym session.
Personally I can’t move after an attack my heart is beating fast for 2 hours & I throw up & on the toilet.
She said she cured hers a few years ago with mindfulness & meditation.
It truly amazes me how these bloggers can have attacks then a few minutes later they are back to showing off again.

While I can understand the likes of going for a run, getting fresh air and clearing your head. As you said what about the physical side of a panic attack?

I feel a bit sorry for Siobhan oh fitness. She can never seem to get a nice figure. I look at the likes of lily sabri that has an unbelievable body & then I see Siobhan’s I feel secretly she wants to give up the lifestyle but is addicted to the attention of social media.
She seems like a lovely lovely girl.
I wonder which blogger will be the second ( after that oz one can’t remember her name) to hold there hand up & say this is all fake I’m actually misreable here trying to be perfect for likes. Feck this I’m turning the phone off & living in peace!

I think this is a really mean post. She has a gorgeous figure. People need to stop comparing themselves to other people and likewise, you shouldn't be comparing her to someone else.

I am not a fan of the body builder look - but that's obviously what she's going for and she works hard so good luck to her.

Its so unnecessary to critique other women's bodies!

I didnt want to start a thread solely for a question so am just sticking it in here (prob not as OT as one may think as NO doubt she is on snapchat )

Hoping someone can put me out of my misery about an article I saw last year some time about a blogger here in Ireland, who got an invite to a big award thingy and didnt want to attend. She was the SLATED at the award ceremony on the back of it. I mean, real mean girl stuff!! There was a visual presentation and all if I remember correctly! She posted about it afterwards and said "this is why I didnt want to go in the first place" etc (ie the nastiness of the whole side of the industry)

Anyone remember who it was?

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

Rosemary MacCabe

Lindy97

It was Rosemary, they didn't have a presentation but when her name was called out in the category she was nominated in, there were boos and Grace, who was the presenter said her name in a really bitchy sarcastic way. Rosemary had sent her sister flowers on her wedding day so it was a ****ty thing to do but they met up afterwards and they're all cool now, well as cool as any of these "friendships" are in that industry.
