"I'm guessing she will get sick pay " Oh actually don’t worry According to IPSA she gets full pay: “From the date they are elected MPs receive their full salary only...” Phew that’s a relief And can we all not call MPs names in future. Cheers  | |||

"Shaming someone who is ill, great stuff! Yeah those Afghanistan tours have really taken it out of her" I was unfortunate to see a guy lose his life & head under a london underground train . PTSD is not reliant on " A TOUR OF AFGHANISTAN " . It is an offensive comment from anyone who has seen any kind of trauma . | |||

Child abuse can be aquated to psycholgical abuse & not physical & Can lead to suicide ( common in all ptsd sufferers ) If its possible to say this about children It must be possible to say it for people who are not children . Dont get me wrong Im not saying it equates to a soldier seeing someone blown up Or trauma from a.natural disaster , some of us have the fortitude of having a very thick skin . Some of us arent .

I also agree that adults can be psychologically abuse and not physically. I just don't see that it amounts to PTSD. Maybe thats my own understanding of that disorder. I genuinely don't mean to belittle anyone suffering from any Mental Health issues but for me personally there are levels. And I see PTSD as being up there near the top. | |||

Biggest cause of PTSD is car crashes apparently. It is just the brains way of dealing with an abnormal situation. I don't know what this person has gone through but I hope they are ok. | |||

"The daily mail has somewhat found it relevant to say she supported blm,was against colonial statues and it close to jeremy corbyn. Utterly integral to the story off course." The Daily Mail also quote her as saying she doesn't look at her social media. So it can't be that that's the cause I wouldn't think. We won't know whats going on in her life unless she speaks up which I doubt she will. | |||

No good asking a load of swingers why certain journalists feel certain information is important | |||

So, where is the misogyny? The definition is:-"is the hatred of, contempt for, or prejudice against women or girls." Please, use your jiggery-wokery-twistery to define your claim against that definition. None of what I said was specifically toward a female comparative and could be equally applied to a man. Your turn - make me laugh some more please  | |||

"Shaming someone who is ill, great stuff! Yeah those Afghanistan tours have really taken it out of her I was unfortunate to see a guy lose his life & head under a london underground train . PTSD is not reliant on " A TOUR OF AFGHANISTAN " . It is an offensive comment from anyone who has seen any kind of trauma ." Offence is taken, not given. The internet is probably not for you if you get upset over words | |||

The internet is probably not for you if you get upset over words" Can you show me somewhere that i stated i have been traumatised ? I saw an incident , that could cause some people a lot of trauma Didnt bother me at all really other than i saw it . What bothers me is when some people abuse Those who cant necessarily defend themselves . So the internet is a great place for me Hence why i use it . I have a great time doing it . I'm not so sure others enjoy it to much though . Cheers for thinking about me enough to comment though . It filled a minute of my time , but thats about the only Benefit i got from it . | |||

"“Britain's youngest MP today announced she is taking 'several weeks' away from work on doctor's orders after being diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).... Labour's Nadia Whittome, who represents Nottingham East, said she had realised it is not 'feasible' to manage her condition alongside full-time work. She said: 'On the advice of my doctor, I'm going to be taking some time away from work for health reasons. Constituents should continue to contact my office as normal - my staff will be there to assist you'.

Are they not allowed to be ill now?
After all many MPs of all parties have been ill before and come back..I did not say she could not come back but at a future time maybe but in the meantime her constituents need an active MP.
Anyway stress is not like the flu you know She should resign
What ,Like Boris did when he went to intensive care last year fearing for his life when he got covid ?". That is hardly a like for like comparison. Boris was on deaths doorstep whereas it is a lot more difficult to assess mental health issues . I would expect anyone who is an MP to be able to cope with mental health issues and stress. She is in a privileged position in that she is being paid in full while signed off sick by a Doctor. Compare that to an employee in the private sector who might not receive any pay whilst off work. Whilst people with mental health issues deserve sympathy and understanding there must also be a recognition that a illness such as this makes you unsuitable for certain types of employment. You could not be enployed as a roofer if you were afraid of heights. That is reality and nothing to do with discrimination. If someone who was a roofer suddenly became afraid of heights , they would be unable to continue work and would have to seek alternative employment. Their employer could be afford to carry on paying them to do nothing. | |||

"No, you need to be directing that query to the MP, because it’s her that is SPECIFICALLY claiming PTSD, as a result of name calling on social media. A) Her case doesn’t fit the NHS symptoms of PTSD B) Her taking time off on doctors orders is not a recognised treatment of PTSD, which is more therapy based As a few have stated above, seems she is not cut out for the job.

So you are factually incorrect. Suffering from anxiety brought upon by stress (for any reason) can affect anyone, in any job. Your comparison with a fear of heights is therefore also nonsensical,as the condition would have existed before they took the job | |||

Whilst people with mental health issues deserve sympathy and understanding there must also be a recognition that a illness such as this makes you unsuitable for certain types of employment. You could not be enployed as a roofer if you were afraid of heights. That is reality and nothing to do with discrimination.
If someone who was a roofer suddenly became afraid of heights , they would be unable to continue work and would have to seek alternative employment.
Their employer could be afford to carry on paying them to do nothing.
You are confusing stress & Mental Health issues
With PTSD .
2 very different things .
A bit like a broken tibula & a sprained ankle
Both pertain to the Leg , but not in the same way .
As for Boris even more reason to resign from duty if he was
At deaths door until he was able to come back to work .
As for a Roofer & Heights ,
I've worked on very high scaffolds & Towers & cradles .
Before i worked in that field i wasnt to keen on heights .
1 of the guys i worked with soon told me , not to worry about the heights as height doesnt kill you .
Its hitting the ground that tends do that ,
So pay the height the respect it deserves &
You'll soon be fine with heights .
Never thought about it since
Thanks for your contribution though
No, you need to be directing that query to the MP, because it’s her that is SPECIFICALLY claiming PTSD, as a result of name calling on social media.
A) Her case doesn’t fit the NHS symptoms of PTSD
B) Her taking time off on doctors orders is not a recognised treatment of PTSD, which is more therapy based
As a few have stated above, seems she is not cut out for the job. No need to medicalise it.
From your OP.
"Britain's youngest MP today announced she is taking 'several weeks' away from work on doctor's orders after being diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)"
I would trust the doctor over a those outrage merchants who ridicule people suffering with their mental health.
Which doctor? We haven't heard from her doctor.
We've heard from her directly, that's it.
If you're expecting her Dr to sign up to fab and reply to your posts. You might be waiting a while.
As a rhetorical question, no need to answer, but you might discover something about yourself... :
If Chris Grayling had made the same announcement, what would your reply have been?

If she cannot cope with the pressure of the job she should resign politions have to cope with stress abuse etc it goes with the job
Are they not allowed to be ill now?
After all many MPs of all parties have been ill before and come back..I did not say she could not come back but at a future time maybe but in the meantime her constituents need an active MP.
Anyway stress is not like the flu you know She should resign

So you are factually incorrect.
Suffering from anxiety brought upon by stress (for any reason) can affect anyone, in any job.
Your comparison with a fear of heights is therefore also nonsensical,as the condition would have existed before they took the job
"Whilst I agree with most of what you say here, the comment about heights I don't agree with. I used to be absolutely fine with them but as I've got older they seem to have bothered me a bit more. Maybe it was the 'young and fearless' in me? What I'm saying is things can come on at any point in life for anyone. Anyway, if she is off sick, she will be paid, regardless of the reason | |||

If Chris Grayling announced he wanted to take unspecified time off on full pay for PTSD, what would your reaction have been.....
The exact same as with Nadia Whittome. Absolutely no reaction what so ever.
How about you? If it was Chris Grayling, instead, would you ridicule him for his mental health issues?
Actually you've given a big reaction by giving her your full unquestioning support.
Me?
If Chris Grayling announced PTSD?
I'd apply my usual objective analysis, is this reasonable, does it make sense medically.
Not be supine and unquestioning "I think you replied to the wrong person here. I haven't supported or ridiculed Nadia. Anyhow. I stand by all my comments that you laughing at and ridiculing people who suffer from mental heath issues is abhorrent and has no place on the political forums. | |||

"Nadia Whittome is just the latest of young MPs to suffer from a form of mental illness in recent years. Jared O Mara and Mhairi Black have all issues. I hope that this doesn't deter young talent, and lets hope that Ms Whittome comes back after a period of rest. " Jared o Mara, who never turned up to work and has now been sanctioned for sexual harassment? You must be joking..... Tell me you're joking. | |||

"“Britain's youngest MP today announced she is taking 'several weeks' away from work on doctor's orders after being diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).... Labour's Nadia Whittome, who represents Nottingham East, said she had realised it is not 'feasible' to manage her condition alongside full-time work. She said: 'On the advice of my doctor, I'm going to be taking some time away from work for health reasons. Constituents should continue to contact my office as normal - my staff will be there to assist you'. Miss Whittome was elected at the December 2019 election aged just 23, becoming the Baby of the House. “ Hope she can get by on statutory sick pay. Or will she get her whole salary? If she cannot cope with the pressure of the job she should resign politions have to cope with stress abuse etc it goes with the job
Are they not allowed to be ill now?
After all many MPs of all parties have been ill before and come back..I did not say she could not come back but at a future time maybe but in the meantime her constituents need an active MP.
Anyway stress is not like the flu you know She should resign
What ,Like Boris did when he went to intensive care last year fearing for his life when he got covid ?. That is hardly a like for like comparison. Boris was on deaths doorstep whereas it is a lot more difficult to assess mental health issues . I would expect anyone who is an MP to be able to cope with mental health issues and stress. She is in a privileged position in that she is being paid in full while signed off sick by a Doctor. Compare that to an employee in the private sector who might not receive any pay whilst off work.
Whilst people with mental health issues deserve sympathy and understanding there must also be a recognition that a illness such as this makes you unsuitable for certain types of employment. You could not be enployed as a roofer if you were afraid of heights. That is reality and nothing to do with discrimination.
If someone who was a roofer suddenly became afraid of heights , they would be unable to continue work and would have to seek alternative employment.
Their employer could be afford to carry on paying them to do nothing.
You are confusing stress & Mental Health issues
With PTSD .
2 very different things .
A bit like a broken tibula & a sprained ankle
Both pertain to the Leg , but not in the same way .
As for Boris even more reason to resign from duty if he was
At deaths door until he was able to come back to work .
As for a Roofer & Heights ,
I've worked on very high scaffolds & Towers & cradles .
Before i worked in that field i wasnt to keen on heights .
1 of the guys i worked with soon told me , not to worry about the heights as height doesnt kill you .
Its hitting the ground that tends do that ,
So pay the height the respect it deserves &
You'll soon be fine with heights .
Never thought about it since
Thanks for your contribution though
No, you need to be directing that query to the MP, because it’s her that is SPECIFICALLY claiming PTSD, as a result of name calling on social media.
A) Her case doesn’t fit the NHS symptoms of PTSD
B) Her taking time off on doctors orders is not a recognised treatment of PTSD, which is more therapy based
As a few have stated above, seems she is not cut out for the job. No need to medicalise it.
From your OP.
"Britain's youngest MP today announced she is taking 'several weeks' away from work on doctor's orders after being diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)"
I would trust the doctor over a those outrage merchants who ridicule people suffering with their mental health.
Which doctor? We haven't heard from her doctor.
We've heard from her directly, that's it.

Interesting point.
So if Boris said he was taking time off for PTSD, what would your reaction be?
What you seem to be struggling to grasp is that normal people don't belittle those suffering with mental health. The political party they are a member of, is not relevant.
Well that's not the gist of what a member of your crew has just said above
This is a swingers website.
There is no "crew".
I take no responsibility for what other people post on here, and bear no responsibility for the opinions of other people.
You are the only person here belittling mental health sufferers.
Should Jared o mara ever have been selected as a candidate? "I have no opinion. How is this related to your disgusting thread about bashing people with mental health problems? | |||

So if Boris said he was taking time off for PTSD, what would your reaction be? "I would expect Mr Johnson to receive whatever benefits he is entitled to according to his contract of employment, and according to the employment law of the United Kingdom. However as he is a person with a well documented history of untruthfulness, including incidents during the course of his current employment, I would expect the HR department of his employer to look very carefully at his sick note and check his work record. If there is doubt as to the veracity of his claims, it might be that I would expect him to attend an examination by an employer nominated doctor (at employers expense of course) in order to verify the original diagnosis. If the claim was found to be justified then I would expect the employer to continue with the payment of sickness entitlement. If the claim was found to be unjustified then I would expect the employer to deny or reduce the payment (according to whatever terms within the contract of employment) and to issue Mr Johnson with a written warning. If HR department records showed that Mr Johnson had deceived his employer on a number of occasions, and had been issued multiple written warnings, I would expect that at some point the employer should commence dismissal proceedings. If it was found that Mr Johnson had brought his employers name into disrepute to the extent of being found guilty of deception (in a matter connected with the performance of his employment duties) in a court of law, I would expect that there could be justified grounds for summary dismissal. In other words, I would expect Mr Johnson to be treated exactly the same as any other person employed in a public or private position. | |||

"Im not really sure why anybody bothers wasting their time trying to reason or correct this guy. You cant educate stupid.

No one is going to change the mind of the OP. He is entrenched as you can get, but it's good to speak out against the hate he spews. | |||

"Moreover, what is the point of a 23 year old mp. No life experience, no knowledge, nada." . It would be interesting to know why she was selected in the first instance to fight an election ? An older MP would be able to make more rational decisions concerning comments on social media . It sounds like she was not cut out to be an MP and probably far too young to be selected | |||

As a society we have a long long way to go tacking the stigma attached to PTSD and mental health issues. This thread just highlights that. | |||

"My brother also has it from serving in the armed forces, he doesn't think mine is any less serious than his, in fact, he says he now understands me more after realising how debilitating it can be.

Variety of life experience amongst MPs is a disaster waiting to happen. We'd be much better off it they were all middle aged mostly white mostly male mostly lawyers. That way they'll definitely understand the problem of young people, and care workers etc. Also a really good idea to make sure they are all humanities graduates, so they don't have any grasp of the meaning of the word "exponential". I think I just described the cabinet. Certainly the bit about exponential. Still. | |||

Well said.
Sadly the OP has a history of posting a lot of misinformation, hate and Daily Mail type outrage. So this thread is not surprising. | |||
