Best wishes for Ben. I am currently really struggling myself so I really hope he's ok.
Big hug to you...Best wishes for Ben. I am currently really struggling myself so I really hope he's ok.
Thankfully things are good at the moment and stable, but it's ALWAYS in the back of my mind.
I'm currently half way through watching bb13 and I'm wondering why there is so much hate for him on this forum. Please excuse my ignorance, I tried to find old comments about Ben but I can't find any. Do people hate him because he was seen as being self absorbed?...I'm not sure why there is so much hate and I'm a little confused!I have always been an avid supporter of Benny, even when I was almost the only person left on here defending him last year. He has had a horrid time on SM from the haters and I could never understand the vendetta against him. I thought he was handling it well but it has clearly eaten away at him.
I just hope some people can learn to REFRAIN from propagating vicious rumours about current HM's... People they don't even know and feel so at ease being vindictive towards on their OWN SM sites.
The fkn hypocrisy makes me sick.

Thank you so much for explaining this to me. I was wondering if Ben stuffed up towards the end of his time in the bb house - because I'm only up to episode 60. He probably was playing up a bit, doesn't everyone in that house? Ah well, I still loved him. Hope he gets better soonA lot of it was because while Ben was in the house, information about him previously having done a bit of stand-up emerged. People assumed he was faking his anxiety/nerves, bunging on his personality & mannerisms etc
This is so true! I have to keep my meds locked up because of not only the fact that they have street value but also cause of the possibility of overdose by someone who hasn't been prescribed it but takes them anyway. That's not being pushy but speaking sense.Not trying to be pushy. But prescription drugs are real drugs. Just because a doctor prescribes them doesn't make them safe. Docs prescribe things that interact poorly with each other. You forget what you took, when. And next thing you know, you are waking up in the emergency room getting your stomach pumped or injected with Ativan. Or worse. Most people who have odes we see in our er have od'd on prescribed meds.
So many ppl have no problem being nasty on SM. They don't think about the fact there is a real person behind the screen name and you never know just what they're going through. Ppl have committed suicide (or tried to) because of cyber bullying. One of the reasons I think staying off SM might be best for a time yet it would be hard to do if that was your main source of ppl interaction.Exactly, depression isnt something that will just go away. I dont know whether Ben's was accidental or intentional, but IF he overdosed on prescription drugs, then he can't be trusted at this stage, to medicate himself. He needs more careful monitoring and in my opinion, shouldnt be left alone. I had my own issues some years ago and you read about these things as a being ' a cry for help'. Believe me, mine wasnt a cry for help, I just didnt want to be here any more. Fortunately, I sorted out my own problems, with a lot of help and I am OK today.
I posted earlier about thinking the Instagram photo of the hospital wrist band, was tacky. I would think that social, or any other kind of media is NOT the place to be, in the few hours after such an event, if depressed. I know I'll get slammed for this, but it had a bit of "look at me, look at me" about it, as though he was still seeking attention or approval from others, or trying to still be relevant. I hope Ben gets ALL the help and support he needs, but I dont think he should be looking for, or will find it on Twitter or Facebook.
I think that Ch9 has a duty of care to anyone that goes into the house and I'm not so sure that their psych tests filter out unsuitable people. I've read enough about The Biggest Loser people, saying that once the programme was finished, so did the support. I am NOT blaming Ch9 for any of this, this is all down to Ben and how he deals with it. I wish him a speedy recovery and if I could offer him one sentence of advice, I would say "stay off Facebook and Twitter" until you are in a much better head space.
