Is Linda mentally stable?

[GiRTh]

The bitch is obsessed.

[joeysteele]

Awful woman, as to her last comment tonight in the diary room,I wish it was possible to send her to the moon and leave her there.

[Shaun]

yeah she's just a dick

[Z]

No, I don't think she is. I don't know if she's always been this way and it's not my place to judge her on that; but being so bitter, negative and holding onto her hatred for such a long time is only hurting her, not Jim. Jim doesn't care if she thinks he's the worst person in the world, Jim doesn't really seem to care for anyone's opinions in there; focusing on hating Jim so much is only upsetting Linda, not Jim.

[smeagol]

its callum in a dress

she's just bitter at the world and taking it out on jim. really she wants his chaffed chipalater

[Livia]

She's got issues, that's for sure.

[AnnieK]

Not when it comes to Jim certainly but I do think she has some deep seated issues

[Withano]

its callum

ergh! forgot about that guy! He was awful.

[Videostar]

Well, she was suicidal before she went in, her sole purpose in going in was to wind up a man that was once hit his wife while angry and drunk, so processing all that information I would say...........she's totally bonkers and should be strapped to a padded cell straight away.

[jackc1806]

Jim is no saint, but Linda is obsessive about Jim for her own reasons and can't let anything go.

[Daniel.]

I dont see her how not liking someone makes her mentally unstable?

[Z]

Mentally unstable's maybe a bit strong but I think for her own well being she needs to let go of her anger. She doesn't have to forgive him or be his friend, she just needs to let go of her grudge. It can't be healthy to hold a grudge for twenty years, and I say that as someone who has held grudges over petty things for years at a time. It always feels better to put your demons to rest than to just stew in your own bitterness and resentment.

[GiRTh]

I dont see her how not liking someone makes her mentally unstable?If that hatred turns to obsession then it is a sign of mental instability. I've seen it happen in real life. She is obsessed with him. Whatever he does, whatever he says she reads something into it. That is not rational that is not stable.

[Me. I Am Salman]

This is a disgusting and very insulting thread, you can't accuse someone of being mentally unstable. Especially when it's Jim who's clearly the one with issues

[Videostar]

If it's ruining her time in the house and making her totally unhappy (just to look at her face proves that) and seeing as her own sister told the world that was the sole reason why she entered the house in the first place, to annoy Jim...that just isn't right.

And she was suicidal before going into the house (if that's even true) but if so then that is an imbalance in the brain in itself.

I agree with all that and her obvious obsession with Jim and maybe being out of revenge for so long, shows very irrational thinking really.

[thesheriff443]

she is just a bitter dryed up old dog, no other issues.

[rusticgal]

She is so bitter....it's destroying her.

I thought I was going to like her but she is just one bitter, unhappy soul. The lines etched on her face say it all....

[Z]

She's not had the easiest time of it in recent years, I can understand why she might be bitter about life in general, but this is just so specific towards Jim, you know? Like if she was snapping at other housemates and generally being bitter then we could attribute it to Bernie dying, her financial situation, her husband dying etc but she's just bitter towards Jim over an incident that happened twenty years ago. Her grudge is about as old as me, it's ridiculous.

[Sophiee]

she doesn't have mental issues, she just can't stand jim.

[Munchkins]

She was really odd today.. why does it matter if Jim doesnt eat to her

[Vanessa]

She's very obsessive when it comes to Jim. I find it very disturbing. :eek:

[Jack_]

She's a little bit obsessed but mentally unstable is a bit far.

Then again none of us know about any of their history, she might have very good reason to hate him so much. And I genuinely believe (as Coleen basically admitted on last night's BOTS too) that she thinks he's putting on an act and holding back his true thoughts (as do I actually) so as to appease the public and improve his reputation, and so she's trying her hardest to provoke a reaction to expose the real him.

And I'm certainly not going to complain at that, because if fight night three breaks out because Jim finally explodes, that will really round this series off in style :cheer2:

[Z]

I think what annoys Linda more than anything is that on the odd occasion she does rile Jim up, he never shouts and properly loses his temper, he has this sigh and walk away attitude that must infuriate her so much

[Heaven = Winner]

Like others said, the thread's taking it too far. She's bitter, but definitely not unstable.

[Pincho Paxton]

No, she's got something wrong with her.

[Lister of Smeg]

The menopause has raveged her ovaries as well as her brain it seems :hmph:

[Niamh.]

Not when it comes to Jim certainly but I do think she has some deep seated issues

Yeah, she's got a whole lot of bitterness and anger seething in her and she seems to just be directing it all onto Jim. Now granted I don't know the full story of why she doesn't like the man but he surely can't be responsible for every bad thing in her life and tbh that's how she's coming across

[HBB1508]

She's as mad as a box of frogs.

[Pincho Paxton]

She's as mad as a box of frogs.

Don't bring her looks into it! :joker:

[Beso]

I had to laugh last night when, during her latest Jim outburst in the diary room she said "I don't like dishonest people" eh excuse me my plumpness but how long were you married to a convicted thief?

[HBB1508]

****ing loopy bitch!!!

Oh the irony was probably lost on most people :joker:

[Kizzy]

I actually think jim and linda operate in a very similar way, when one offends the other they retreat to their respective 'groups' to lick their wounds.
Luisa on the other hand just gets it all off her chest.

yes True

Your trolling does sometimes raise a slight smile, this is one of those times :joker:

[Vanessa]

Maybe Linda is secretly in love with Jim! I wouldn't put it past her! :joker::joker:

Yep, he probably turned her down years ago :joker:

That's a paradox. Only high IQ will get the joke! :joker:

[Redway]

She may be a little fruity but at least she's interesting in there. Wouldn't go as far as classing her mentally ill, though. Just borderline obsessive on Jim.

[flamingGalah!]

Says the one constantly making childish posts about Jim... :whistle:

Alright can we get back ontopic please and stop discussing eachother rather then the HMs

[Jordan.]

Mentioning his woman beating past is not childish

[Jordan.]

& it winds you all up so much because you have no excuse or can't turn it around on Linda somehow.

[Ammi]

The bitch is obsessed.


..I don't know whether she's mentally stable or not, but I think that she's definately emotionally fragile and has real issues with negative things that she can't let go of and should get some advice/therapy for that because I think that intrinsically she's an extremely unhappy person which must push people away from her....

[optimisticcynic]

& it winds you all up so much because you have no excuse or can't turn it around on Linda somehow.

Jordan, you can mention it every day. Jim has also spoken of it and does not deny what he has done. I think it shouldn't be forgotten, but learnt from, and it is only Jim's wife and the affected family that can decide if they can forgive him. I am indifferent as to how often you mention it, but hope that you share opinions on other topics as well as I am hopeful that there is more to you.

[Lex]

Being nasty , doesn't mean you're mentally unstable...it just means that you are nasty! ...simples. :spin:

[flamingGalah!]

Mentioning his woman beating past is not childish

Well it is when it is all you ever go on about...

Jim has admitted it, everyone knows about it, so to keep on & on & on & on is just :sleep:

[flamingGalah!]

It doesn't wind me up at all, unfortunately :xyxwave:

Mentioning his woman beating past is not childish

It's a bit of a pointless thing to say as a defense for Linda's actions though - we're all well aware of Jim's past, he's admitted to it and his life has moved on since then, he's remarried and he hasn't once raised a hand to anyone in the house or intimidated anyone so ultimately it's not relevant to most discussions. Bringing it up smacks of desperation to somehow prove that Jim must always be in the wrong. So yes, it is childish to bring it up in an argument - not even Linda has brought it up when they've been arguing; if she wanted to use it against him then she could but she hasn't - so why are you?

[reece(:]

Of course she is stable, she wouldn't have been let in the house if otherwise.

[anne666]

What you should be asking is, are any of them mentally stable? They seem to find a higher percentage of hopelessly dysfunctional HM's every series. What next drag ill Psychiatric patients into BB just for fun.

[Z]

Of course she is stable, she wouldn't have been let in the house if otherwise.

Big Brother 7 - Shahbaz, Nikki and Lea all suffered from mental health problems and were allowed into the house. Big Brother came under a lot of criticism from mental health charities and organisations and Shahbaz quit shortly into his time in the house because he wasn't coping with it. I'm not saying Linda's mentally unstable because I don't think she is but mistakes are often made in favour of entertainment on Big Brother.

[anne666]

Mentioning his woman beating past is not childish

No it's not childish at all. I have also seen discussions on TBB about domestic violence. The main message has been, get away and stay away as violent men don't change. That is a fact. However there isn't any evidence of further violence from him, not unusual with abusers, especially those with any power, so IMO that's all that can really be said on the matter.

[Sophiee]

jasmine lennard... :umm2:

[reece(:]

jasmine lennard... :umm2:
She wasn't unstable, just a fierce bitch.

And Shahbaz granted, but they learnt their lesson from that. Although one might argue Creepy Cal was a bit unstable.

[arista]

There is loads of this thread
same titles.

They need merging to this Original One

[Redway]

Of course she is stable, she wouldn't have been let in the house if otherwise.

To be fair, people can easily hide their issues if they feel it'll be to their detriment when applying. Nikki, Shabazz and Lea were all mentally ill in some way or another. Propel don't always mention that.

And I find the notion that people suffering from mental issues are unfit to join very patronising to them...

[exoticrosebud]

she is just a bitter dryed up old dog, no other issues.

i dont think ive ever seen her laugh or enjoy herself at all in there......:xyxwave:

[Pincho Paxton]

She got the worst case of Linda Nolan Disorder I have ever seen.

[WHIRLWINDCAROL]

It looks like Linda has now got issues with Casey.She was telling Luisa that she believes Casey is playing a game and that she keeps looking at the camera.
It will be interesting to see if Luisa sticks by Casey or willshe be swayed by Linda.I think Linda is dangerous

[InOne]

She just seems really calculated to me. She knows exactly what she's doing and is pretty good at manipulating people.

[Sophiee]

luisa isn't swayed by anyone, she's got her own mind and a very intelligent one at that. even when she watched linda back she stated how she was coming across to her as a 'bitter old woman' so I doubt she'll side with her over casey.

[Northern Monkey]

Yes!This should be the new name for obsessive hatred!
