My Mad Fat Diary

[april_showers]

I've watched the dramatisation of Rae Earl's diary with interest. Partly because of the title, I expected it to be trite, annoying and offensive. As a fatty whose various mental health problems have been treated and untreated throughout my life, I started watching mostly in order to be pissed off. What I found though, was that I wasn't pissed off

Many things jumped out at me, chimed with me, made me smile & inwardly shout "yes!" as I read through this thoughtful entry. But this one sentence struck me as a beautiful realisation of yours, H.:

"Not sharp edged, not carved by someone else into a shape they think I should fit... more like a diamond recently mined.."

Wonderful. Be yourself, grow yourself. Be. xx

Nikki, I will never, ever be able to repay the debt of gratitude that I owe you and the others who stuck around for me despite my failure to keep in regular contact. All I can do is try and be better now, and try to keep myself together so that I can be present and able to provide support for you all as and when required.

Love you x
