My mad Fat Diary-why you gotta watch it
When we first meet Rae she’s just fresh out of Rehab trying to get back to “normalcy”.Fitting in has never been easy for the weight-conscious teen. Rae has a dark sense of humor which most of us would relate to making the show rather uplifting. The show shows the raw emotions without sugar-coating it. If anyone asks you what Depression looks like, show them My Mad Fat Diary. It rightfully portrays how one feels when they are unable to love themselves. What I love about the show is that it shows how difficult dating could be for someone with body dysmorphia.
There’s so much more to depression than what mainstream media shows us. Rae takes us on her journey of fighting depression. We see her good days, We see her bad days. We see her being happy, socializing with her friends when a wave of insecurity hits her out of nowhere. We see her at her worst striving to survive. All of this makes the show more relatable and real. There are times when all of us are forced to mask our sadness to lift our loved ones up. The show portrays this aspect of emotions through Rae’s best friend Chloe. Chloe tries her best to stay strong for her BFF Rae as she constantly fighting with her own dark thoughts.
The fall of 13 reasons why
Thirteen reasons why speaks about issues like sexual assault, Bullying Depression, etc. The first season of the show was marvelous, the second was bearable, things began going south since the 3rd season. Gotta give it up to the makers for bringing the being in love with the rapist angle during the third season though. The show could have done better if more focus was given on the storyline or if they had just stuck to the book!
