Description

I’ve come to see A-fib as my body’s way of telling me to look after myself – when the palpitations strike up, it’s time for an early night and an extra litre of water. And while I had always lived in terror of having something wrong with my heart, strangely, it feels like the best thing that could have happened to me. But it was the knowledge I had gained in recovery from alcoholism that eventually, thankfully, allowed me to call out this denial and admit that I needed help with the way I used food. Because try as I might to look for the differences between my eating and my drinking, increasingly, all I could see was the similarities – the self-loathing, the physical hangovers from overdoing it, the knowledge that I didn’t want to behave like this any more, but that I was completely powerless to stop myself from behaving like this any more. I do remember as teenager reading it, that description of what it feels like to be depressed, which is probably the first time I’d read something and thought, oh, hang on. Obviously I wasn’t in a mental institution, having electroconvulsive therapy, but it was around that time I started having any kind of awareness that perhaps something wasn’t quite right. And an awareness that perhaps this was something other people went through as well. Bryony Gordon – Telegraph Blogs". Blogs.telegraph.co.uk. Archived from the original on 27 June 2009 .

I’m absolutely fine,” I said, truthfully. The flutters in my chest were nothing compared to what I had experienced that morning.I know. You can’t have five books about depression and not mention The Bell Jar. I first read it when I was a teenager. Gordon began her career as an intern for the Daily Express, writing occasional feature articles for the newspaper. She then began writing a youth-oriented column for the Sunday Express, before writing for The Daily Telegraph 's teen supplement in 2000. [6] In 2001, Gordon joined the Daily Mirror gossip column known as The 3AM Girls. [2] After the Mirror, Gordon resumed writing for The Daily Telegraph. When I first read this book, as a teenager, I remember an English teacher telling me: ‘I don’t like Sylvia Plath, because of the effect it has on girls like you.’ I think what she meant by that was that it was somehow glamorising extreme depression. Do you worry about that, with Sylvia Plath’s writing, and story?

A modern take on the Rapunzel story, focusing on our societal obsession with appearance and how social media impacts the lives of teens.He told me it was Tuesday, and I swear to God I would have cried if I had anything other than a sense of hardness inside me. How was it only Tuesday? Why did everything feel so difficult? When would life stop feeling like something I have to get through, a burden I have to bear? I don’t think it glamorises it. She ends up committing suicide. What your teacher said about ‘girls’: it’s a way of boxing us up again, isn’t it? What I think is that she [Plath] made it very clear to girls like us that you didn’t just have to be good girls who became wives, and that it was normal to have all of these feelings. You summed it up perfectly there: “girls like you.” Most women are girls like us. I think it gives voice to that. Gordon, Bryony (5 June 2008). "There is no shame in dropping out of university". The Daily Telegraph. London . Retrieved 11 July 2014. But while she was still in hospital, and at her very lowest ebb, Mandy did something most people in her position would not have considered. In the midst of a particularly bad episode, with tears rolling down her face, Mandy took a selfie. She vowed that when she was better, she would share her story.
