Going after journalists and media in the wake of Caroline’s death in my eyes is counter-productive. All of the ‘be kind’ posts have been eye opening but have also had a profound effect on my own mental health.

Slimming World protected my weight loss, but not my mental health.
I’d always been a larger kid for as far as back as I can remember. I never fitted into my age range of clothes and it’s always been a source of embarrassment to me.

Meltdowns Don’t Always Mean Mental Health Issues
Amanda Bynes has #broketheinternet with her recent interview in Paper magazine and I will be the first to say fair play to her!
