My Mad Fat Diary = My Mad Immense Obsession

So I started watching My Mad Fat Diary last week Friday and finished it Monday night. There are two seasons, first season on youtube and the second on Dailymotion.com if you just search the name. Needless to say, I could not stop watching... so I thought I'd write a post about it.
How do I even begin to explain this show... Its British and a comedy drama based off of the book My Fat, Mad Teenage Diary by Rae Earl. It follows the life of a teenage girl named Rae Earl who has just come out of hospital for her self harm, anxiety, and depression. I know from that it does not sound quite happy, and at times it isn't, but at others it had me dying of laughter.
There isn't any reason to not love this show. Its brutally honest and insanely funny while touching on very important subjects. Some of these include body image, fitting in, sexuality, sex, friendships, and both mental and physical abuse. These subjects are approached extremely well and all are solved in appropriate ways which can be seen as great examples for the audience.
If you haven't watched this show, I suggest you start soon!
