Are You Out of Your Mind?

I received an email a few days ago that not-so-subtly suggested I was 'bonkers' because of my eating issues.
Evidently it was written by an insensitve moron who has no idea how serious or how hard it is to cope with and overcome eating disorders and body dismorphia. I have a lot of respect for those who are recovering and making progress.

On the contrary, I am not mad. I like to think I have a great sense of humour and I'm very bubbly and outgoing. To outsiders I probably look like a perfectly normal girl. Which brings me to my thought of the afternoon...

Whilst driving away from the train station after dropping off BF, I looked at the various people pounding the pavements and couldn't help but wonder whether they had skeletons in the closet (or even in the depths of their mind). Do they have issues that they struggle with, are they alcoholics, are they going through a messy divorce, do they hate the way their nose looks? In a way it was comforting to know that no one seems to be perfect and that we all have our little worries, but unfortunately the optimism was short lived when I walked through the door to a giant dinner on the table .... oh the Karma haha!
