I didn't have much of a cleavage. So being slim and toned. Having a celebrity stomach was something to feel confident about. At college there was a Girl there and she spoke about men giving her trouble when out on town. She spoke like she didn't realise that she was very very pretty. Model tall, and a waist that was thin and went in delicately like a burlesque dancer. She wouldn't have looked out of place in a corset on stage or in a movie set. And she stole everyone's heart in class when she spoke of her experience with an eating disorder. And how she didn't cope too well with the changes our bodies go through in adolescence. And she had no qualms speaking about hospital. I don't think she grew up In this area. I thought she was brave. But It was different for me. I grew up hearing the horror stories of the hospital and I spent my years trying to forget what I had done. To most it was "the funny farm" and not an acute mental health ward in a hospital. My stay belonged in the past and I would bury it so it remained.
