You can stream My Mad Fat Diary (2013) on Amazon Prime with a subscription.

Set in 1996 in Lincolnshire, the show tells the tragic and humorous story of a very troubled young girl Rae, who has just left a psychiatric hospital, where she has spent four months after attempting suicide, begins to reconnect with her best friend Chloe and her group, who are unaware of Rae's mental health and body image problems, believing she was in France for the past four months.

Navigating the jagged edges of 1990s adolescence and mental illness, Rae struggles to find her footing among friends who don't know her history. This messy, honest portrait of self-discovery captures the awkward ache of growing up when your own mind feels like an enemy.
