Big Mood is a painfully relatable show. The language Eddie and Maggie use could have been lifted directly from my personal WhatsApp chats: “If I could finally get a big Le Creuset things might turn around”, “Most perfect special angel girl”, and “I don’t have £800 in my bank account… that would be wild”. The most relatable part, however, is their friendship. And how I have been both an Eddie and a Maggie at different times in my life. I’m sure you have been, too.

Like Eddie, I have routinely been described as ‘independent’ and ‘strong’. Like Eddie, I have made outlandish statements like “I’m the only one who can take care of me” and “I don’t need anyone”. And, like Eddie, I have resented friendships where my needs were always secondary because the other person was in more of a ‘crisis’, and so I silently made myself a martyr.

Like Maggie, I have struggled with complex mental health which, at some stages, has taken over my life. Like Maggie, I have made outlandish statements like “I’ve got depression down to a fine art”. And, like Maggie, I have accidentally been selfish in friendships because survival mode temporarily took away some of my self-awareness.

“Big Mood perfectly illustrates the messy reality of mental health and friendships – you need to watch it”
