I will never be totally free of my demons but I hope I now have the tools to manage them.
The past two years have been tough in terms of therapy and the work I have had to put in. I have not finished with John quite yet but I am a different man now.
My body issues still always pop up in conversation and there are some aspects of me I will never be convinced about; I just feel now that these are not running my life any more. I am getting bolder socially and I walk around with a 'bit' more confidence.
2011 has been so important for me and I am a little bit proud of myself. The work I have to do on myself will never end but I am happy to do it.
Depression and BDD have both blighted my life in a way I am not talented enough to be able to express in words but I now hope I can live with some quality of life....I aim to carry on exposing the discrimination that persons with mental health issues face in so called 'normal' society.
We are all normal; its just that some of us are brave enough to admit to our demons and fight them back.
