[Eyeliner]

For a large part of my life I have felt the need to apologise for being the person that I am. I don't want to do that any more. I find myself apologising for no reason, assuming that I must have done something wrong all the time. The worry of what I might have done something to offend someone or annoy someone plays on my mind and it consumes so much time and energy. 

I was recently asked what I wanted to achieve from meeting with my local mental health services...

I think that being happy with who I am and not needing to apologise for being myself is a good place to start.
