For years my genuine personality had been suppressed. I was always on edge having feelings of frustration - you couldn't do this, that or the other. It was literally doing my head in to such an extent that, at age 21, I was hospitalised with 'anxiety tension state disorder!'
After many years of battling, the 'real me' has now come to the fore.
Today, what you see is what you get, and I like to think it is good.
