"For many years I blamed my body rather than realising it was my mind that was at fault. I was floating, unable to feel comfortable in my own skin. Unable to experience life in fear someone would see what I saw at the time as flaws. Intimacy could not be felt. Changing in front of friends was filled with anxiety. Sharing with a lover, never dreamed of. I always covered up. I allowed my mind to dicatate my every move - the way I stood, walked, and the clothes that I wore. And nudity, was forbidden."
