Hi Anita,

Thank you for your response:

When I was about 5, I had a serious illness which left me with some very prominent scars across my whole body. I didn’t think much of them as a small child, but once I reached my teenage years they began to become more of an issue for me and from here I developed some issues with my confidence/ body-image and began to become quite introverted.

In school my peers were not very nice to me because I was quiet and not ‘conventionally attractive’ and so I become even further isolated. It’s become part of a vicious circle which has affected my whole life and I’m not sure what I can do to gain some help.

🙂
