"Accepting myself and my situation"

About: Inclusion Thurrock (Talking Therapies)

(as a service user),

My story didn't begin with personal acceptance. It began with a depression. I was low, and I had too high expectations of myself. I had to be perfect, or no one would love me. Over the course of the weeks, i learned about why i felt this way, i was equipped with emotional tools to help me do this, and i leaned along the way perfection isnt necessarily my goal and i am good enough as i am. I dont need to be perfect to be loved, my imperfections keep me striving to be better and as long as i am pushing forwards each day, i am doing ok. I cant be more thankful for the support and tools.
