I admit, I am quite new to this whole social media promotion thing and am struggling to know how to get more people interested. [&#8230;]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve realised recently that I have trouble with attention; I am much more likely to hide than to allow myself to shine, in part because I fear things [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday was interesting, and I pushed myself a little further than my mental state usually has allowed me to recently, and yet I came out relatively unscathed, which is good. I often come across as being somewhat introverted, particularly when I&#8217;m presented with an unfamiliar situation or new people, however that&#8217;s all a false impression [&#8230;]]]></description>

Guilt has often been one of my real issues. Guilt at not being &#8216;ok&#8217;, guilt at not being &#8216;normal&#8217;, at not being capable of work at the moment. [&#8230;]]]></description>
