The external physical parts of me were the forefront of everything. Everything else took a back seat. It was hard to have the energy to reflect on my inner self. On top of all my physical health components happening, my mental health was really impacted by how poorly I viewed myself. I found it was easy for me to judge myself and convince myself that I didn\u2019t \u2018belong\u2019 in any community because I wasn\u2019t \u2018enough\u2019 of something in my eyes.
