to learn not to feel ashamed

[blue]

I have always had a real problem accepting myself. I felt ashamed that im anxious and ashamed that i make people uncomfortable.
I got to the point I couldnt live with myself........

The last year I have been slowly accepting myself and the way that I am.

I have a beautiful son who has autism and every day is full of uncertanty and anxiety...he is 5.

He has obsessions and habbits that make people stare at him and other kids think he is strange.

He is the most amazing person to me some people stop their autistic kids from showiing unsociable habbits in public (my sons is chanting and chain twirling.).....I would never make him stop just to make other people feel comfortable or to stop them staring at him..........Im learning to stop feeling ashamed of myself and my anxiety.

I wont stop being me just because it makes people feel uncomfortable or stare......I am 29 I have Social phobia, generalised anxiety and depression.
.............My son is 5 he has autism
............Its who we are

dont feel ashamed.
