Dr. Edward Kuhnley answered

Specializes in Child Psychiatry

"Redefine" your self: Do not allow your past to define you. Accept & love yourself; develop a positive self concept - you deserve it; eliminate as much negative as possible from your life including judging yourself & feeling judged by others. Allow yourself enjoyment & fill your life with enjoyable people & situations. Seek psychiatric / psychological eval & counseling to guide your change. Enjoy the challenge!
