“As an only child and having lost both parents, I realized that I didn’t care about myself or anything else.”
He continued: “Sometimes now I really have to get out of my comfort zone to get up, go to work, and be the person they want me to be.
“There’s a lot of things I don’t like about myself. My hair is gray and I’ve been around since I was 21… I don’t think I look great in clothes. I’m in and I hope people don’t look too closely.’

‘Cleaning can be very difficult if you don’t like your reflection because there are mirrors everywhere.
“If I can regain my self-respect and confidence, it could at least be half of getting an interview or going back to a part-time job,” he added.

After that, Michelle saw cosmetologist Dr Tapan Patel, who applied the former cleanser to “laser treatment under the skin to give Michelle’s scars a smoother texture.”

She later spent time with fashion designer Gemma, who explained how Michelle’s love of fast fashion venues like Primark allowed her to focus on charity shops that could provide designer items at a lower price.

“Right now I can walk past the mirror or the car window…without hating it. In the process, I learned to love myself again.
“It’s not just about other people who love you. You have to love yourself. And I think I’ll work on it.’
