I have a job interview tomorrow at (Detail removed by Moderator). I forced myself to apply with the help of a friend when the worst was happening, and I got an interview! Really nervous, but even if I will not get the job, today whilst preparing for it, first time in years, I felt like my ‘old’ self that I used to be before the abuse turned me into someone I barely recognised in the mirror. I treasure these moments now, when even if for a few minutes, I feel strong and happy and like I am choosing me.
