    IM getting really stressed about this interview now. If anyone knows any standard questions asked at interviews please let me know. Or any ways you prepare for one
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    Why do you think you'll be good for this job?
    what do you know about the company?
    what can you bring to the company?
    what are your strengths?
    Why do you want to work for us?

    its normal to be stressed/anxious, and they should be able to put your mind at ease, do you have any questions for them? the interview is the perfect place to ask them, and it will show that you've put thought into the interview :) most importantly, just be yourself! <3

    I just read my cover letter / supporting infor for that job and it literally sounds like its not for recovery college - cause its not it was for 121 with people with scuipherina and it so obvious ive used an old supporting letter so i don’t know how i got the interview for that but not for the one it was actually meant for 😂😂

    @Shaunie did you got any feedback or reason why the interview at the other place didn't go through?

    Also a tip, i usually google a bit about what they do and come up with some sort of question so that they can talk about themselves (like the 'what do you like about working here' one). It shows interest and people love talking about themselves. You could also say something like 'I've read that you do this and that, could you tell me more about that'. Again shows interest and that you made the effort to do some research about them.

    Opened up Tonight about something that happened at university, and how recently his friends have targeted me. It was hard to talk about and I still blame myself.
    Currently trying to hold myself together to prove I'm stronger than I seem

    How many times can you actually pick yourself back up and carry on after being constantly let down and hurt.

    My swear word colouring book is missing and I am deeply upset. I need to colour out my frustration but have to colour a 'pretty' picture instead now. It's not the same. 🙄
    Update : mother bought me a new swear word colouring book! 😁😂

    Coming up the a  yearly truama anniversary TW

    Coming up the 4th year truama anniversary of where my ex raped me, sent me for a morning after pill, and still ending up pregnant.
    I dream about all this truama and I wake up sweating and crying. The next month is going to be so horrific and difficult because we had planned to remove my implant and allow myself to have a period with support so I could get use to it again because the truama was so truamarising I wasn't able to have periods. I'm really scared and anxious about the next month. Some of you might remember everything that happened during this event as I did come to chat and the boards to talk about it for a while. 
    I'm desperate for just some hugs and support at the moment
