    I definitely feel different to how I did last week.

    I guess, more confident, or maybe sure of myself?

    It’s not surprising in a way, but I didn’t notice what I lost now that I have it back.

      You rock gibsy. I went on a job hunt last year and got knocked back or ignored by every application I sent. It knocked my self esteem and confidence really hard. You went to soooo fucking many interviews, and if your experience is anything like mine, probably sent in 10-20x more applications. I can’t imagine going through that and still putting on a brave face and going into interviews with a positive outlook. To be completely honest, I think I would’ve shrivelled up and died.

      You’re a hell of a lot stronger than you realise, and if you were that confident with all of those rejections, you must be easily the most confident person on the planet ordinarily

      Edit: also, I really really appreciate all of the comments and ideas you’ve left when I’ve shared what’s been happening here. I hope that my bad days haven’t brought your mood down, you deserve to celebrate and enjoy the moment

        That’s incredibly kind of you Baku ❤️ I really appreciate you saying that. It was getting really fucking hard but you can’t give up because what’s the other option?

        And it’s all good about replying to what’s been happening for you. It doesn’t bring my mood down at all. I just wish you didn’t have to deal with this bullshit mate.

      I think in light of recent events you’re probably super happy and relieved as well.

      You’ve been through a lot with the emotional roller coaster and to come out of it on the other side is of great relief.
