Yesterday I got some really good news: a job interview to be a sales assistant at the equestrian section of a major sports shop. I would love to have this job, especially as this one of the few things I feel comfortable doing for a living. Most importantly this job would mean I can move out of my mom's house, which is a very toxic environment for me.

I know my T would like me to call her, and she'd try to see me tomorrow so we could practice for the interview, but to be honest I don't want to. I really don't want to risk her not being available and me being upset about this. So practicing on my own is the way to go...

My main problem is how do I explain that it took me 6 years to get my bachelor instead of 3? I don't really want to talk about my BPD as it's noone's business. I was thinking about saying that my Dad died a month before I graduated high school (which is true) and that this combined with being abroad on my own in such a difficult time threw me off balance. But all that is the past and I'm fine now.

Do you think that would be an ok explanation?
And I'll take any advice I can get, I really need this job! I'm actually considering texting my T tomorrow and ask if I can call her before the interview so she can boost my confidence a bit and calm me down. But I'm afraid she can't do it and that this would upset me more than anything else...
