I stayed at the job for 3 months as I was attending school too. Fast forward, I will be graduating this week receiving my bachelor in Nursing. I am currently working as a Home Heath Aide plus I’ve been interning for about 4 months and will be starting as a RN after I graduate. I have a nice studio apartment, I’m clean, my appearance and all of that improved. And I have a guaranteed job waiting on me.

However, I just fear the thought of being called out and embarrassed about it.

I keep thinking about what if I run into these people again? I know this is ridiculous but I have always dealt with depression and anxiety
I believe those people do have a chance of calling you out for, back then, having a rather unattractive appearance. However, I believe that they'd more probably rather see the new you who's improved a lot.
