I may be able to get a job soon. I'm excited but stressed and overwhelmed at the same time. This makes no sense but my logic is that if I cut, I'll be able to make it to and through an interview without having a breakdown (I did last time and didn't even make it in the room, was shaking so badly) Isn't that strange? Anyway, it's been 22 days since I cut and I'm really trying not to mess that up. It's so difficult sometimes though.

You are doing great. 22 days is a long time, if you have made it that long you can make through an interview without cutting. I know it is difficult but I have confidence you can make it. Keep up the good work. Good luck on the job.

You can do this You have shown amazing strength to overcome the urges for 22 days. It is a massive achievement. The job interview is a major stressor and trigger but you can do this.

We all believe in you too Just make sure you prepare before hand, use relaxation techniques on the day and it should be ok.
