Last night was just awful!! I stayed up to late and it was so freaking quite my thoughts went haywire and I just went in to panic mode I guess cause I just couldn't calm the f down :/ And I kept making plans like "Ok gonna go to sleep soon what movie do I wanna watch?" which just made it worse and then I finally broke and started sobbing and was seriously close to hyperventilating, it was just beyond awful! And the sad thing was it was like my mind went plank but at the same time it was going at warp speed, it felt like nothing was gonna be better ever again. Thankfully though I have a doctor's appointment for tomorrow so I'll hopefully I can get something to help calm me down and then in a week or two I have an appointment with a therapist so hopefully that'll work too. *fingers crossed*
Good luck! I've been trying to psyche myself up to go to a backpackers Meetup around here. I might decide to wait til spring though...not too much a fan of sleeping in the cold.

Paranoia and anxiety really hit today but hanging in there and still enjoying the benefits of not seeing things as black or white.
Got an interview tomorrow, and it's a job I really want. But I'm already prepared for the fact I won't get it. Takes some of the pressure off
How do you know that you won't get it? Remember the phrase "self-fulfilling prophecy"? Go to the interview and give it everything you've got! Believe that you will until you do or get proven wrong. If it's the latter, then analyze what you think you did wrong and modify your tactics.

Oh I'm definitely going to do that
But as soon as the interview is finished, I'll be fully expecting/prepared for receipt of that 'I'm sorry to advise that on this occasion you have not been successful, we wish you every success' e-mail template that seems to have defined by entire year :
Well, maybe your expectation is part of the problem. Again, "self-fulfilling prophecy". Don't be afraid of failure; just believe and "know" that you're going to get that job. Walk in there with the air of "I've got this. That job is mine!" and it should help make yourself look better to the employer(s). Take those failures in the past and make them into something that can help you with this.

Two different guys spoke to me about my issues. One told me to join a dating site and asked why I'm seeing a therapist. He also questioned why I put it on Facebook. Awkward conversation. The other told me to try a "tapping" technique that's too long and stupid to even explain. Another awkward conversation.
You'll be fine, Aletheia. Good luck.
Aw, that's really awful. Sometimes the mind can go into overdrive for apparently no reason and that's when panic sets in. Hopefully your therapist will be able to help you out.
Sorry to hear about your self-esteem issues, phocas. If you don't like where your career is headed, then certainly change. Change is risky, though, and you might not like the new change and you'll be back where you are. Sometimes it's best to take that risk. What do you plan on doing?I'm just so crap at career stuff, I don't think I want to continue doing what I'm doing now because it drains me too much, but I'm too scared to change, my self-esteem is zero :
Good luck with the interview! I very much hope you do get it! ^_^Got an interview tomorrow, and it's a job I really want. But I'm already prepared for the fact I won't get it. Takes some of the pressure off

It is really awful, I hate feeling like that. Oh I thought it might be something like that. Hopefully! :]

I'm no expert but I'm just going off what you typed. Good luck.
Exactly how bad is the unemployment rate in the UK? Is it really tough to find work there?Ahhh I try to be like that everytime. I'm quite good at pretending :
Thanks for the advice, will definitely do my best
Edit: Thanks Mikey!!
Preparing for the worst is alright as long as you hope for the best. ^_^

That's a lot of displaced people there. Plus there's 60 million people crammed into a country smaller than the state I live in, which wouldn't help, either.
Australia is not immune to unemployment, but with a population of just 23 million spanning an area the size of the USA it's not quite as bad (but still kinda bad).
Hmm, maybe you should travel to France. Wouldn't take too long to get across the Chunnel, right?
I was up most of the night coughing and worrying about this copyright thing, so I didn't fall asleep until 7AM this morning. Naturally, I slept through my alarm clock and missed my 11AM therapist appointment. She isn't available again until early January. That will be six weeks in between visits. That makes me nervous. In my head, I know she won't care (other than possibly being concerned for me), but that little irrational part of my brain is screaming that she is going to yell at me or judge me for being a bad patient or something else completely stupid. I'm also worried about how much **** will accumulate in the next month. The past two weeks have been both wonderful and awful. Another four weeks might put me over the edge. I shouldn't have slept through the god damned alarm!
