This morning, I had my job interview, but I ended up arriving late, which made me even more nervous. I woke up at 6:30 AM but missed the tram and had to take a bus instead. My uncle came with me to help find the place, but he was trying to figure everything out himself, which wasn’t ideal. I’m lucky I can drive, but the location was hard to access by car, so I had to rely on public transport. If I get the job, I’ll have free parking, but for the interview, that wasn’t possible. On the way there, I kept thinking, “This is hard, I don’t know if I can do this every day,” but after a while, I found the energy and told myself, “Let’s do this.” Despite being late and nervous, they were polite when I arrived and said the lateness was fine, though I’m unsure if they were just being nice.
I don’t feel confident about how the interview went, and I’m not getting my hopes up, but I’m also considering a short-term car-related college course if the job doesn’t work out. This course is free and aligns with something I might want to pursue in the future, unlike other courses I’ve done in the past for careers I wasn’t interested in. Since I’m not working right now, it could be a good opportunity, but I still worry if I’m making the right decision. On top of that, I tend to overthink things, even small interactions. I recently saw one of my neighbors, with whom I’ve had serious issues in the past, and now I can’t stop wondering if they were angry with me. I also worry that my fears aren’t just overthinking, since there have been times when I expected a negative outcome, and it turned out exactly that way.
Thank you so much for the support in my last thread and the ongoing support. It truly means so much to me. I think it’s what gave me the energy to feel better this morning, even though I was initially thinking, “I can’t do this.” It’s this community that pushes me to feel like I’m not alone. I have people to vent to, clear my mind, and help me shift my mindset. Just hearing that you're proud of me makes a difference, and I truly appreciate everything positive. It doesn’t go unnoticed. It’s not been an easy time, but I really do hope I’m moving forward. I’m not cured or have anything definite yet, but I believe with the support I have, I can not be alone and cope.
