    Im nervous for my interview tomorrow

    I presume you already heard this from someone, but I'm going to tell you anyway. Just try your hardest, answer all their question the best you can and just leave a good impression and you should hopefully get that position.

    Thank you mate, I did try my best, got there on time, would have liked to get there a little bit earlier but it was on time, I was just very very nervous and dont think I got it, I think my nerves ruined it.

    Hi again @Redemption - congrats on getting through the interview! That must have taken a lot of courage to push through nerves like that. Regardless of the results, you showed up and tried your best, and that matters.

    I may not have any experience with job searching or interviews, but I can say that every interview you have, you get a little bit better at it, and if you keep on trying and believing in yourself it's only a matter of time before you succeed. And honestly, you're a really nice, genuine person from what I've seen here, so you definitely deserve it.

    Anyways, hope you're doing okay, and sending (virtual) hugs if comfortable!

    We're here for you @eylah - and I promise you, you're not a failure. We haven't really talked much, but I've seen you around the boards and you seem like an incredible kind and genuine person. I know it's hard to remember sometimes, but you matter. If I'm being honest, I've been really low lately as well, but I'm here if you ever want to talk <3

    Hey @eylah , thank you for your post. Feeling like a huge failure sounds like it could be really painful right now. What's led you to feel this way? We're here and we're listening.

    @eylah thank you so much for sharing that. From what you've described, it sounds like things are feeling really overwhelming at the moment - with that fear of failing in many different parts of your life. I can imagine that all piling up and feeling like a lot of pressure and worry to hold.

    You mentioned too that you feel like you make everything an issue, and that sounds like a painful belief. I get the sense you're carrying quite a bit of self-blame right now. Would that be fair to say? It sounds like there's some frustration towards yourself, and you're doing so well to put this into words.

    It can be really isolating sometimes to be in a relationship we fear is failing. Would it feel helpful to talk a bit more about what's been happening with your ex?

    You also mentioned feeling like you're failing as a daughter, and again that sounds deeply painful. As though there's a feeling of not being good enough? What has failing as a daughter looked like for you lately? We're here to listen entirely without judgement. You deserve so much space and kindness around this.

    @Sian321 I was nervous and am now, got my 2nd interview really soon. I got rejected from yesterday's, I saw earlier but it was only Sunday contract and quite far so wasn't worth it if I was just working 1 day a week, I wouldn't be profiting. Thank you so .much though Sian, I love this community

    interviews are rlly hard but even going to them is a big step. it’s also good for experience too. i know it might feel like it went rlly bad and you’re going to get rejected but that might not be the case. i done an interview and i completely fumbled it. i sat in silence after each question was asked panicking because i couldn’t even think. my answers were rlly awful i think too. a few days later i got offered the job. i’m not saying this to make you feel worse or anything so im sry if it comes across that way, i just mean it as a case of it’s not always as bad as you think. sry im rlly bad at wording things.

    Im returning back to football on the weekend but I'm not really where I want to be in life, going to some 5 a side at some run down football venue and struggling to get a job at Tesco

    I feel like I'm being a terrible person by venting about this, even though this is a space for people to vent and everything, but it's just really difficult being around my parents right now. They're talking to me in a really forced positive way and expecting me to somehow pretend to be positive as well, even though they know I'm feeling really low right now (and honestly that's probably why they're putting on the whole act in the first place) and I've been keeping to myself as much as possible because I just can't be around them without feeling like I'm going to explode, and I don't want that to happen.

    Bc it was halloween yesterday me and my bestie went out i loved seeing her again after so long this is the first time we haven't been able to see each other for this long and we had a great time then she had to go home and that bubble of happiness and saftey popped and now im here feeling lonely and overwhelmed and I miss being with her bc well i wont see her again for a while and idk i dont like that i think the reason im so attached to her is bc she was the first person who was like a true friend to me and now I have friends but surface level ones im oretty much alone i dont have anyone in can talk to or pour my soul out to yk?

    For a while now, most days have felt flat. I’m not really sad, but I’m not happy either — it’s like everything’s in black and white. The things that used to help or make me feel good don’t really work anymore, and I wake up either numb, sick, or just low. Every once in a while, I’ll have a really good day where things feel normal again, but it only lasts a day or so.
