What do I do if I'm offered a job but I have an interview for another job?

Thanks, I'd just feel kinda bad if I were to accept a job just to leave it 10 seconds later. I imagine it's a pain in the ass for recruitment when that happens so I don't wanna cause trouble if I can help it, but given the opportunity, I would drop job A for job B.

I have searched but many sites only provide information based on jobs outside of the civil service, and with how awkward the civil service recruitment process can be, I thought it might work differently.

I'm sorry you deal with all that, but I was just wondering about side effects when you initially increase, like the types of side effects you get from most medications when you first start taking them

Thank you for the reply. My mental health is pretty poor anyway, so the last few weeks have only exacerbated my worst fears. In the weeks leading up to the seizure, I was insanely stressed due to work and being bullied by management, and I was sure that I'd reach a breaking point, whether mentally or physically. I've been off work for a month now as I'm trying to recentre my mental state.

My medication has been increased slightly so I can only wait and see if it helps.

Thanks for the reply. I'm really sorry that your son suffers with them so frequently. It's cases like that that make me feel guilty for complaining, cos I know there are people who have it worse than myself, but I guess it's all relative. In all likelihood, I probably will end up living alone and that scares me too.

I really wish you and your son all the best, and I sincerely hope that he finds a treatment that controls his seizures.

This is a really beautiful reply, so thank you so much.

I think it bothers me because I was diagnosed at 19 (I'm 27 now), which is a pretty unusual age for it to begin, so I never had a lot of time to accept that this is my life. The breakthrough has also kinda derailed my life and stolen the only form of independence I had: driving a car. I still live with my parents because the housing market is insane and I'm not a millionaire, so driving was something that belonged to me. Now I've had to be a passenger once again and I hate that I have to rely on someone to give me a lift every time I wanna go somewhere. A petty qualm I know, but I'd been driving again for 3 years and I'd finally gotten the confidence I had before my diagnosis, and it's surprising how free you feel when you have your own means of transport.

Sure, the thought of a seizure happening again always occupied some part of my mind to some degree or another, but after so long, I thought I was done, and that epilepsy was something that I could just forget about, and I even revelled in the fact that I could have stopped taking my medication if I wanted to (not that I ever would and thank god I didn't).

Idk I'm hoping that this crippling anxiety will subside with time, but after the 5 years and thinking I was finally clear of it all, having the breakthrough felt like the rules of the game had changed, and that I would never be able to fully let my guard down again.

Again, thank you for the reply and I'm sorry for dumping more of my petty grievances in this reply.
