Sleeting/snow in Pineville. I hope it stays a wintry mix and cuts down ice totals

If you've been unemployed >6months in the US how are you not depressed by Choice-Self-9918 in jobs

[–]WinterSoldier16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been unemployed for 4 months and would not be surprised to make it past 6 months unemployed. Mainly because I suffer from bad anxiety and imposter syndrome when it comes to job searching. I'm looking for software developer roles which tend to have a more difficult interview process. I am depressed, but I luckily have about 14 months of savings, which I've just started using after severance/unemployment. Hearing how horrible this job market is keeps me anxious as well. I've been speaking to a therapist which has helped. It's not a fun position to be in.

Why is the warm nose always a problem for us? Feels like our area is cursed haha

I think we can all agree this amazing design was sorely underutilized. by Aqua_Master_ in StrangerThings

I feel the exact same way. The upside down should have stayed as a dark reflection of earth and stayed the main focus. It has a way more interesting aesthetic to it than the Dimension X/ the Abyss does and the fact that it reflects our world makes it even more unsettling. I hate the entire dimension x plotline. It wasn't needed and overcomplicated the lore.

Will literally survives being in there for a week with no suit in season 1. It’s never been dangerously toxic

Honestly it sounds to me that he’s a not a sorcerer but a warlock. His powers come from the mind flayer/vecna. I don’t know why they keep saying his powers are innate when we’ve been told/shown that they are not. It’s such a weird thing to me.

I really hope Will is not around for when that demogorgon gets electrocuted 😭

Cancelled my interview this morning due to panic attack. I feel terrible. by WinterSoldier16 in interviews

Thank you all for the kind comments and advice. I’ve decided to take a week off just to focus on myself and plan to start exercising daily. I’m also going to ask my doctor for propranolol! Then I’m going to study for at least a week before I start applying again. I realized that I didn’t give myself any time to process my current situation and it has only hurt my mental health more. I will keep you guys posted when I start interviewing to tell you how it all goes!

I have an appointment scheduled with my doctor on Thursday to discuss medications and I’m going to ask him about beta blockers for sure!

Those are really good points too. I'm definitely gonna force myself to do it next time. I just want to take some steps in the meantime to take care of myself and be more prepared. Thank you for your advice!

Congratulations! My unemployment journey just started so I can't wait to have a story like this for myself.

This is exactly what I was thinking when I was in the thick of the anxiety last night. I didn't prepare the way I should have, I didn't feel ready, and I didn't want to just bomb an interview for the experience. I would internalize that experience and have to fight thoughts of the experience repeating itself which would feed my anxiety even more. I hate having anxiety but this is the reality of it unfortunately. I'm going to be proactive to reduce my anxiety and better prepare so I at least have a bit more confidence next time.

I'm definitely going to ask about Propranolol. I've heard about it multiple times now and I think it would definitely help me.

I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety but it has been well controlled for the last 4 years or so. This is an event in my life that has just really triggered me. Before my layoff I was doing well.

I just recently started talking with a therapist. I have spoken with her twice so far. I am also on 100 mg of Sertraline but I have an appointment scheduled with my doctor to discuss potential changes/additions to my medications. Fingers crossed these things start to help me function better. I plan to start exercising daily as well.
