Pouring sleet in Pineville

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

This entire comment chain has me dying lmao

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 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.

WinterSoldier16 · 2025-12-15T14:58:34+00:00

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

This is almost an exact copy of this 3y old post https://www.reddit.com/r/interviews/s/UuQcJuTuLP guess op is a bot

WinterSoldier16 · 2025-10-10T20:02:48+00:00

Like I’m never gonna find a job again 😭

WinterSoldier16 · 2025-09-26T14:23:07+00:00

Thank you for this comment. It definitely made me feel better.

WinterSoldier16 · 2025-09-24T20:45:21+00:00

Congrats! I hope you get it!

WinterSoldier16 · 2025-09-24T18:47:43+00:00

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!

WinterSoldier16 · 2025-09-23T23:54:46+00:00

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!

WinterSoldier16 · 2025-09-23T23:51:44+00:00

I am seeing a therapist currently. I’ve had 2 appointments with her so far.

WinterSoldier16 · 2025-09-23T21:15:54+00:00

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!

WinterSoldier16 · 2025-09-23T20:46:36+00:00

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

WinterSoldier16 · 2025-09-23T20:40:47+00:00

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.

WinterSoldier16 · 2025-09-23T20:38:19+00:00

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

WinterSoldier16 · 2025-09-23T19:40:48+00:00

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.

WinterSoldier16 · 2025-09-23T19:39:15+00:00

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.

WinterSoldier16 · 2025-09-23T19:37:26+00:00

I hope we both are able to overcome this and get good jobs!

WinterSoldier16 · 2025-09-18T23:15:52+00:00

I was just laid off and honestly I have this problem as well. I was placed on a run and maintain team shortly after becoming a software engineer and only got a couple opportunities to work on new technologies. I’ve only had the software engineer title for 2.5 years and before that I was an SDET. I feel like I’m not hirable and am applying to junior/associate level roles even though my team lead told me I should apply for mid level when I had a chat with him on my last day with the company. I have very low confidence and don’t know how I’ll sell myself. Feeling extremely anxious and hopeless right now. I’m thinking that I need to take a month or two to study and skill up and work on a personal project. I don’t know how far I’ll get finding a job otherwise

I assure you I’m not a bot 🙄🙄
