I'm afraid. I'm trying to get a job after years of being out of work due to depression. My self-esteem is at the lowest it's ever been and its hard to talk yourself up in an interview when you feel so bad about yourself. I fear an employer will see my memory problems or that I won't have the energy to maintain a job. I'm afraid I won't pass a drug test because of a medicine I take and am worried they will see my involuntary commitments on a background check. I'm a horrible liar, so I don't know how to respond to questions about my employment gap or why, when I have such a high degree of education, I'm just looking for a house-cleaning or minimum wage job. The stress is overwhelming and causing me to have even less energy than usual--how will I be able to work when I'm like this?
