Wow, so I finally have three interviews coming up tomorrow and Thursday. Problem is, I've been battling depression and anxiety really bad for the last month or so.

I'm trying to prepare answers and whatnot, but I'm scared to death they will be able to see my depression loud and clear.

Someone mentioned "fake it til' you make it". I'm certainly doing to try.

And, last time I interviewed I was a size 12/14. I've gained a ton of weight and now wear a 22/24. I found a couple of decent suits, but I have heard that there is bias against heavy people. I do keep my hair and makeup decent, so I hope that is enough.

I'm scared to death. I've always been weird in the past that interviews didn't really scare me that much, so why now?

Oh, and also, the reason I quit my job in January was because I lost my dad last March and my mom on December 30th. I can explain the time lapse as having to take care of their estates maybe. What do you think? Then, I'm afraid if I mention it, I will get teary-eyed. I will have to go into being an only child, and although they were divorced, neither had re-married.

I am full of anxiety just typing about it!
