[Average Fallacy]

Okay, so my boyfriend and I are going to be on our own soon and he's the only one that has a job, and it's minimum wage, too.

I have crippling anxiety (general and social); having at least one anxiety attack a day.

Because of my anxiety, I can't get behind the wheel of a car without breaking down. I can't ask people for help at stores, let alone inquire about job offerings. I have to gather up the courage to go downstairs to eat just because I can't handle the thought of interacting with his family on my own. I have attacks when I just think about an interview with a potential employer.

I don't know how I could possibly hold down a job in the state that I'm in. How can I overcome this? I need some sort of coping mechanism. Anything.

(Don't say get therapy or go on medication, I can't afford it and I doubt I'll be able to for a long time.)

You can overcome it by following these 3 simple rules, you'll greatly bring down job interview anxiety. Avoid caffeine, get enough sleep, and exercise regularly. Moreover practice visualising your success
Find out a quiet place where you will not get disturbed, close your eyes and imagine yourself being flourishing in your interview. Visualizing success is to a higher degree of positive thinking; when exercised correctly, you're perplexing your brain ready to behave in the way that you like. These techniques are generally used by elite athletes prior to competitions to do better.
