I keep telling myself everything is going to be fine that money is not the most important thing in the world. But tonight I can't stop the anxiety. I keep thinking I'm going to fail that it is worthless to try.

I'm also applying to grad school and my application is due on the 1st. I try to work though the worry but it just takes me over making it hard to concentrate. I'm a good writer I swear but the personal statement is proving difficult and I feel lame incompetent.

I just want to do well so badly that it hurts.

welcome to pc. hope4happy. sometimes when i am jammed up nothing happens...cause i'm made myself unable to focus. these are difficult times economically for many ppl. i wish you the very best in finding employment. keep knockin' on those doors..each one brings you closer to "yes"...it's the odds...
as for grad school...maybe some brisk exercising will help clear your mind. sounds like you're on overload and need to step back if for just a moment.
keep us posted and i hope my suggestions may help you!!

You're right, money isn't everything, but when you don't have it, it can be very upsetting.

Don't think about failing, if you dwell on it, you may just do exactly what you don't want to do. Think about doing the best you can, and what happens, happens. I agree with Mad, take a step back, take a moment and relax, don't think about it for a bit. It will come to you, all will be fine! Anxiety over school, work, it's all natural. Take some deep breaths, relax, you'll get through it!

GL and God bless!
