How do you guys get through interviewing for jobs or grad schools? I'm finishing up my undergrad degree and going to have to get a "real" job soon. (I have a job that didn't require much of an interview and I sit and type all day and don't have to interact with people). Should I ask my psychiatrist about taking a benzo for specific instances where I have to interview? (I've tried SSRIs and Buspar but those haven't helped much with my social anxiety). Even the thought of starting a new job and getting past the "learning curve" or adjustment period is terrifying. I know anxiety about interviews and starting a new job is normal to an extent, but it's TERRIFYING to me. I have little to no confidence in myself. Like maybe I could get the job and hold it down, but I just feel like I won't be anything but miserable doing any kind of job that requires a certain amount of social interaction and responsibility. I'm moving soon and will have to leave my current job and find a new one. And I DO want to find something that's more related to the field of my degree (psychology), and I don't think I could find another "safe" job that I have now. But just thinking about interviewing and working in a social setting stresses me out every day, even though right now I still have some time before I need to start interviewing and whatnot. So how do you guys deal? Do you get special accommodations at work? Can you tell the people interviewing you that you have a disability? Ugh I just get so scared of life sometimes
