I have a job interview on Monday after my therapy appointment. I do not really know what I think about it. Part of me is not sure if I am ready for this; honestly the thought kind of frightens me and my anxiety goes through the roof. The other part of is kind of excited because it could be good for me. I have not had a job since 2009 and my last 2 jobs were in factory settings where I didn't have to answer phones, or deal with the general public, This is a receptionist job. I am not good in social settings, heck my anxiety goes up when I am around a handful of family members. I think I am excited because it could be great but scared because I am just starting to get answers to my mental health that I have longed to have for so long. I don't know if this will over load me mentally. I guess my questions is for others dealing with depression and bi polar disorder; how do you cope with it? with working, with taking care of your kids, and taking care of the house?

I have trouble balancing everything for sure. But working actually helps me by forcing me to think about something other than all my problems. Have you ever done any work like a secretary before? Good luck!

My husband has a contracting business and I handle the invoices, proposals, and answer emails, fax or email invoices etc, He normally doesn't get phone calls but I have had to call clients before to verify information but never in a public setting. I never thought about it that way
"forcing me to think about something other than all my problems"

I haven't thought about it that way. That makes sense to me though plus I feel maybe having a job where I look presentable will give me some self esteem? It wouldn't be a bad job to have and when it comes to computers, it's one of the things I am really good at. I am quick to learn new software programs too. Trying to keep my head held high. Thank you for the positive thought!

As far, as juggling, it all, will this be part time, or full time?

Creating schedules, can help. Hope all goes, well

It will be a full time job I am pretty sure. I applied to a lot of places and so far this place has been my only interview but it also wasn't one of those applications online with those damn assessments.
