Every time I get a reply back from a resume I sent out I cry and do not want to go on the interview. I regress to a child like feeling of fear and dread. I have done two interiews so far, one I did not get called back for and the other one that put me through a two hour interview including a practical, wants to hire me and I filled out their online application and background check form. I have an interview on Monday because for some reason I seem to have a problem with big chain gyms. I moved into the field of personal training. Now another gym just contacted me and wants to schedule a formal interview next week. I flipped out, lost my mind, went into a panic, contacted my T from my home state, whined to my husand who for the life of him does not understand what the f**ck my issue is.

I think I just do not want to work perhaps. I went through what felt like a year of being triggered contantly and now just made a big move to another state just 3 weeks ago. I think my mind and body just want peace.

I know that feeling when I did interview rounds. After I got the right meds and anxiety pills, it became manageable. That's about it.

Any company would be lucky to have you, and you know it Are you all moved in? This sounds like a neat job - would it be part time? When i was doing nails, my cutomers appreciated having a slightly more mature woman who actually knew a little art and history working on them. You are probably more literate than the average trainer - i think that will be a HUGE plus. You are totally my inspiration.
Thanks for this!

I always feel a sense of relief when I move. New place, fresh start. Use that to your advantage. In a new state where no one knows you...it's a very freeing feeling. You get to be anyone you want to be.

It's okay to have a panic attack. Humans run away from what they perceive to be harmful, and run towards what they perceive to be helpful. Key words here are "perceive". You are perceiving this situation to be harmful rather than helpful. That means you need to get to the root of why you believe that, and try to change it with direct positive thinking. You need to believe that the new job will be helpful. Otherwise you will continue to run away from it.
