I have an appointment with the employment specialist but I haven’t done much in the way of looking over the last week because I haven’t been feeling myself. I want to take a step back from the interviews. it’s stressing me out. Am I being a drama queen? I haven’t slept much and its not my usual.

If you’re not feeling up to it, then I would say it’s okay to cancel.

The vocational rehab person is going to call me today as well, and I just wanna tell her to piss off, to be frank.

Thanks @anon25873142, I am just crabby because she never said what time she would call— assuming that just because I am not working I must have all the free time in the world.

I hope your sleep improves soon, and don’t feel guilty if you have to reschedule your appointment— health comes first! :+1:

What are you going to do for work @anon25873142 ?

Are you getting short on funds? I hope you’ll be ok.

My experience is a decade in healthcare admin so I think I will stick to that or maybe move away from healthcare setting.

Cancelling is no big deal. As long as it doesn’t cost you anything.

May be good to wait till you’re feeling refreshed to do Interviews. Just tell ‘em you’re not feeling well today.

I didn’t cancel it in the end. We had a phone app. I’m just not sure about this interview.

After the interview you’ll be in a better position to assess whether the job is for you.

You can always try it and decide afterwards.

Doing an interview is a way to get to know each other better, it’s in no way an obligation to accept the job!

Are you looking to go back in employment @Schztuna ?

Agree with Jonathan here – no harm in doing the interview. You don’t have to accept or take the job right on the spot, if it’s offered. Give it time to think over! Good luck to you @anon25873142

It’s kind of a long story @TheFountainPen lol, but I am getting some pressure from my parents to do something with myself. I’m not sure I’m ready for work yet, but I am trying to be open-minded about it.

That’s like my biggest pet peeve! I hate hate waiting around for people to call. Idk if it’s anxiety but I feel like I can’t do anything else that day until they call.

Thanks dude :fist_right: :fist_left: I read somewhere on here that you’re not feeling so great as well— I hope things pick up for you soon :+1:

Haha yea same! It’s like I have to schedule my entire life around that phone call or something, lollls. It’s frustrating and anxiety-provoking for sure.

I’ll be okay :blush: thanks for the uplifting message. I’m usually okay I’ve just been obsessing over music lately and the rest of my life has kinda fallen by the wayside. I’ll be back to regular programming soon no worries :slightly_smiling_face:
