I just noped the fuck out of a job interview

31% Normal

I got totally overwhelmed...the job description turned out completely different than I can handle. I have mental issues, I was supposed to meet this lady at the office and I literally could not do it I went home and cried. I haven't been able too keep a job for any period of time. I feel like I can't handle responsibility, I get lost half the time driving local. My last job I forgot to show up half the time. Why do I feel like my life is so out of control and fucked up?

So sorry to hear you are struggling. Jobs, and especially job interviews, can we so stressful and anxiety inducing as a result. Hang in there, you'll get a better opportunity.

The first step to solving the problem is recognizing that there is a problem. Step 2: get professional help if you cant do it on your own.

Dude, you need to start small, maybe get a diary, practice keeping times, and practice your driving more and you need to see a shrink, you probably have agrophobia.

Job searching is hell, and a very self-deprecating experience. You're probably not as unqualified as you think. Not sure what to say about forgetting to show up for work. But just keep in mind that 90% of what you do on any job is what you learn on the job.

If they've bothered with an interview, they've already approved of your credentials. At that point they really just want to know if they like you. Keep that in mind going into your next.

That's normal for someone with mental health issues: do you have some professional support? I have days like that too but I work from home on a casual basis so I can decide not to work if I'm feeling overwhelmed and just be quiet at home until I feel stronger.

Can you get yourself on to some form of government benefits until you're well enough to try the workforce again?

  PS: I forgot to ask, what does "noped" mean?

    Oh it means, drop everything and run...
    I've had therapy in the past and I'm on meds but I haven't seen a therapist for a year. I thought I was pretty much able to cope but I guess not.
    I've tried getting disability two years ago after my suicide attempt but I was denied. In the US its hard unless you hire a lawyer.
    Ideally want to work but I sometimes just forget that I'm supposed to be there ori feel panicky and hide in the bathroom.

Cry if you need to, it will help release chemicals in your body.

If I may ask, what kinda job was it? I do tend to get overwhelmed quite often myself.

  I was going to work with mentally challenged adults...but they said Id need to learn how to give shots, deal with seizures, possible fighting etc. And take two plus week of unpaid training. Plus its in a really bad area of town. I just felt holy crap, I can barely take care of myself who am I kidding? I'd feel bad if something happened rto them in my watch. I wanted to do something that helps people.
  I just thought it was going to be aiding in activities.
