[124/365] leave to me to be miserable about something good
I got an interview for that job I really want.
And I've been consumed with anxiety since I found out this afternoon. I know it should be good news but...there's so much to be anxious about. I haven't had a successful job interview since 2012 and I've had lots of failed ones since. I'm having a horrible depressive patch right now so I'm pretty sure I have absolutely no good qualities, which seems like a difficult starting point from which to convince other people that I do. I'm intimidated by having to do "an hour-long task" as part of the interview; I've never had that before. I hate that it's on Teams, which my laptop is way worse at than Zoom and which is less accessible to me.
Job applications and job interviews just leave my mental health shredded to bits.

You have many good qualities that will be an asset to the place you want to work. The ability to convince people not to be jerks to people with disabilities, for one.

Thank you. :)
