Anxiety - should I do this?

I’ve name changed as I’d rather not out myself. I’ve struggled with anxiety on and off for years and it’s come back big time.

I’ve had a rough start to 2020. My job finished just before xmas. DH was sacked the first week in January...

I’m a passionate European and Breshit has hit very, very hard. Horse riding is one of the ways I manage my stress and anxiety, but 2 horses have died at the yard since xmas.

Basically I’m in a mess, I’ve been fighting constantly with DH. Tensions are high. We’ve had some time away from each other but it hasn’t helped. I struggling with day to day stuff and am having thoughts of self harming...

I had some health issues last autumn and have been referred to a neurologist... the appointment is next week and although I am convinced its just the peri-menopause, I am worried about that too.

So next week I have a job interview... its for what should be a great role but it is likely high stress and is full time. Previously I have been part time to fit around family.

Is it madness to carry on with this application - DH has found another job and it will be starting soon. There are other jobs out there that are part time, just not so interesting.

Shoukd I go through with it or will it be the straw that breaks the camels back?

I would go to it - you may not get offered the job or you may not want to take it if you do, but either way you might as well get more info. Hugs

I would go for it, just as interview practise. If you do get offered the job - great you get to make a decision and if not it probably wasn't the perfect job for you but at least you were brave and got an interview under your belt.

thanks so much for the perspective. If nothing else I need the interview practice...

I agree with PP go for the interview practise. Much better to practise with an interview for a job you're not even sure you want. Good luck OP!
