Ok, this is going to sound ridiculous I know. But I've been invited to a 2.5 hour interview in a couple of weeks and it's making me so anxious.
I have panic attacks and a lot of my anxiety is centred around food, if I don't eat for a few hours I get very anxious, trembly, feel extremely faint. I don't know if it's a blood sugar thing, or a metabolism thing (I'm quite underweight so maybe I have a small stomach and burn through the food quickly or something!). The interview is at midday, so right over lunch. Just thinking about it is stressing me out. What is the etiquette for needing to eat in a situation like this? My current plan is to excuse myself to go to the loo between two parts of the interview and wolf something down there because I'm assuming that asking "do you mind if I eat" is not really an option?
Maybe I should see a dr about the shaking and trembling but can't do that before the interview!
