Desperate to return to work and found a job but apparantly my it skills are not good enough. I realised they use Google drive and I hadn’t swatted up on it enough, I’m such an idiot. I’m so behind with how offices work, what should I be learning? How can I get a job? I had a good career but it was years ago and now I don’t seem to be good at anything. I’m super anxious which isn’t helping. Dh has always wanted me to get a high powered job but I just want a job to get going again. I’m so anxious, I’m not eating, Dh is miserable it’s all horrible.

Why does he want that job for you! Money? Affluence? Or so he can cut his hours? A jobs a job that takes up hours every day so you might as well enjoy it most of the time.

Hi, I need a job to feel sane, and he is the sole earner which is hard.

There's a lot to unpack there. The anxiety sounds like a vicious cycle that is not going to help.

Let's set aside the hard time you and your husband are unnecessarily giving you because that's not constructive or deserved.

The job you say you found - was this just an interview that didn't lead to a job or are you working there and struggling?

What other leads do you have? Not every office will be using Google drive.

What experience do you have from previous jobs?

What's your mid/long term goal?

Hi ticktick sorry not to get back to you. I’ve been completely overwhelmed and anxious and am now taking sertraline. I’ve struggled for years not to, but finally given in!
I struggled for a month at the job, but it was obvious I didn’t fit, it was still a blow to my confidence.
im now looking for just something to get started, and I guess I’ll go on from there.
