Overthinking about working again
Both me and my husband are going through a rough financial time right now. His job isn’t bringing in enough income to sustain us for another month and I find myself selling things online to survive. Today I submitted a few resumes out and I’m kinda having a mini anxiety attack after that. I haven’t worked in an office for 20yrs!
After we got married, I helped my husband with his startup business. Back in my country, I worked for about 5 years before I came to US. To keep us afloat, I did some in home care, and sell baked goods.
Now, when I think about the possibility of an interview, I realized I will have nothing to wear. I will have to invest in new proper attire for the interview and the job if I’m hired. And will I do a good job? It’s been 20yrs. I feel like I will have so much to catch up on and my confidence is shrinking just thinking about it.
I want to stop stressing about money and do what I have to do, but it’s so hard. I’m sorry I’m rambling, just want to get this anxiety out of my system. I hope to feel differently tomorrow 😞
