Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

I'm beyond distressed (lemmy.world)

I have a technical interview tomorrow morning for a job after 18 months and I feel like I'm going to fail. I have no idea why though because I've been damn good at my jobs for 20 years. I just have a 6 month old that I watch 5 days a week, work a fast food job the other 2 days, a spouse that is recovering from cancer, a disease that the chemo had on him, and now an appendicitis. I NEED a job, I am running through money faster than I can make it. I'm worried that all of these pressures put more stress on me which translates somehow to my interviews.

That's a lot to deal with. Cancer is devastating, even when it doesn't kill it causes so much pain. You're working, and you have a young child to look after which is hard enough. On top of that, you've got financial issues to deal with. It's no wonder you're distressed anybody would be, and you're doing amazing.

With all this pressure it's no surprise that you're stressed about the interview. Your cup is already full, you need this, and there's a lot at stake. Your brain is understandably ringing alarms for you and telling you things about yourself that aren't true. I believe in you 100% you said yourself you can do your job. You've got this, and no matter how it goes you've got a load of supporters here the other side. Let us know how it goes we're all cheering you on
