Hi everyone im 29 and im from south london
After being out of work for nearly 2 years I managed to get myself a work trial as a sales negotiator. I had done recruitment before and business sales for t-mobile so felt confident about this new opportunity. But then the night before the trial. I ended up getting no sleep due to mad anxiety and rushing thoughts all night , no matter what i did they came back turned on music , done press ups , watched tv , spoke on skype to a few people nothing really helped take my mind of it.
So after an all nighter with just me and my crazy stimulated mind I travelled to the new workplace it seemed to calm down when i got on the tram and then seemed even calmer when i arrived and felt really good about myself remembering how vibrant I was at previous jobs ect chatting and being bubbly to the other work trialists and my mentor . Then out the blue about an hour into a group assesment these crazy anxious negative thoughts rushed back and negative feelings just took over and I just didnt know what to do I felt a panic attack coming on and asked if i could speak to the guy hosting the assesment outside he was the one who also offered me a trial position and I had to explain to him that I had to leave due to fear of a panic attack. At this point I felt so uncomfortbale being there I did not see the point of saying I need to take a walk to clear my head be back in 5 mins ect.
I just couldnt work out what triggered it ect cos everything seemed to be going well at one point apart from the no sleep of course lol
