Tips on how to deal with anxiety/panic attacks at a job interview and at work place?
Hi I've suffered from PD and agoraphobia for about 3 years now and I mostly have good days now so I plucked up the courage to apply for a job. I have been offered an interview at a local kennel as a part time kennel hand. I love animals and hope to work in an animal related field one day so this would be great experience. I am just worried about my anxiety or panics ever getting in the way.
Does anyone have any tips on how to deal with both the nerves on the interview day and how to deal with stress in a work place if I do end up getting the job? My anxiety has held me back so much and I've missed a lot of opportunities like this before because of it so I don't want to mess this up or chicken out of the interview.
