I know how you feel. I had not worked in 2 1/2 years and am now on day 5 of my new job. I had the same thoughts during my interview process but I have been so busy working that I haven't had time to worry about anything. I think its great to be busy and feel productive again and I believe it will be good for you too! Rose

Neil, something must have worked you got through the interview. Congratulations! My thought is go ahead and take the job. You are not a fraud. Bosses never know everything about their employees - thank the Lord - and you did exactly what you would do if you were hired. You would grit your teeth and get through it, and once you were use to the job you would be able to calm down and just get on with it. I find that when I am working I'm too distracted to feel anxiety so its better than being at home. The absolute worst case scenario is that you would have to plead ill health at some point after taking the job and leave the position. So what? They still don't know anything. But go for it for now. Just the opinion of one person though. Rachele

hello all,its 3 months since i've worked, and today i had to have a job interview as a maintenance engineer in a skysraper.I was trying to not obsess about the interview; what with trying to appear normal, not panicky etc, you know how it is;but I took 12.5mg diazapam to get through it and now i feel a fraud.The interview went quite well,and they want me to attend a second but i dont know if i want the job even if i get it.As well as being the new kid on the block and having to 'prove' myself,I'm basically afraid of the size of the place,its 400ft high and i've been catastrophising about the height, using the elevators etc.Just over a month ago my doc started me on a new med called zispin and i don't know if i can trust it to work or if i'm even ready for work.I know you people on this forum understand, so i'm asking for some words of wisdom,any replies grately received! cheers ...Neil.
