What’s wrong with me why do I feel like I can’t work?

Hi guys if you’ve read any of my other posts you’ll know I’ve been out of work for 13 months which in itself causes massive stress anxiety depression. But every time I get interview I get the overwhelming feeling that i just can’t work so I end up not going. I start having all these symptoms like my back just gets all tight my head hurts I just feel like I’d start to physically and mentally burn out if I tried to work just feel all round terrible and I just don’t know how or why I feel this way. Is this anxiety? Is it something else will I ever get back. Sorry for the massive amount of negative posts recently

My husband is the same way. We live with his mother with a child and he can't seem to get past the anxiety of interviews and new people on a job for two years now. I have empathy but at the same time I resent him for having over 800 days off while I work hard every day to pay for everything everyone wants to do. I think you just have to expose yourself to it and if you fail you learn from it and keep going until you get a job.

Thank you for your reply it was very helpful. I’m sorry you and you’re husband are also dealing with this I wish you the best of luck in overcoming it. I resent myself for not being employed despite only being 21. I feel terrible regardless of not being at work but that exaggerates my symptoms and horrible feelings when I do

Don't resent yourself just keep trying. Do the interviews and keep trying. You will get better with each one.

Never apologize for expressing your own emotions. Your experience is common to anxiety sufferers. It can definitely get better, it just may take extra effort. Don't criticize yourself, everyone goes through questioning or difficulties at various times. I would just suggest focusing on confidence and believing the best in yourself.

No there is nothing wrong with you. I understand the feeling of unable to work and not feeling to work due to depression. Currently I’m facing the same situation, everytime I try looking through the job ads I will think to myself I can’t do this this is tough, but let don’t give up and keep trying.

Don’t be sorry for sharing what you’re feeling and dealing with. I pray God gives you an overwhelming dose of his grace, love and sound mind. Try meditation and watch what you speak. The tongue is powerful. Speak positivity and of what God says you are. He’s got you. Trust Him.
