I did a mistake applying for a job while I'm unwell

Mom's toxic but i want to go home, i feel anxious and nauseous here and this interview is killing me. Now im wondering how to turn it down. I can't do it. I got so nauseous, anxious, heart racing, head hurting. I don't want to burn the bridge because it's a good opportunity if i don't find anything in my field after a few months but i can't do it now. Why did i have to apply? People peer-pressured me into "work so you don't have time for anxiety". Now im here and im on critical again

Edit. It's just that i have been vomiting since a child and have had issues leaving home. Been thinking i can't work with these mental and physical issues

I think you should go home. You have time to think about the interview it is not until next week. Give yourself some time.

I was the same way when I applied to a job I thought I wasn’t ready for.

Everybody is different, but I ended up doing it any way. Did I like it? No. Did I make the money? Yes. Did I leave when it became too much for me? Yes. Do I regret that decision? No.

Everybody’s situation is different. And sometimes you don’t have the choice to back out. I don’t know your situation, but take a deep breath and breathe. You are in control of your life, remember that. If you know in your heart that this job is not the one for you, then listen to it, if you can. If you take it and it takes a toll on you, I strongly suggest for you to take care of your health first and find another place that will give you more peace.

I wish you luck, friend. You’ve got this ❤️
