Hey guys. I can't seem to handle in person convos and job interview. I can't focus. My heart starts to race. And my mind can focus on what the person is saying. I was in an interview today and almost blacked out. Not sure what to do. Anxiety is def getting worse.

Hi , I get you, I had an interview few weeks ago and totally blacked out, felt like I was speaking in high pitch voice and could hardly catch a breath, and not sure what none of us were saying cause all I could focus on was trying to catch a breath.

She did never pause and ask if I was ok , so that makes me think that anxiety doesn't show as much on the outside as we think it does.

Have you been in therapy or had professional help to make your anxiety less?

Just breathe. Nothing is as bad as our mind makes it out to be. Before you get called in for your interview, let your mind become present in your surroundings. Brush all that clutter away that occupies your mind. We are at our best when we have a clear head.
