had a rather shaky experience just now
i made the mistake of looking up “job interview” on wikipedia. it led me to an article on microsoft’s interview style. after reading it, a niggling little doubt started forming on the back of my mind. as it grew, i realized it was irrational but did nothing to dismiss it. i took my vitamins and crawled into bed. the doubt lingered, and in the darkness of my room, started to grow. it manifested in some exceedingly irrational thoughts, which i won’t delve into here. but they kept mounting, and soon i could feel my blood pressure rising and my heart rate increasing. soon after i opened my eyes and the thoughts had almost brought me to tears. so i got up and took some sleeping pills. the instant i woke up i drove the niggling doubt out of my head, and i feel a lot better. but it was still not something i’d like to experience a second time.

I may not have any experience, but I know job interviews, especially
for IT work, can really make you nervous. I hope you feel better about
the whole thing – worrying is bad for you D:
i do feel a lot better, i think it was just a lack of sleep. i’ve been trying really hard to reset my sleep cycle, and some nights i get very little sleep as a result.
