I'm once again being debilitated by my body's panic reaction. My stomach feels like someone's twisting it, I have to force myself to eat, and I'm shaky and moving and fidgeting constantly. Several things are causing it. Among those are:
- a research paper I need to revise, which I have already been procrastinating for weeks because I find it so boring
- an upcoming job interview in about a week which I need to prepare for
- an upcoming big trip my partner and I will go on, which I am looking forward to very much, but which of course also involves some nerves, and we still need to find someone who'll look after our pet
- if I get said job, we will have to move to another city after our trip and basically settle into an entirely new life there
- if I don't get said job, I will have to urgently find one after returning from our trip
The main ones stressing me out right now are that research paper and the job interview. I find it close to impossible to concentrate enough to work on that paper. The tasks are so boring. I know no one can really help me there, I just need to pull myself together and get it done.
The job interview's stressing me because I don't know what to expect and what they will ask me. I will prepare for it this week and also practise it with a friend, but I am still extremely nervous. I find the kind of questions they ask at job interviews very unintuitive, and I can't guess what they aim for with those questions and what they might want to hear. People keep explaining it to me with example questions, but I find it so confusing.
And the upcoming move to a different city is stressing me, because, well... I think that one's obvious. Change, change, change, uncertainty, and more change. I can't even sit still, I'm so nervous and jumpy.
