Hello chat

I upped my anxiety med dosage a bit ago and the anxiety has been so bad

Currently I am spiralling bc I've been unemployed for 3 years now and I haven't been looking for anything for the last few months bc it's made my mental health so bad i physically can't do it

I'm imagining it's going to be another few years until I'm stable enough to get back in there, and at that point I feel like I'm totally doomed due to having such a big gap and it'll be a never ending cycle

Idk if anyone feels like giving a pep talk I'd appreciate it lol

Also sry if this is the wrong comm the mental health ones mod only now so idk where to post

There is a good chance that they don't call your references, if they even ask for them in the first place.

i logically know this, because i know they don't really care and you can just lie, but anxiety is crazy lmao
