My therapist was trying to get me to think ahead in terms of what MAY happen and how I would handle it so I am not blindsided and left without options or plans in my pocket. He told me that was his intention. But it had the opposite effect and made me extremely anxious! And thanks for the support..... you're very kind. I hope I've been validating for you in your own situation. I try. __________________ "Twenty-five years and my life is still trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination" ~4 Non Blondes |

Ya, that seems ridiculous. Why throw out scenarios that haven't happened to try and help someone? Sorry your therapist stressed you out more!
You have definitely helped me a lot! Anyways, hope things get better for you. You are strong for moving forward and smart to reach out to all your channels of support in time of need! |

And thanks so much...... yeah, I cannot deal with hypotheticals. I have to just live in the present moment with what is happening in front of me. He posed far too many hypotheticals, I cannot think in those terms, and it stressed me out completely. NOT helpful. I am definitely gathering my support system. I'm calling various friends and am talking to them about this. __________________ "Twenty-five years and my life is still trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination" ~4 Non Blondes |

I did not get the job I had hoped I would be getting an offer for.
Here was her note (pasted below) - which made little sense to me: am I overqualified????? Is that what she is saying? They changed the role on me during the interview process, particularly during that last interview, so maybe instead they decided that they couldn't offer me the role I had applied for? "Hi ___________, Thank you so much for going through the hiring process with me and the team. Ultimately, coming across a strong candidate like you made the team reflect on the role we were hiring for and right now we're not going to move forward with your candidacy. I hate to say something like you're too skilled, but it's the honest truth. After meeting with the team and Peter, the conversation became clear that we could bring you in, but it wouldn't be a fair career progression. You would bring a welcomed level of mentorship and management. Again, I appreciate and thank you for your time in this process and I wish you the absolute best in your search. I'm sure a very lucky company will scoop you up. All the best, M __________________ "Twenty-five years and my life is still trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination" ~4 Non Blondes |

I also interviewed for a job which I did not get. I don't feel bad though because I realized at my age I am too old to be a company employee. I learned this the hard way. I hope things work out for you in the end. Sometimes, you get what you need, not what you want.

I am really not mentally well right now. I feel like I am becoming mentally unstable and ill. This is not a healthy situation for myself, being dependent on an abusive husband and stuck in an abusive marriage. It is not healthy.

Well, when God closes a door, He opens a window.
That's what just happened. Right on the heels of the job rejection, I get an email from a company recruiter about a Director level role! The plus side is that she found me; I did not have to apply for this role. She said she was very impressed by my background and wants to talk. So, things are looking up, at least on the job/career front. I am changing therapists too. I found one who may be far more effective for me in dealing with an abusive marriage from which I must carefully exit without harm. Today I feel OK. A bit tentative and scared, but Ok relatively speaking. I am not shaking and I am not falling apart. I am trying to strengthen myself as best as I can. __________________ "Twenty-five years and my life is still trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination" ~4 Non Blondes |

So I have NO idea how this morning's interview went!
The HR recruiter at the very last minute changed the interview to a video call. I was prepared for a phone call and had not showered. So I rushed to put my hair up, put makeup on and a business shirt, all within three minutes before the interview began. What a disaster. __________________ "Twenty-five years and my life is still trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination" ~4 Non Blondes |
