Advice for interviews.
I can’t really explain what I’m going through to my family as well the fear of being judged or questioned.
I have a group interview for a job coming up, and where I’m on the titration process of adhd medication and awating an autism assessment I’m just having such deep anxiety, I know I’m masking holding it in and sorta freaking out and don’t want to be a bubbling bumbling mess for my interview, my child who also is awating assessments has said they don’t want me to work but I explained I will be here the days dad is working and vise versus, and we discussed on days both parents are busy they will see one there nans and or grandad usually the same days a week so it’s easier for them and me to understand/juggle
Currently just finding it hard to be well a functioning human and I’m terrified of interviews witch makes me feel more well broken but I’m reminding myself, I am difrent and yes this is hard to do but having something neurodiverse means this will be harder. Also the yay great what if I actually get the job and have to act semi normal be confident not mess up stop my weird little half masked Stims that have become worse with anxiety stress and we’ll just being more aware and doctors told me yeah we’re referring you again. then also come home witch I love and I love my child but I know we’ll both essentially be disregulated tired and hungry together 😂.
Feel like I just need some form of positivity and affirmations, got refused a few applications and such from places, bumed me out but just told myself it’s okay, wasn’t meant to be we don’t need the negativity we’ll move on.

I’m not sure where you’re based but it could be worth asking the company if they provide any interview prep beforehand? I know a lot of employers in the UK offer upfront interview information such as giving you the questions you’ll be asked in advance to prepare, all as part of their neurodiverse support ☺️ could be worth asking if this is something they do if it would help ease a bit of that anxiety!
Wishing you all the luck for the interview 🤞🏼
thank you, I think because it’s a group interview I didn’t want to possibly not do it and than have that against me till they do the more in person ones. I think it’s just anxiety of oh lord what if i actually get through then have to seem normal 😂. The general adult fear of screwing up and making people angry.
