Hey everyone,
I [28F] need some advice on handling anxiety when job hunting.

Almost a week ago I finished school and I’m once again without work. I’ve been job hunting about 40-50% of my adult life and it has taken a huge toll on my mental health to the point where I’m barely able to apply for jobs anymore. I have gotten a few warnings over the years due to not applying to enough jobs. ( I live in Sweden btw )

I have tried taking breaks.
I have tried waiting for the anxiety to pass.
I have asked so many for advice but it’s like they all give the same default answer. If their advice where enough, I would be a pro at job hunting.

I did get an autism diagnosis a few years back and I do feel better about myself, more confident and understanding of how I work so I think this time around will be different, but it’s like the old anxiety still hangs around and I don’t know how to get rid of it.

Please if you have any advice, I’d love to hear it.

      ooh I understand! Cats are weird 😂 I mean, maybe you better stick to that litterbox, or maybe you could buy another one and drill holes in it?

      wow yeah it blends in well but it’s also fairly visible due to the completely different texture (shiny against dull) and placed well. Nice!
      Mine is standing on the floor! 😅
      What hahah, it’s not like it have to be in the hallway. It should be placed where it’s easy to reach. I currently have mine on the floor in the guest room. The guestroom is right next to the entrance, but still.

      Sounds nice tho! My home is a complete mess with all shades of white/gray/black and multiple kinds of wood. It feels quite cluttered and we have a lot of stuff as well so that doesn’t help.
      Have you seen those wrappings you can use on furniture? It’s apparently called ‘dekorplast’ or ‘möbelfolie’. Bauhaus has some. It’s pretty cool how much you can change with that!

      I think I type a bit faster on the computer as well but I find it easier to take paper notes while listening 🤷 And also if the notes aren’t linear I prefer paper so I can draw arrows and stuff.
      I have recently started using Obsidian and that program really helps me focus on the notes and not how it looks. I previously used Notion, wich is also great but if you go over a certain amount of GB you’ll have to pay.

            Thanks :D

            I haven’t used it much to say, but so far is it nice. It is a lot better than notpad++ and vscode. Both wasn’t really meant to be used for note taking but that is what I used haha

            No worries :D Sure thing, discord?
