How do I deal with uncertainty about getting a new job?
You’re in the midst of a job hunt. Although it can be exciting to see what lies ahead of you, it’s okay to feel anxious about the uncertainties. Every time you do a job search, you experience different things, and I see that today you are experiencing discomfort with it.
Self-hatred is my biggest concern right now. I wish I could deal with it somehow, but I’m just stuck on it. Even when I try working through it, I automatically get back to my negative thoughts, so I just give up
I really attempt to be put together, but I feel behind in life. I just wish I was perfect in terms of having things planned out and hitting certain milestones "on time”
I'm trying to make my long-distance relationship work. I'm okay with my partner fulfilling their needs elsewhere, but I'm so afraid they'll bond with someone else and I'll lose them
I push everyone away that gets too close and just self-sabotage. I don't seem to be able to stick to some of my relationships for very long, because I don't let them in
I’m going through some huge transitions right now. So, everything feels very shaky in my life, as if there are no roots
I have friends that I like being around, but I am afraid of letting them in because I'm having a hard time confiding in them
I sometimes feel like my partner will cheat on me, even when it’s irrational and I have no logical reason to feel so
When something bad happens I feel anxious. I don't feel like it's okay..like there's something telling me that I'll never be happy and content, and the idea of being happy, is just alien to me
Anxiety as an emotion, when unchecked, can push us into thinking in a self-critical manner. We may also tend to blow things out of proportion, magnify the possibility of something bad happening to us and truly believe them to be true.
I thought once I reach a certain compensation or title, I would be really happy and my job would become less exhausting. But, with more money and better title and recognition also.. nothing really changes

I experienced intense parentification growing up. I took the responsibility for my parent’s feelings and I was often more of a parent to them than them being a parent to me
