If I’m hired I’ll be full-time sales in the Microsoft section of their hardware space.

What makes this a big deal is I haven’t worked since 2016. Suffering from mental illness (anxiety and panic disorder) and taking care of an elderly family member, I’ve been out of the workforce for 8 years.

I’m extremely nervous. I turned 41 last year, and I don’t want to be a NEET anymore. I’ve had nightmares about working again with all the stress and anxiety that comes with it, and now I’m thrusting myself head first into that reality.

I feel like being employed again will give me a huge boost in self confidence, but I’ve also never been this scared in my entire life.

    Don’t sweat it. I don’t know about other people but as long as you’re nice and willing to help people, you’ll do just fine. Also, those daily interactions with people will help you be a better version of yourself even if socializing isn’t your thing. 2016 really isn’t that long ago when you think about it! You’ll do great!
