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.

    You’d do better than no people in that position, right? It’s gonna be harsh at first, but I feel like you can make it. You launching yourself headfirst is a bold move, and it’d get easier once you settle. Good luck.
