Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Hello everyone,
today I am asking you for help. I have battled with depression and anxiety in the past..I hit rock bottom but I managed some how to get up on my feet and carry on with life, I can gladly say that these two major problems are no longer a problem for me, you see..I graduated from college and then started to look for jobs here and there, I had a difficult time going through interviews, you may ask why! well guys that's why I'm asking you for help today! I have A BIG BIIG problem :( I have the worst fear of public speaking! I hate talking formally and going though interviews! I hate standing in front of people and just talk!
today for example! I had to stand up and talk about myself at this new job in front of over 7 seniors at a company and around 10 colleagues! it was horrible! I EVEN SAID THAT I WAS NERVOUS OUT LOUD! BIG MISTAKE!! NOW I CAN'T STOP BEING SO HARD ON MYSELF! I cried when I got home today ..a lot ! I felt stupid! I felt like I gave them the impression that I have no self confidence or character ..it's like I exposed my weakness ..I JUST FEEL STUPID..AND embarrassed WHY DID I SAY "EXCUSE ME I'M JUST A LITTLE NERVOUS'!? it was a wrong thing to do! I can learn a job..I can manage myself! but I am human and I have a weakness
I'm just feeling horrible :(

Second, I have been on soooo many interviews its crazy, but keep telling yourself you are the one for the position, that you just have to "act in front of" some folks for a little while and it will be over. Getting the interview is sometimes the hardest part. Just don't quit and don't stop trying!!!! :)
