I work 5 days a week as a secretary, spent 4 years at home raising my family and prior to that 10 years in another admin role.
I travel 40 minutes each way every dat and have been taking meds for anxiety for a month or two, I'm still quite shaky, no appetite, jumpy but holding it in and managing to work well every day.
A vacancy in our local high school has been advertised for an office admin role, term time only.
The hours mean I would find a minder to take and drop DC to school but no holiday clubs etc and time at home for me in the holidays
The thought of an interview makes me feel physically sick as does the rejection, I don't think I can put myself through it but now I would be very good at the job and as it is so local I wouldn't have to so that hellish drive everyday which would ease my anxiety by 50%
I have a made irrational fear of crashing whilst driving, it's totally stupid but very real to live with it iykwim.

My perfect job is being advertised but my anxiety issues are holding me back. Should I go for it?
