The fact that you need this job makes it more nerve wracking for you. I think it will benefit you to work at a doctors office. You will become more educated on alot of health topics. I worked at an ob/gyn office for a few years and when I had my miscarriage, I understood it all and new what to expect, what was normal, etc. Plus, when I worked in a doctors office, I moved around plenty. I don't know what your job will be but normally, everyone is up, filing charts, looking for charts, stuff like that. And a walk every night wouold help you. I love taking my dogs for a walk at night. It is very relaxing. You could even walk on you lunch break. Going to the doctor and hearing that you are healthy will help you worries too. Good luck!!!

Thank you so much! You're right. I do need this job and I know I can do it. Thank you for your encouraging words! I am feeling better about it. Now that I am calming down and thinking clearer, I think my main worry is the same as starting any new job. (Well, if I get the job....) It's the uncertainity that gets me every time. I'm going to try to keep a positive attitude and if I get the job, I will take it as it comes, one day at a time until I am comfortable with it. I've been at this job for four years now and I think one of my worries is leaving the "comfort zone." But, I've had many jobs over the years and I'm still kicking so I'm sure I can handle one more. :) Thank you again for your help! It is such a blessing for me to be able to talk to all of you because I know that all of you understand all too well. I'm sorry you understand - but I'm glad you're there! :)

Hi vickers4 Relax and take a deep breath, take several deep breaths. You want this job and since its a second interview it sounds like you might get it. Thats wonderful! Why worry about all the "what ifs", what we fear most never happens. Look and concentrate on the positive aspects of this good change in your life. Dont borrow trouble with worry, it wont gain you anything but more self doubt. You sound like you would be a great asset to a Dr office especially to patients who are afraid to go to the Dr. How great it will be to have someone who understands like you do there to help them not be afraid to see the Doc. hang in there hun you can do this! sending prayers

I am having a really hard time today. I have a second job interview today and I am having a really hard time calming down about it. It's a really good opportunity with a company that offers really good benefits, which is why I applied for it in the first place. I haven't had health insurance for a couple of years because the company I work for now is a really small company and that makes their insurance outrageously expensive. My dad has worked for the company that I am going to interview with today for the last 20 years and he has told me about all of the benefits they offer and they are really good! I know I really need this job because as it is, I feel like I'm just living week to week and not planning anything for the future. I'm 32 and I've got to do something about it now! So, I know this sounds really stupid but one reason I am so worried about it is because it is at a doctor's office and my biggest anxiety trigger is the fear of having a heart attack. I am afraid that if I work for a doctor's office that this will escalate my fear. Am I just being stupid?! I know I need the insurance and I know that it's a wonderful company to work for and that the fact they are giving me a second interview is promising, but I am just so worried that if I get the job it's going to make my anxieties worse! Not to mention the fact that while watching the news last night they talked about heart attacks and their major causes - one being a sedentary lifestyle. I have worked in an office environment for the last 15 years and I know that is considered sedentary so it keeps racing through my brain today. Maybe I need this job so I can go get a physical checkup and put my fears to rest. That's another thing that scares me though. What if my fears don't get put to rest with a doctor's appointment? I had my cholesterol checked two years ago and the bad was 7 points high and the good was 3 points low. I have never had a problem with blood pressure or diabetes but I am overweight. I try to eat my five a day but a lot of times only manage three or four and I know I don't exercise like I should. I had all sorts of heart tests done, but that was at least 10 years ago and I worry that something may have gone wrong between now and then. I've been to the doctor's since
