This is also extremely relatable to me. I have had incredible anxiety about Looking For Work (it’s capital case whenever I think about doing it). After getting fired by people who claimed I want doing my job well (I was! They hated me!), after my own brush with death (brain tumor), I was unemployed for a year. It was an awful experience.

I found a way through, by doing the absolute minimum, tiny thing to help me find a job (updating a single item on my resume was a day’s worth of work) and slowly finding enough courage to eventually start interviewing.

I’m now in a job I love for a great company and it started with baby steps.
