need job interview good vibes

[Connonym]

Interviewing this afternoon and I'm incredibly nervous. Actually I think I might be starting to have an anxiety attack and it probably wouldn't be a good idea to interview after taking Xanax would it?

1. Knock back the Xanax with a shot of Scotch. You'll do great.

2. good luck!

maybe half a xanax just to take the edge off

[Haole Girl]

8. What if they do an impromptu drug test?

Probably not a good idea.

[fizzgig]

14. xanax is a prescription drug

there's nothing for her to worry about

15. At an interview?

Does anyone do that? Is it even legal? :shrug:

[Haole Girl]

17. Yes

In the airline biz, anyway. Of course, they give you 20 minutes to get to the drug testing center. And, yes, while Xanax is a prescribed drug, I'm not sure how some employers might view it.

3. I hope it goes well.

I hope the anxiety goes away. Be well. :hug:

4. My wife has two interviews today.

Hope your not taking her job! :sarcasm:

Seriously, good luck to you! :hi:

5. Back AWAY from the Xanax!

:)

I will send you good interview vibes.

6. Good Luck, C

Take a lot of deep breaths, and try to imagine the person who is iterviewing you naked.
Works for me...p

7. Do **not** take Xanax (aka the big eraser)

That stuff is garbage. You can do it... relax... breathe... think, in your mind, of your favorite peaceful spot. Feel it...

Good luck!!

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. Uh...

To people with panic disorder, Xanax is not "garbage" or a "big eraser."

[Haole Girl]

18. Uh...

I am quoting from a headline from Consumer Reports magazine: "Xanax: The Big Eraser." It's not a term I made up out of thin air. And, I have personally witnessed more than one person's brain become fried from the use of these kinds of prescription drugs.

Xanax has been found to wipe out long term memory. And the memory loss is permanent. It is hard to panic or worry about anything when one no longer has a memory, though, I suppose.

Just so you are aware, I was trying to help-- not just make a bitter accusation. I am sorry if you viewed it as such. I took the drug, myself, until I happened to read that article. And I was glad I did read about it. So I let others know too. Contrary to what some may think, I don't post simply to be hateful.

On a final note: Once all other options have failed (counseling, bio feedback, meditation/yoga, etc) I can understand where a person might need anti anxiety meds to function in modern day society... but I just hate to see drugs like Xanax used as widely as they are. I mean... think of it this way... didn't millions of people function quite nicely before those drugs? OK.. maybe not some... but those kinds of meds still don't need to be used as much as they are (IMHO).

10. A bit late...

but I hope that all goes well.

[Connonym]

11. thanks all -- I have a followup interview tomorrow

They seemed disappointed that my experience wasn't more recent so I'm not sure what's going to happen. Thanks for the good vibes. I know if this doesn't pan out that something will eventually. The process is just nerve wracking

[lost-in-nj]

12. WOW them tomorrow

we will be there!!!

holding your hand

Remember
they would NOT have asked you to come back if they were not intrigued....

((((((((((((((((VIBES))))))))))))))))))))
