Keep that Head up! It just wasn’t meant to be, and that’s okay! We have so many things set in our minds, and we have this idealogy that if it doesn’t go as we planned, then everything was for nothing and it’s all ruined. The truth is, it is far from that. I have been in your shoes, only with trying to find a place to live, and being turned down due to the other applicants being chosen over me many times. I felt stuck, hopeless, like nothing is going my way and I will never be able to find a place to call my own. Until one day I fianlly did, and after the long wait, I now have a place to lay my head at night. This will also happen for you, this job wasn’t meant for you because there is another one out there that is. And with patience, it’ll find you and you will be so happy you never stopped searching! Keep going you’re almost there!

When I finished uni I applied for loads of jobs, dozens in fact. I got a lot of straight rejections, some first interview rejections and a couple where I got to the final stage and didn't get it. Was very disappointing not to get them and for all of them I was applying to be an actuary. Somewhat as a punt I applied to IBM for an IT role (I did maths at uni and had a fair amount of IT passion from home). Got the job and have now been in IT for 13 years, 3 with IBM, 10 with my current employer and about to move on to a really exciting new role in a couple of weeks. Really glad I didn't get those actuarial roles now! Moral of the story? Sometimes disappointments turn out for good.

It’s not just about how the interview went, it’s also about experience vs. someone else they interviewed for.

Help
Told my close friend about how I think I have harm ocd and showed a video describing her experience with it so I wouldn’t have to share mine. Told him how when I see the number 22 I get paranoid that I’ll harm someone, and he gave me advice to go to a psychiatrist then left me on read after we were having a conversation prior. I’m so scared to open up to people about it and now I don’t think I will again.

Panicking and feel back at stage one
Earlier I posted about trying to get back to sitting on my sofa without a blanket covering it. And I did it, but now my day has been ruined. I left for two seconds and my cat decided to sit there, so now it's not clean anymore. This is because sometimes she's had number two stuck to her and no longer trust that she's clean. It took so much for me to just do that and sit without a blanket and now I'm just so done. I'm also scared to walk anywhere in my house. We sometimes get slugs in our conservatory and I don't walk in there anymore because there can be slug slime trails (it's carpet). The thing is, my mum regularly goes in there, my dad too. And then they proceed to walk around the rest of the house without changing shoes or anything. I'm just panicking because I was having a good day and now I feel like I'm isolated to my bedroom.
