> Speaking of thinking too much, I've been reading "Feeling Good" by David Burns, after someone recommended it on one of these boards. I can't remember now who it was, but I'm finding it very helpful! I had no idea that most of my usual modes of thinking were actually the distorted thinking of depression. I think I knew it before, but it crept up on me, especially the self-esteem issues since I've been jobless and penniless.
>Yes I'm sure my perception and thinking are distorted too. I never really know if it's just my perception or if it really is what I think, sigh. ..does that sound like I lack confidence?
I'll see if I can get that book from the library..doubtful though as they never have any others, but maybe the uni library might. There are so many US books I haven't been able to get over here. I've imported a couple but it gets too exxy to keep doing that.> My job interview, btw, was cancelled, I have to reschedule. But I found out that the guy who's interviewing me is going to be leaving in a couple weeks, so I'm going to apply for his job too as I'm qualified for that too. Either way, I'm hoping I may have a golden opportunity here. So, I'm so glad I've been reading this book and straightening out my negative thinking so I'm not defeated before I start. :)
That sounds terrific! I once blew a job away(as a youngster) by only applying for the lowest one..and I was told I could have walked in (later) the highest one (only I hadn't applied!..derr)..govt statistics/computer type job and they wouldn't let me do a late application!
So if you apply for both your going to more than double your chance!
