In the last few weeks my anxiety has gotten bad. This is since it hit me that I need to start applying to jobs before I hand in my masters dissertation in August. I’ve been applying, facing rejections, editing my cv, speaking to employment tutors and keeping myself busy with my blog and going to the gym. Constant worrying has forced me to do something every day, from morning to night so i’m ‘busy’ and don’t feel like a failure for not having found a part-time or full-time job. Its gotten to the point where I feel guilty: for having a lunch break, going out and I haven’t watched tv in so long! It affected my relationships at home because I was constantly getting into arguments and barely ate. Now i’ve calmed down a litte but the guilt feeling is still there and I don’t think it will ever go away. What shall I do?
it’s important to have balance in your life. It’s easy to burn out when it’s all one-sided. EAT lunch, go out sometimes, watch a tv show. these are things that will reduce your stress level. There’s no need to feel guilty. You can actually enjoy your life even when you’re going through something stressful. You don’t have to feel miserable because you haven’t found a job yet.
and if you don’t take care of your health, you won’t be your best when you do get one
. Take care of yourself!
Take one day at a time, eat healthy, exercise, work hard and play hard and eventually you’ll find a job.
You are not a failure. You wouldn’t believe how many people are looking for jobs and having a hard time. Just keep trucking along and enjoy your life while you are searching. 
Thankyou for the advice. i’m definately going to be taking it on board and doing simple things like eating properly. A few days ago I got into the habbit of watching the sunrise and its so peaceful. Yes you’re right, i’m going to put in the work because thats all we can do.
GREAT! I can tell that you’re going to do this. And you’re going to treat yourself well and respect yourself. That will show in everything you do!
sunrises are glorious!
