I'm here too! I log on everyday and read what people post but I post very little. It's very inspirational to read about everyone! Keep up the good work!2

Here again
I didn't get the job. I'm pretty devastated. It was for a role in the same team as I work now, and I absolutely love my job and where I work, but I knew the interview wasn't going well when one of the interviewers looked incredibly bored, rested his elbows on the desk and leaned his head on his hand.
I couldn't get back into it after that, I was second guessing myself, and my confidence dropped through the floor.
I could do the job with my eyes closed too, and the feedback I got was that they also knew I could, but that some of my answers were 'disappointing'. I mentioned the fact that I assumed they were bored because of their body language, and the one interviewer said they'd feed that back to the other.
It means I only have a couple of months left where I am now.
The urge to comfort eat is overwhelming. It doesn't help that I'm not very well right now.
Today is not a good day. I know I need to try and get over it, but I just want to curl up and have a bit of a cry (although I'm not sure my colleagues would be impressed with that).

I'm so sorry that your interview went badly.
I know that the urge to use food for comfort is powerful but you & I (& most folks in this group) know that the feelings of guilt/anger/shame/disappointment, etc. that come AFTER numbing with food usually just compounds the original pain.
Perhaps you could try to do something kind & nurturing for yourself--take a warm bath, get a massage from your partner or just curl up & read something that will allow you to escape for a few hours.
Regardless of how the evening/week unfolds--whether you eat "off-plan" or not, you'll pull yourself up & be ok again.
...& you are absolutely entitled to curl up & cry a bit when you get home...

I am here. Been increasingly tired and fed up last two weeks. Cried loads over weekend and then this morning my mood skyrocketed. I am high as a kite. I have not taken anything other than my prescribed meds which are epically failing to stabilizing my mood. If I could sell my own brain's chemical high though I would be rich beyond my wildest dreams. It beats the crying thats for sure
