Hello Anxiety-nauts!

&amp;#x200B;

For context, I currently work in a job that I'm supposed to love, but causes me huge anxiety, mainly because of the people in the workplace and the city that I've had to move to.

   I applied for a role at a different place that would allow me to live back at home with my parents, live in an area that I know well, would be a better use of my talents, is better paid, and is still in the field that I wish to work in. I had an interview with them last week, which I felt that it went very well, and they said that they'd get back to me today at the latest if I was accepted for the second round. I have so far heard nothing at all.

&amp;#x200B;

While it would really hurt to not get this job, it's really sending me haywire that I've heard not even a peek out of the employer today. I'm trying to grapple with the urge to ask for confirmation from them, for fear of sounding desperate or needy (even though I am pretty desperate by now).

I realise that I made the mistake of pinning my hopes on this job, but I couldn't help it.

&amp;#x200B;

I surely can't be the only person to be in this situation.

Sorry to ramble. Hope you're all in a much better place than I am right now :)
