I'm in the interview process for a job that would change my life. I've been working for the past 3 years towards changing careers so to finally reach this stage of the job hunt process is huge. I feel like it makes the most sense that I will get the job. I'm qualified, I have the experience, I'm ready to work hard....but professionally, stuff just never works out for me. Ever. So as much as I believe I can get this job. I'm more accustomed to disappointment. I can't let myself feel any excitement because I fully expect to be disappointed. I won't even let myself think about what I want to plan to do to celebrate if I do get the job.


I don't know if I can handle the disappointment this time. After all of this work to just be stuck in the same shitty job I've been trying to leave. It would be pretty devastating, it would likely cause me to just shut down because I'm tired of working so hard for so long to get a new job. 


So, after talking with my therapist I'm thinking that I want to have something planned. Something I can do in the event that I am disappointed. Something that will distract me, help me feel better. I don't know what that thing would be though. Maybe just order in my favorite food and have a pity party? Try something fun I've never done before? What do you do to  recover from a massive disappointment?
