Yes, I told him it wasn't what I wanted to do and he was very gracious and said to keep in touch, so it went well. I think his persistence was because he thought I didn't think myself capable of doing the job, but when I said I had given it a lot of thought and still wanted to try to find a job in graphics, he was very understanding. So THAT'S taken care of. Phew!
Now to find a job. I find myself getting very frustrated with the job search these days. All the graphics jobs seem to include things I don't know how to do, and I can't seem to pinpoint anything else I do want to do (everything sounds so scary for some reason!). I find myself getting very overwhelmed and having a hard time focusing. It seems just last week I had it all figured out, but then I got ambushed by depression and anxiety and now everything is all muddled.
For now I'm trying to just concentrate on applying for my minimum of 5 jobs a week (what's required to get unemployment) and spend the rest of the time trying to calm down and get back to the good place I was at before. Its hard because I'm still worried about the unemployment not coming through. But the Xanax is definitely helping, and so is the support I get here. Thanks so much everyone.
