It's just demotivating, to apply for somewhere you like but you hear nothing, then nothing, then nothing. I haven't even had an interview yet. I am slow, and a failure.

Spoiler

That sucks. My advice is to apply for one job a day. Put your heart and soul into the application and spend an hour or two to makeit as perfect as you can. Then, for the rest of the day, do something else, preferably something fun, to distract yourself so you don't constantly think about it. Even if it takes a hundred applictions get a job, you'll get one in just over three months this way.

While you're waiting to hear back, practice your interview skills so you are prepared when it does happen and dont screw it up. Plan to arrive to the interview five to ten minute early. If you arrive to much earlier, it'll either make you look desperate or like you have too much free time in life. If you arrive too late, that tells them youwon'tbeon timeif they hire you, which all jobs will hate, andwill just set a bad first impression in general. Look up what to wear andnot wear to an interview. Do research on the company and have at least a basic understanding of them. Be able to say what you want from the job, outside of money and benefits. Have an answer for why they should hire you instead of another candidate. List your strengths and weaknesses. Ask questions at the end of the interview about stuff like company policies, employee benefits, starting pay and pay raises, how to advancewithin the company and so on. This will show them that you're actually interested in the job and will take it seriously if you are hired, which they will like.

This is a me problem and you don't gotta do anything but my anxiety is actually a bit out of control right now just like reading this stuff. Applications are one thing interviews are another I'm sorry im just freaking out.

I am so sorry, I didn't mean to freak you out. Back when I applied for a job, it took me an hour per application, that's where I got that number from, but I'm a slow worker so it might not take you nearly as long. Also, you don't need to finish an application all at once if it's too much. Work on it for a few minutes, take a break and come back to it later. That'll usually be fine in most cases if that would help.

If you're worried about it, try doing low stress, mock interviews with family members who already have a job and get pointers from them. You won't need to worry about messing up in front of strangers and they can give you advice about what to fix (if anything) and what you're great at. The more you do, the more comfortable you'll be doing them and the less scary they'll be (I hope).

Also, if me trying to help isn't working or is making things worse, tell me to stop and I will. I won't be offended or hurt by it. Ihave anxiety too, so I know what that's like and how it can be.
