Does anyone here also suffer from PMDD? Sometimes I get so tired and unfocused, it’s futile to try to get work done. And added bonus of unreasonable anxiety along with it.

Oh boy, yes. I’m usually exhausted and in serious pain for the few days leading up and just after beginning. My technique over the years has been to try, when I can, to focus on the more menial tasks that need to get done during the worst times. It helps me feel like I’m getting something accomplished, and doesn’t require the same level of brain power. Most of the time, the heavy tasks can wait a couple of days until I have more energy, and then when I get there I have knocked out a lot of the smaller “paper pushing” tasks and I have more time to focus on the big things. Hope that helps some!

On June 21, I had an interview with two managers to become an HR Coordinator. Everything went smoothly, and I got good feedback, so I moved on to the management round of interviews. The recruiter initially stated that I would go through two rounds; however, between June 22-June 23, there were really five rounds, and I am still awaiting the scheduling of one more interview, even though it is now July. I'm becoming frustrated at this point. I’m still actively interviewing with other companies.
