I am terrible at waiting for a response after an interview. It eats me up. It turns me into a total paranoid, email checking wreck.

It's like dating. You just have to obsess over it every waking moment of your life and base your entire state of well being on whether they respond or not. Then when they respond months later it's because they're in love with you and were scared to admit it, and definitely not because there was a better candidate. Hope this helps!
