I'm doing BCG Casey tomorrow and have another firm's super day interview on Thursday, but my mental health and confidence are down the drain due to other issues. I've half given up and just want to cry all the time. But during these times, I know a positive mindset and fighting spirit are more important than ever.

What do I do to get that mindset and mental fortitude back? :(

Can you treat the interviews as something to distract you from the other issues going on? I was waiting to hear if my friend had managed to escape a dangerous situation when I did the interview for my current role and it was weirdly incredibly helpful bc I could just hyper focus on the interview for a few hours and let the adrenaline power me through. My friend wound up being safe and I got the job but have no memory of what I said lol
