How does one get confidence, if ANYONE knows, please tell me?!!!
Ah, I am rambleing, firstcup of coffee, lol!
CarrieAnne, try replacing every negative thought with a positive one, like:

I went to school before, and I can do it again. It will be more fun since I can do it because I want to and not because I have to.

I use math every day. I just need to review what I have already learned.

I'm going to find a great job. I am valuable and have plenty to offer.

You have found jobs before. You will find one again. Maybe you can approach it like this: You are interviewing THEM to decide if THEY are good enough for you to want to work for them (whoever "them" is).

I hope this makes sense. I have had to battle though all these things myself. I have learned that I am much more likely to succeed when I believe in myself. Hope this helps. Big Hugs to you.
