Specializes in Psychiatry

Your question?: Breaking your wrist can absolutely not be a recipe for canceling a job interview. Hopefully you wrote that "question" to get some attention, not as a "real" question. Social anxiety is common, be brave & call a local mental health professional ASAP. Or request and pay for a virtual HealthTap mental health consultation. Be safe! Get help! Congrats for your job interview & best wishes :)
