this is kind of hard to explain but i have an interview next week, and its quite stressful, the srange thing is its after the interview that im more worried about, i feel like once the interview is over im going to need to run and hide somewhere isolated and dark for a couple of hours or something, surely after the interview should not make me feel like that, i cant really explain it.

Sounds like you're describing how much energy it will take to get through the interview -- like it's going to drain your metaphorical batteries?

I need to curl up and hide away after really stressful and/or exhausting activities/events, too -- it's the only way I can process my experience and any new information, plus it's what I need to recharge my metaphorical batteries.

Nothing wrong with needing time to recover from stress.

that actually makes a lot of sense, i always like going through experiences in my head after they happen, probably not really helpful but i feel like i need to step back and anylise everything, which unfortunatly i cant do because after the interview there is a talk and a presentation to get through. :?
