Job interviews are so stressful

A person from a company called me recently. They offered a full-time job. I want to earn money, but I have a disability. And I accepted a full-time job. I can't believe this. I took the exams and on Monday I will have the last interview.
Yesterday when I had my tests and an interview I forgot completely what I wanted to say. I couldn't find the word in English. So I couldn't answer a question. I just stayed there with no words. Today I had a job interview with a person. I expected the worst. I was very anxious. And that person seemed so understanding and kind. Again I couldn't find the words and the man didn't laugh. It was my first job interview.
I will receive an answer on Monday, I will have my last interview. They will think if they will hire me. The job is from 1 pm to 10 pm. I can't imagine working for so many hours. And they don't have part-time jobs. I wanted to give myself an opportunity. I am not sure if I can handle this or if they will hire me. I will receive the minimum wage. I really need money, but I don't know if I can handle working for so many hours every day. I couldn't say no to an opportunity. These don't appear often for me. Now I start to have panic attacks only when I think that I should work for a full day. Until now I had only part-time jobs. Many people won't understand this, but I have depression and panic attacks. These made me unable to work and concentrate. I can work with breaks and part-time, but I have never tried to work full-time.

Here's my advice. Don't panic about things you don't know anything about. If you take the job, just go in and do your best, and if it works out, great. If it doesn't? Well, you cross that bridge when you get to it. No need to stress yourself out about things you can't know, and you aren't out anything for trying.
Best of luck to you. As for needing money, where I come from, when you need it, you simply do what you have to do, no matter how bad it hurts. If you have options, that's one thing. If you don't? You have to suck it up and do what's necessary.
Sometimes easier said than done, I realize. But it's the ONLY way to get ahead and make your life better.

first of all, congrats on first rounds that you passed! fingers crossed that you will pass the last one too. being caught up, it can happen to many; i mean, you were having an interview on camera and in foreign language, which is not easy at all. i think it might sound a lot now but i think you won't be sitting that long. my advice is that you try and see how it's going for you. i know attacks are there but it's very positive you had an interview. Diana, as Koreans say, hwaiting actually, fighting!
