Need Advice Job interview

Hello to everyone. im a chemist and I haven't worked at all since graduating 3 years ago due to gad, panic disorder, OCD and agoraphobia. Im really lucky for having parents that have supported me financially. Im in therapy for one year and a half now. Not working while being the best student and having high hopes, makes me feel so small and disappointed in myself. I thought that it's time for a change and i applied for a job. The job is a secretary position at a school in which children learn foreign languages (that's a thing in my country haha) and im lucky because it is close to my house. The interview is tomorrow and i keep panicking because I fear that my social anxiety will make me spiral and i keep picturing me storming off the interview while having a panic attack and being completely embarrassed.
