The same thing is happening to me! I am a bundle of nerves.

Haha I was like that for a whole week. I thought about every single question...and I thought I sounded like a complete idiot. I guess its normal. 😛

I guess it never ends if you get rejected.
On the way out I remember shaking the hands of one of my interviewers but can't remember if I shook hands with the other. This still bugs me after being accepted.
Yeah exactly...since this whole process is so fickle you are constantly saying to yourself....I did good but then you think but what if they were really asking "X" or did I make enough eye contact...or too much? Oh well, nothing i can do now about it. I do think the only cure is an acceptance so I will try to keep my mind busy until I hear back, catch up on some PS2.
For me the pattern seemed to be this: immediately upon leaving the interview I was confident and sure it went well....hours of nuerotic dissection/interview replay follow, and suddenly I had a terrible interview. As far as the cure it can be either the above or a complete nervous breakdown...you pick
Coming out of interviews, I always felt really good about myself, but most of that was probably relief at having all of the pent-up anxiety leave my body. As time went by, I found myself feeling less and less confident about how I had done. The mind does terrible things.
