   …

   I’m speechless. This is every day for me. Any failure, any success, same results; same line of thinking. Screw up? “Oh god I’m a @#$$-up!” Do well? “Yeah, it’s just blind luck” or “Yeah, it still doesn’t make up for my failures” or whatever.

   Ugh.

      So true! I would like to let myself enjoy a success just for once without trying to reason why I shouldn’t be happy.

   I can’t even describe how much this resonates with me.

   “The impostor syndrome”. Even after finishing a PhD degree… Against many odds… I continuously question whether I am actually getting away with “it” (everything).

   And then if you try to tell someone you feel this way? “You succeeded! How can that be a bad thing?” The thing I hate most about my anxiety/depression is the constant need to explain or even defend my feelings to other people.

   Skateboarding comes a lot of trial and error but landing something perfect is never satisfying or good enough which makes it hard for me to enjoy my favorite hobby. Something I used to love I now can never enjoy

   I have been working at the same place for 8 years now. It is the longest I have worked at one place. Even though I get good performance reviews and my boss is happy with my work, I still go in to work most mornings so worried it makes me nauseous. All I can think about on the way in is that today is the day they finally realize I have no idea what I am doing and fire me. I don’t keep any personal items in my cubicle so that it will be easier to clear everything out when they finally realize what a fuck-up I am.

    This is an incredible depiction of how I feel. I’ve always been good at whatever I do but it doesn’t feel genuine. A lot of my job now, I’m learning as I go. I feel like I’m always figuring something out just in time. What happens when I don’t figure out what I’m doing in time? Will it cost $70,000 or $120,000 or $400,000 or $700,000?
