Been suffering from anxiety spikes the last couple days. Heavy feelings of imposter syndrome and self-doubt. Been a while; read years.

You ever have one of those projects?

It’s doubly odd because I’m feeling pretty good at the day job.

@itsjoshbruce I have and do. Improving now, but spent a couple of years going through periods where I would wake up in the middle of the night with panic attacks. This on the heals of a horrible concussion that took 2+ years to mostly recover from. Time and self care were and are so important when going through tough times like this. For me it was learning to take small steps. And oddly I found playing Flow for 10 minutes a day greatly helped with the concussion portion. Time and self care.

@itsjoshbruce yes, it happens to me all the time. i'm normally the technical lead for my security team and it can be nerve wracking.

the thing that get me through is knowing i've gotten through times when i was truly over my head just on my own abilities and quick thinking.

@itsjoshbruce There are always hurdles in this line of work that once we pass it, it's like a huge weight is lifted from our chests and we can sit back and look at what we made and how far we came to make it. Keep up the positive energy and you'll do great!
