Layoffs

I am 30 and just got promoted to Senior manager. I think I am doing well but I feel I am driven more by pessimism, imposter syndrome, and fear of getting fired as opposed to a positive mindset and the desire to thrive in my career. I feel like I am suffering from some sort of a mental issue but wanted to throw it out here and get some advice to deal with this from the fishbowl fam as opposed to going to therapy. Thanks in advance for your responses!

Anyone else on a “high priority” project with great visibility but feel zero gratification because my senior is a slide maniac?

That sounds terrible but I have skills that are more useful elsewhere. Send the hate.
