True :( I keep waiting and waiting but at this point I need to start making money

I consider myself a hard working go-getter and to be without a job for months and months is just really taking a toll on my mental state. I feel as if I’ll never be good enough, no matter what other people say. So much so I panic at every email I get, hoping it’s that one “yes” I desperately want.

Just be patient, and remember, it’s not you - it’s covid. You are young and at the beginning of your career. This too shall pass

My first appointment with a therapist to help manage my anxiety was canceled at the last minute... just what i need after spending days preparing for this session 🙄

Deadlines can induce anxiety attacks for me. I worked through the weekend and just woke up to a (nice!) email from the client asking about progress. We're not going to hit deadline. This caused an all-out anxiety attack at 6:30 am and now I have to somehow get myself together and work.

How can I have a healthy relationship with deadlines? That "good and done is better than perfect" saying is nice, but expectations are very high. I just want to stop feeling this way. Therapy helps, kind of.
