This is a tricky question because I believe it presents a little differently in everyone. This means that it happens to most people and that there's almost infinite ways of coping or adjusting.
For me, it's about having really authentic, open, supportive friends who can be a buffer if I'm on a downward thought spiral for too long.
And if I'm feeling inadequate at work or in school, I set my own goals. They already hired or accepted me. So all I have to do is be a little better than yesterday. And with clients, if you're Black and in healthcare, chances are they already like you and want you to do well.

As a perfectionist who also suffers from impostor syndrome, one thing that helped me is affirmations. Start your day by giving yourself kindness. Look in front of a mirror and start a daily mantra. It doesn't have to be anything flowery. A simple "I am good enough" can suffice. Another thing I did was talk about it. You're gonna need an outlet for those emotions and having a good set of family or friends can really help.

How do you respond to a super close friend who says they're not making masks mandatory at their June wedding (about 150 guests) because they want to have fun. To be fair, most people are vaccinated but not everyone os going to be vaccinated. I haven't been to any large gatherings in pver a year and even though im vaccinated, i don't think this is safe. Are people are generally careful? I dont think so... am i overthinking this?

Sharing some thoughts I’ve had lately:

The end of my suffering occurs with the death of my ego. I am reborn when I surrender to life exactly as it is, right at this moment (and it’s always “this moment”). I can begin to grow when I either accept life as it is, or I change my life because I can’t accept it. The better I become at surrender and acceptance, the more I experience serenity. After a long enough time I realize I’ve had a spiritual awakening. Now I am peace / joy / love.
