Almost always. Sometimes I have a rare shining moment of "oh, I rock" but that is a small flicker in the darkness.
Not always. Just 95% of the time! It comes and goes for me. Sometimes I feel like everything is smooth sailing and going great, next thing I know it is one issue after another and it just builds up to a point where it’s hard to come back from. Takes me a while to get out of the funk and feel like it’s going well again.
Yes. I regularly have this tumultuous, paradoxical feeling of simultaneously doing well and failing at my job. Like, I am perpetually behind my colleagues and friends in my professional development and am always slow on the uptake. That feeling of "I am an adult, I should already have everything together" or "everyone knows exactly what they are doing and they are getting farther and farther ahead of me, why can't I manage to do that, too?" Honestly, at this moment, I am feeling very much lost and disheartened for it.
I always feel like the proverbial other shoe is going to drop. But on those rare occasions when I feel like I'm doing great, I usually have that other shoe drop a few days later. Can't even trust myself to feel good about myself. Bang head here: X.
For a few minutes on a daily basis, sure.
I was diagnosed as an adult and for a long time I worked in a field that is considered “good for people with adhd” I worked in food and beverage as a chef then sommelier. I was good at it but the hours were too demanding especially after having children. I really wanted a WFH 9-5 job and now I have one. I work in operations. My job in theory is simple but I feel like I’m awful at it. When I started it, I got very depressed. I had many moments where I was like “Am I slow?? What’s wrong with me??” Then I got diagnosed and everything started making sense but now I feel kind of lost.
Probably every week lol. Sometimes, it feels like no matter how hard I try, something's always slipping through the cracks. But I remind myself that I might just approach things differently. Not worse, just not the typical way. Acknowledging that helps me take a step back, adjust, and not beat myself up.
More often than I'd care to admit. I have terrible imposter syndrome and tend to obsess over the mistakes I make. That + ADHD isn't a great combination. Deep down I know I'm better at my job than I give myself credit for being, but I still have a hard time convincing myself of it.
More than I'd like to admit! And it doesn't help that within the last month we've launched a new operating system company-wide and I feel slow, unsure, or lost a vast majority of the time in it currently. The imposter syndrome has kicked into higher speeds this week! OI!
The benchmark keeps moving. and sometimes it gets so frenetic that you get frenetic and it’s just bleh.
