It always feels like I’m never good enough. My work is never good enough. Showing up isn’t good enough. I just don’t feel good enough and it’s killing me.

I can definitely relate to not feeling good enough. Feeling like you're not good enough for your job feeling like you're not good enough for your spouse or your other half. Just feeling good enough is never just enough. People always want to talk about you people always going to judge you whether they know you are not. Depression and anxiety is definitely not for the weak. You can remain humble and keep a smile on your face but then you still feel sad and alone. No matter how many people you have supporting you or in your corner. You're never enough still.

Good enough for what or whom? If you stay in any role long enough - my experience at least- you learn that half the team is competent, sure, and the other half is winging it, hoping no one notices that they actually barely have a clue. You are probably doing just fine. Find a therapist in person if you can or online or at least one of those meditation apps. Showing up is plenty so get that garbage out of your head. You’re more than enough.

I’ve been interviewing at an agency with the intention of filling a Director role. Recruitment reached out soon after my last meet-and-greet interview (about 6 to 7 people total) to tell me the team thinks I would be best suited for an Associate Director role with a fast follow of a Director promotion.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?
