Its back in.....

High and rare form!

Imposter Syndrome is nothing to play with.

Imposter Syndrome is not a game. It is my lived reality.

Yesterday I was told by a medical school that my application decision is on hold.

That's failure. <---That's what this feels like.

I realize that this is because I have this thing...this thing that tells me that perfection is the standard and anything that isn't that is a reflection on me.  Anything that isn't perfection is more evidence that I am not good enough.

Everyone said last year it was my score. Now my score is great. And still this result. <----My mind says "See it wasn't the score. It was you. You're the problem. You're not good enough."

I live with a perpetual soundtrack that tells me "You're not good enough" and I work really hard to keep that volume on low but sometimes...

Times like yesterday...

Its turned all the way up.

Its a battle, and sometimes, it still wins.
