Question/Help Impostor syndrome and academic stress
Im close to passing an exam that is very selective and the stakes are high , i sacrificed a lot for it but now as its approaching i feel like im trapped and i cant get out… if it didnt workout which is a possibility then i cant imagine how i will deal with my hurt and disappointment and the time , energy and ressources i invested in this… on top of that im not able to study and focus well lately , all i think about is how my performance in the last years wasnt the best and that many people used to get better than me and we are all passing the same exam so my chances seem smaller every time i think of everything that is against my favor or compare myself to others . I just cant shake the belief that im not enough or that im just mediocre and i need to accept it and its killing my soul everyday in a way no one could ever imagine or understand …. If anyone went through this or can understand what m talking about can u tell me what could help please ?
