20230319 Overcoming Imposter Syndrome and Defeating Depression

Last month I had a run in with my depression. I took a hit and was wobbling for a while.

At that time I was doing some work for my first writing client, and it was ready for delivery. The problem was, I was suffering from a bout of imposter syndrome.

I'm an expert in a particular field, but website copy for the health and beauty industry isn't it. I knew my work was good, but that little voice in the back of my head was telling me it wasn't good enough.

I've been through imposter syndrome often enough that I got on top of it, and sent off my work and something great happened, the grey mist parted.

The sense of accomplishment of getting the work delivered gave such a positive lift that I got on top of my depression.

And now I want more. So bring it on imposter syndrome, bring it on depression, I'm ready for you.
