Just looking for a little communal insight here. I've had a great week since Saturday- landed a new job, been working hard and having fun, and it's been great! I've just had intense feelings of inadequacy lately, in almost all areas of my life, and I think it has to do a great deal with my anxieties and the limits they put on my life. For instance, I'd like to go exploring in the city, or spend time with friends but I can't. I want to show my film team the new project I'm working on, but I just don't think I'm doing enough to merit their approval. I want to make my boyfriend happy, but I just don't know how. And I want to make my biological family proud of me, but I don't do enough for them to be proud of. Is inadequacy an issue with anyone else here? I'd like any and all advice or insight, it would be so much appreciated.

Try not think about the negatives of when you want to do something...saying "I can't" will reinforce the negativity and cause you to not act. If you try to think about the good things that will happen. Such as when you explore the city you can meet new friends or find lost treasure or something, Keep an open mind when it comes to trying new things. If you don't think You're trying your best, try to ask others for help and their opinion. I always get this feeling that I'm not doing enough for me and others but I usually clear my mind look around me and see that everyone is still happy. This reminds me that I'm thankful for the people and position in life that I'm currently in. Hope this helps!!

Yeah but you have to run your own race . You are as good as anybody else. Congrats on the new job..you.go girl! Trust yourself and show the film project..worse case scenario they don't like it ..thats ok..and maybe get some input ..maybe they'll love..you have to take steps...It is not your job to make people happy ...your boyfriend is responsible for there own happiness don't put that pressure on yourself ..be happy and breathe,😊
