Feel the Fear and Apply For Grad School Anyway.

Postby Survivor8484 » Thu Nov 30, 2017 10:16 pm

I have been diagnosed with GAD multiple times in my life. It's normal. I used to have a lot of self perpetuated depression as well. I'm better at monitoring what I'm thinking now.
1. I'm from a very dysfunctional family that told me, "I was a failure. I was a mistake. I am a failure by birth. I won't amount to anything."
2. I have fought through so much anxiety and without a whole lot of counseling, I have gotten a second BA degree and got a great start on a full retrain professionally.
3. I know this is my dream now. I know this is what I want for myself. It's the fear of failure and the fear of being told I'm not good enough, or bad in some way or criticism from other/authority again, that is freaking me out.
*This application I think is due at the end of Feb., sigh.
