I'm not sure how many this applies to but I've noticed with my depression (which at this point is very self-manageable) that the one area I really feel genuinely down is whenever imposter syndrome creeps up.
Effectively it's the feeling that you're so bad, so useless that even taking on say a job as a janitor is too hard for you (as in you suck so bad that can't even do that kind of job).
And any project that you think of is either all:
* Too hard to implement alone
* Or someone else already done it so what is the point
Essentially it makes everything feel very defeatist with an extra dose of "even if I make it, it'll be far worse than anyone else".
For those who have something like this, what's your experience with dealing with it?
Since it's not really something I feel typical psychology can help too much with, no amount of awareness over one's action is going to change the lingering self-regulation.
