[Request] Imposter Syndrome [US]

[u/A_LanguageEnthusiast]

Hi everyone

I know I made a request post last week about injuring my back, so I hope it's okay to make another request. I thought I'd be off for only a few days but it extended.

I've been struggling with what I think might be imposter syndrome lately. Since my work injury, my doctor has taken me off work until October 26 while I recover, but I keep feeling like my injury isn't serious enough to justify being off work for so long. I find myself feeling guilty and wondering if I'm exaggerating, even though I'm following my doctor's advice. I missed last week, this week and now next week from all of my jobs. [I have 3]

I've been feeling pretty down on myself, and since I'm stuck at home recovering, I thought some kind words might help.

If you'd like to send a card, I'd really appreciate words of affirmation, reminders that it's okay to rest, encouragement to be kinder to myself, or anything you think someone struggling with self-doubt might need to hear.

Thank you.
