Going through similar issues....
Even though I've been pretty darn functional at work recently, I am terrified of applying for jobs, which I may have to do if we have RIFS this year. The idea of convincing someone else of my value seems daunting, because I don't believe it myself. Objectively, when someone (like my therapist) walks me through some reality testing about my skills, one by one, I can see them, but it is my overall ability to handle something that makes me anxious. I'm mostly afraid of my emotional readiness. both for a new job and for the interview process. I mean, in interviews, people want to see optimism and confidence--can I portray these? Feels doubtful to me.
