I think one of the reasons I am so fucked over today is that last night was the most intense and horrifying playing out of impostor syndrome that I have experienced.
This is apparently incredibly common in Type A people where they dream that they aren't qualified for the position they occupy and their academic credentials are either deficient or just plain false.
I did have a fairly intensive day of research yesterday and haven't been feeling my best, so I almost get it.
But most of the time, it is just about having to complete a course or something like that...not a moment when someone literally tells you that the whole life you think you live is a total lie and has been for years.
And to compound it, that we didn't have a large farm acreage or the house I thought we lived in for the last 35 years...that all this was just my imagination...left me gutted by the time I woke up this morning.
I had to keep reassuring myself when the cats turned up in bed before I got up that this all was real and that I really did have a shit load of client meetings and work to knock out.
But all day long, it has weighed on me.
