Hi Sarah, I find it helps to go do something fun, something that takes my mind completely off my problems, then when I go back to whatever I need to do my mind is fresh. Hope this helps.

I feel like this a lot too... and I'm a bit older than you... so it's a normal feeling. I especially relate to "every(thing) I do is not good enough"

Every mistake at work makes me feel like a total loser and I'm constantly worried that I am going to be fired or gossiped about... but you know, the main thing is this is all about our confidence (lack of)... and our warped perceptions of self. Most of what we tell ourselves about ourselves is not true. (The negative things)

Have you tried affirmations? I know they sound silly... but the one I use the most was actually from a wise friend of mine who saw/listened to me as I was becoming more and more frazzled about life and everything in it. She simply said "everything works out better when you relax your energy"...

So, whenever I feel that anxiety and hopelessness, I think back to her words and take a deep breath...and say to myself... everything is going to be okay... I just need to relax my energy....

I take a few more deep breaths and concentrate fully on what I am doing in that exact moment... whether it be work or whatever. I also find that puzzles, games, talking with a friend, playing with a pet, watching a funny movie, a hot shower or bubble bath, going for a walk... things like that help me relax too...

Good luck... you will be fine!
