I did! I had it really bad. It was one of the key motivators for the podcast I started and I actually gave a talk on it earlier this year.

Talking about it is the first step to overcoming it.

Going to check your podcast out and the talk if it’s online!

That makes a lot of sense! It’s unfortunate that due to the types of thoughts it gives you, it’s natural to not want to talk about it. But once you do, it can feel like such a relief to hear people around you say they have similar thoughts or give you their perspective. It doesn’t always, but it can.

You could even anonymously submit something to dev - an in-depth confession about how you feel about it. This is such a supportive community!
