Lucy - thank you so much for sharing this. Like you, I've always been an anxious individual although for a long time, I didn't even realise that wasn't how everyone felt! Imposter syndrome features heavily in my life. I have noticed that running music or a talking book in the background while I work, although it might seem distracting to some, makes me feel less anxious - I think because it lightens the mood and makes the work feel less all-encompassing. Silence seems so loud! I wish you well in the months ahead.
