I have a little over a week to finish and submit a resume and cover letter for a job I'm very interested in. I have a skill set and experience that would fit this job really well, and it's something I think I'd be really good at.

My problem is with self-promotion. I'm really bad at it. Even though I know I have the skills and the experience, I feel like I'm lying when I put it all on my resume. Then I have a meltdown because I feel like a terrible person who's bad at everything and incapable of functioning well enough to have a real job.

I've been trying to get this done for nearly a week now. All I want to do is write "I'm good at some stuff so please give me a job" on a sheet of notebook paper and send them that instead. It's so stressful, and I don't know how to manage my meltdowns enough to actually get it done.
