I have always had low self esteem issues. It got worse after living with an abusive man who was always threatening to kill me.

I work as an IT Project Manager for an insurance company. I lead different projects where we either create new systems or add enhancements to existing systems due to new business or changes in the health industry.

I work from home leading calls all day and are given dates by when the changes need to be done. The timelines are usually too short so it is a very stressful job.

I am always fearful of failing and wish I could be as good as many of the other Project Managers. In my mind I never measure up.

I believe this thinking is getting in the way of being more successful or happy with my job.

These feelings are so ingrained in me that I don't know if I will ever be able to believe in myself.
