Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I keep telling myself I’ll finally feel okay about myself once I hit the next thing
• My most alive moments have come when I was so deep into something that I lost track of time and forgot myself entirely
• I want to throw myself completely into this and also not be destroyed if it doesn’t land, and right now those feel impossible to hold at once
• I’ve folded so completely into us that I’m not sure I have a life of my own anymore
• When I throw myself fully into something and it doesn’t pan out, I’m crushed
