Imposter Syndrome and working in the second half of the cycle

I have so much to ask which I think is one of the reasons why I haven’t used this feature yet but I want to just begin. So I’m in the process of many things with my period and cycles, and one of them is dealing with the way I feel and struggle in the second half of the cycle, or when I’m tired (I’m not sure if I am deficient or have PMDD).

Feelings of guilt, imposter syndrome and talking down on myself come up strongly when applying for jobs and I just don’t have much faith that I’ll get it. I’m a creative, and feel like I’m always juggling between trying different jobs, I’ve not actually managed to get a job that I feel has flowed well with my cycle or to my talents yet in my life and would really like to discover what that looks like for me and how to manage this and working, with painful, heavy and debilitating periods. I’ve applied for many but rarely been accepted. Plus being diagnosed with having dyspraxia and dyscalculia, I find it hard focus on one thing and to plan, manage my time well and focus when on a laptop for too long or writing a form.

I don’t feel like I’m thriving as much as my potential could be and would love some help on figuring out how to deal with this feeling of ‘not being good enough’ for the rhythms of what life demands, and what I want to create and experience in life.
