Mind Agonies

I hate the games my brain plays with my emotions. Maybe it isn't even my brain. Maybe it's my emotions playing with my brain??

I am looking for a new job, and I hate that when I'm filling out applications or looking online at ads, my brain automatically tells me how dumb I am, or the million different reasons I'm not good enough, not experienced or (most certainly of all) that I don't have enough education.

It is making my confidence plummet, and I'm frustrated that it has only taken one evening of looking to make that happen. I know when I go to interviews, I don't feel that way at all, so I am not sure why this stage of job hunting phases me so badly.

I wish I could tame my brain. I know that I have had success when I've done that before, so why does it seem to not work right now?
