    This resonated with me on so many levels. I always wanted to work on Wall Street and made it fairly young as well and was highly successful early on and am already in a supervisory role. I also remember specific dates from my life and accomplishments but also remember what day of the week it was too. For example I moved to the US March 17, 2015 and it was a Tuesday. I also struggle with impostor syndrome and use substances to cope and party with. I'm trying to get out of it, but it takes being comfortable in your own skin and really having confidence from competence to stop. I'm on my way, I know I'll be able to beat it, but just wanted to let anyone who's going through this know that it's ok, just keep pushing, it'll be alright if you just keep pushing.
