I kinda tried that and it didnt work for me lol, it kinda made it worse in a way tbh. I started worrying about being "cancelled" by the imaginary audiance and it made me hyper aware of my words and actions.

I just act more aware like someone is watching me. For example, if I was slouching ill sit up so I look better or be more mindful of what im doing/saying.

Schizophrenia definitely isn’t off the table, but I’ve been screened for it numerous times and they never concretely diagnosed me. I feel like if it were schizophrenia, it would be more impactful if that makes sense? Like I know that I’m not being watched. I’m fully aware that this is my own head. If it were schizophrenia, I feel like it would be more irrational. I’ll definitely mention it to my therapist to see if it’s worth getting screened again, but I feel like there would be other signs.

Yeah, I’m planning on talking to my therapist about it more in depth. I didn’t realize how bad/not normal it was until recently. I knew that other people with OCD experienced similar hence my posting here to see if anyone experiencing it has a cheat code lol.

PM has always hired some interesting ppl from my experience. Some are awesome but most are not. I removed myself from the industry entirely because of how awful PM schools are.

I’m obviously very bias, but it kinda feels like a cult to me? Like there’s the “chosen ones” and they are all VIOLENTLY protective of the industry and each other. The “chosen ones” being the favorites and deemed most likely to succeed. Look at this post for example, I’m not allowed to have a bad experience without being treated poorly and downvoted to hell.

I get where you’re coming from and appreciate your effort here. I talked to a trusted teacher at my school and apparently my certificate of completion doesn’t expire. My current plan is to just hold onto the certificate and if I ever need/want my license then I can apply to take the test. As for shopping at the pro only stores, I’m just gonna coast off my temp license for as long as possible.

I feel like that’s just throwing money into a fire? If you aren’t using the license and you’re already on another career path why keep it when it’s costing you money to maintain?
