Just had a meeting for work. Could barely say anything. Asked our AE to read what I wrote. I feel terrible and stupid, and above everything I hate that I feel like it. I want to punch myself every time such things happen. I just hate it & myself. I'm so angry. I can't do this for the rest of my life
