I woke up in the middle of the night, with a disturbing thought in my head about the startup:
What the hell am I doing? How can my startup possibly succeed, with competitors lurking out there, little IP, and no money?
The day before, I had a pretty dismal day with the six-month startup (no progress). The tech startup was up and down -- a good lunch meeting with my cofounder in which we narrowed down our next steps, and I did a pretty good analysis of some of the market factors that we need to pay attention to. But we still have so far to go.
In the meantime, I have no income, and many, many costs, including looming student debt (payments start 6 months after graduation).
The worry and anxiety caught up with me in my dream state. Self-doubt regularly surfaces, but this was a particularly bad. This morning I was able to "talk myself down", and pledge to make some real progress tomorrow. But it would help if I had someone to commiserate with at a moments notice (both of my partners were not available).
